“Most teams archive too much. We err on the side of archiving everything, because we can. But when we archive everything, we make the things we truly need harder to find.” - @ttorres bit.ly/3qWHVWu #prodmgmt #ux #engineering

I love this book! An amazing book on getting mentors was released last week, Mentor to Millions. I was told it's 99 cents on Kindle until the end of TODAY. click.convertkit-mail.com/zludmkgw2cnh5v…

With all the people working remote, you may want to remember to take care of the social part of work as well. We sometimes undervalue the need for that. One example can be to pair up and have coffee/tea breaks together over video. That feels good when you are home alone :)

@NativeWired @neil_killick Try the magic of *cadence* : a recurring whole-team slot; then add just enough agenda just in time. No more hunting! ;-)

I feel like I just spent my whole day looking for slots in people's calendars, so we can talk.... For a whole team it seems impossible

@johannarothman @neil_killick You often have to buy yourself some space away from the crazy pressure before you can exercise patience. Pick one thing, empower the team, shield them from the pressure. Use this success to gain trust from the pressure source. Flip that trust into more patience.

It's simple really — ☑️ Hire smart, motivated people ☑️ Tell them what needs to be achieved, not what you want them to do ☑️ Provide the tools, support and space they require ☑️ Step forward when they need you to, otherwise stand back ☑️ Be patient ☑️ Watch the magic happen

The word “unit” in “unit-testing” usually just means “small”. Other than that, the word has no agreed definition. Some TDDers call them micro-tests to stress the smallness. I prefer “programmer tests” because, using TDD, they are written by programmers for programmers.

Improv actors don’t know what is going to come up, but whatever does, they are determined to accept, respect, & add to it. Surprising results emerge when wehave a yes, and mindset in the team; nothing is impossible, nothing can stop us, & the creativity and energy is immense.

@ruthmalan @BreneBrown @skamille I wish everyone in a leadership/mgmt position who is in a position to measure stuff would read Measuring & Managing Performance in Organizations (fondly MMPO) by Austin + what ever @t_magennis has posted about metrics. And his book on this topic, when it comes to life.

Indeed, we (re)plan often, even daily: just enough, just in time!

The notion that there is no planning in Agile is remarkably ignorant. Planning is the core practice of Agile. Observe, Plan, Execute, Evaluate. Over and over and over.
