- How to get Product, Delivery & Engineering to work harmoniously
- How story points can save the world and how to use them properly
- Whether Scrum is any good and some of the ways to make it work for your business
- The tricky balance between Product Delivery and fixing tech debt  
- How to use the data you already have to help inform future delivery decisions
- How to use data to sell your message to the leadership team
- How running a band and running Product Delivery are pretty similar
And much more!
