## Resource

🎙️ On this episode of the Take5IRL Podcast, all three co-hosts—@Mike, @Jeff, and @Pat—continue the series S*** We Hate About Agile: Velocity! Pat brings this one to the table as they come full circle in the series. He shares how he started his career loving velocity… but after years of real-world experience, his perspective has completely changed. And yes—he’s got a few things to get off his chest. Mike and Jeff jump in with their own experiences, and the conversation quickly shifts from why velocity causes problems to how to avoid falling into the same traps. If you’ve ever felt like velocity created more confusion than clarity, this one’s for you. And stick around—Pat shares what he recommends instead of opening the can of worms that is velocity. Drop your thoughts below—has velocity helped your team, or hurt it?
