## Resource

Bob's back from Agile Coach Camp Cologne, and the room was heavy with "agile is dead" energy. Josh and Bob aren't buying it. What's actually dead is the free ride. The coaches still talking in burndown charts and psychological safety while leaders ask "what did YOU actually do" are the ones with the real problem. This episode is about making the shift, dropping the team-centric defensive crouch, and learning to coach the system before the title on your business card becomes a liability.
