Today we are heading into the world of software engineering, and specifically into a company that has spent fourteen years trying to answer…","meta_description":"Scrums.com https://www.scrums.com This episode of The Next Biz Thing turns its attention to Scrums.com, a Software Engineering Orchestration Platform that…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":691,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/next-biz-thing-unveiling-tomorrow-s-business-6794632/episodes/next-biz-thing-395-scrums-com/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/next-biz-thing-unveiling-tomorrow-s-business-6794632/next-biz-thing-395-scrums-com.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
