What kind of society do we live in when a young parent thinks its acceptable to use the F word on a plane full of families because we are having to wait 15 minutes for the steps to be connected to the aircraft door?

Seriously people grow up! This is the selfish behaviour of 3 year old kids, no care or consideration for anything other than what they want. People never fail to disappoint me!

A healthy (predictable) #Scrum team delivers the amount of planned work (or more) - in terms of PBIs or SPs - ~50% of the time. A very healthy Scrum team doesn't concern themselves with Sprint output & instead focuses on delivering useful & impactful solutions to customer needs.

Getting more from kanban in Jira

Jira has its limitations, but some of those can be overcome with a sprinkle of creativity.

Continuous Improvement by Attrition; the art of improving IT agility at the expense of your workforce, leading to a high turnover of staff. Can this really be thought of as improving? #agile

If we take SW biz as a "discovery" problem instead of brick-laying ("delivery") problem, we quickly find that predictive methods are inadequate. This is the core of agile: adaptive methods work best. Estimation is predictive, not adaptive.

At what point in time did scrum become a project management tool? I didn't realise that sprint ends were deadlines. That sprint goals were hard and fast deadlines. I'm starting to question if my understanding of scrum is the same as everyone elses. #scrum

Found this in the a document called Product Aikido by @flowchainsensei . There is so much truth in this statement.

Here comes another rushed finish to meet an arbitrary deadline, and once again the developers are doing all they can to cover up the cracks and gaps. No trust, honesty and transparency once again. #Scrum

The artificial deadline I am referring to is a project deadline. I am not referring to the end of a sprint. And for record, I support the use of Scrum, although not when used out of the context it was designed for.

No amount of collaboration workshops can help an overloaded team made up of members who are appraised on individual performance.
