“If you measure anything, measure wait time” – Dominica DeGrandis, Making Work Visible A major part of Flow Metrics is tracking all the work that goes into planning, building and delivering a product for the business. Just as it’s important to track how much value you’re delivering, how long work is takin, and how much...
One of the most important elements of the Scrum methodology is the “sprint.” This is a pre-defined amount of time, usually between one and four weeks, within which a certain number of tasks connected to a project are set to be completed. The sprint kicks off with a sprint planning session on Day One, where...
Decentralized leadership offers a lot of benefits, such as increased decision velocity, faster reaction times and more targeted actions and projects.

That is, the better it does, the fewer people there are to fill necessary jobs to maintain productivity. This skills gap is something the US is currently...

Detta har gett premiärminister Boris Johnson en enorm majoritet för att driva igenom sin lagstiftningsagenda, med omfattande effekter för både den brittiska ekonomin och samhället i allmänhet.
