Arguing Agile · 2026-07-29 · 1h 6m
Your job description was written to get you hired, not help you know if a decision is your to make. That gap between what's on paper and who actually decides is where careers go to die. Experience & Process Improvement Leader Clint Murt once again joins Product Manager Brian Orlando and Enterprise Business Agility Leader Om Patel in a debate on why job descriptions and/or job role descriptions may buy false comfort, when executive "intrusion" is actually legitimate, and the problem with decision-making that nobody owns. Listen or watch if you're interested in : • Why job descriptions go stale the day they're posted • How that "startup magic" that becomes chaos at 100 people and burns out your best talent • When that exec has the right to overrides your roadmap • Why RACIs are fiction and what to use instead • Practical fixes for decision rights If you are a product managers, agile coach, or tech leader tired of role confusion and turf wars, this episode is for you!
