I think this often comes down to why a team uses Scrum. Does the team actually see value in it and want to use it? Or are they told they have to use Scrum?

I moved to DDG a month or so ago. One thing I miss is the contextualization of my results. Google knew so much about me, it new that if I was searching for a cafe that it should search my local area. DDG doesn't know me and so for roug

I agree. Scrum is training wheels. If your team is mature and knows when to talk to each other then awesome, let the team do what works for them. I feel like Scrum is for teams that suffer Stockholm syndrome from poor management and need to

I don't think I have ever seen it done as badly as some of these comments. Scrum itself is a very light and quite flexible framework, half of the complaints here aren't even Scrum related. User stories aren't part of Scrum, n

Why are your managers attending stand up? The Daily Scrum is the team's meeting. I swear Scrum is only fragile because no one reads the bloody book, or if they do they skim it or ignore it. From the scrum guide... "The Daily Scrum

I ask for help as often as I need to when I need to get something done. Of course I try to explore other avenues first wen possible. But you will probably find that if someone is answering other peoples a lot of the time then they probably

I want to be a development team member (scrum terminology). I have a lot of random skills in different areas, being a developer, an agile coach and in another life a designer. I just want to work on a team and do whatever is necessary to ma

I was just thinking about this post again today and came back. It reminded me of a quote from Steve Jobs about a calligraphy class... “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefac

This is me in a nutshell too. This year has been film photography, drone piloting, 3d printing, vector graphics, javascript, speaker building and learning arduino. As soon as I get hooked I go overboard. Like with film photography I have go

Absolutely agree here. Something like 80% of how we communicate is not in spoken word, it is tone of voice, facial expressions and body movement. Make sure to ask broad questions and ask why a lot. If you get awkward silence you are normall

Code Club is great. Has a one year curriculum of Scratch -> HTML & CSS -> Python. Aimed at 10-12, but easily caters to other ages too. Have a look at the tutorials below... https://codeclubprojects.org/en-GB/

I am glad we are on the same page. The problem is that these don't translate well when we turn them into practical frameworks. So how do we teach mindset?

I still find it hard to believe that people still struggle to grasp the concept of Agile. It is not a solution to Project Management, it is an alternative. I see a lot of other comments that struggle to see the concept put into practice bui

Less than $2, just get one some of these... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-1pcs-Digispark... Wack a buzzer on them, add some code and then leave them in a usb port near your victim. Easy.

I am not sure that agile is the right term for what you are both describing. It doesn't mean releasing things before they are ready. Agile is about potentially shippable increments and customer collaboration. Again this doesn't me

A lot of the smaller blogs and personal sites I follow use CSS and Javascript in quite unique ways that give them the freedom to express themselves. I think this is a huge use case that your view misses out on in a people-centric web. I agr

I really like this approach. I like too include physical interactions in all the facilitation that I do, it makes the concept super clear. Try to cover all the possible scenarios when you are planning it out, what happens when multiple mine

It is pretty interesting to see Stoicism in a modern context too. Albert Ellis developed Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) in 1955. And later started the Albert Ellis Institute ( http://albertellis.org/ ) with the aim

Paper gains. Sure its a pyramid of assumptions that could topple at any moment. But if it continues the way it has been, then it can accomplish the goal.

This isn't an assumption I would make immediately, but I am not a hiring manager, so I can see your point. Perhaps ask about how they choose to encourage inclusivity? This only covers one aspect of managing diversity though. Other than

Exactly this. Agile is a mindset. It is a set of values, most of which should be common sense. "You are saying we should listen to the customer? You are saying we should talk to each other and share ideas?" If you think bootstrapp
