Getting people to actually try it is much harder. 😄</p> <p>If you're a Scrum Master, Agile Coach, developer, or project manager, I'd appreciate any feedback.</p> <p>🌐 <a href="https://bugnbrag.com%E2%81%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://bugnbrag.com⁠</a></p> <p>Thanks in advance to those who check it out</p> <p>Joe</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdx9t2h4xie4e618c2twb.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fdx9t2h4xie4e618c2twb.png" alt=" " width="800" height="403"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fsmrj0o67se9zqsfdzz00.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fsmrj0o67se9zqsfdzz00.png" alt=" " width="800" height="403"></a></p>
