Leading the conversation on digital connected work
Having to say “I don’t know” can elicit feelings of anxiety and inadequacy at work, like all of your hard work will be for nothing if you can’t answer whatever specific question has been thrown at you. This may stem from childhood, when not knowing what the teacher had just mentioned five minutes before would...
Are the benefits of employee crowdsourcing in large organizations a myth, or is crowdsourcing a sound strategy to invest in? Does crowdsourcing for ideas to improve one’s business lead to employee engagement, or is it a waste of time? Based on the results demonstrated at Rogers and TELUS – two of the largest telecom operators...

What flow time does do is help quantify the probability of completing x percent of work in so many days – Dominica DeGrandis, author of Making Work Visible and Principal Flow Advisor at Tasktop Every second counts in software delivery.

During a sprint planning session, items are chosen from the product backlog to be worked on in the sprint. However, not all product backlog items (PBI) are created equal, and the prioritization process for what will be chosen is essential for the smooth running and eventual success of the sprint. PBIs that meet certain criteria...
Meetings are one of the most important, yet also maligned aspects of the professional world.

I en tidigare blogg, "Agile Release Trains are Key to Scaling Output", gick jag igenom hur Agile Release Trains (som består av flera agila team) är nyckeln till Agile i stor skala. Att bygga framgångsrika team är ett bra första steg, men anpassning mellan teamen sker inte bara av sig självt - det kräver ett kontinuerligt engagemang från agila ledare. Agila ceremonier...
Det är ingen hemlighet att projektledning har sina utmaningar, och en av dem är att kunna kommunicera projektplaner och framsteg på ett enkelt och lätt sätt som alla kan förstå.
