Great point. I guess my line of thinking was scoped to Uber alone.

I appreciate the note, but please don't infer passive-aggressiveness when all I was seeking was clarity.

To be clear, are the "rats" those who believe it to be economically-sensible to continue working or those who choose to follow through with the strike?

I think we're on the same page in our thought process. The opportunity cost of this strike is unclear to those who choose to take part. I'm not hopeful this will bring the change these drivers are seeking.

Hailing back to microeconomics 101, won't this cause a sharp decrease in supply, causing an increase in price and higher wages for those who find it economically-sensible to continue providing service in these cities until S&D equi

The effectiveness of a retro rests upon the empowerment of the entire team. If the team isn't empowered to own their own success/failure, then there is no point in doing a retro. From my experience, business units need just as muc

As others have noted, I think it's important to note the difference between Agile and Scrum. Agile is a mindset, Scrum is a framework that encapsulates a lot of Agile tenants. The ideas of a sprint or backlog or cards are purely Scrum.

Man, some of the comments on here are really disheartening. What's the deal with trying to humble people with long-winded, tangential counterpoints, gotchas, and condescending questions? Constantly proving one's intellect seems to

This is the core theme behind why Drive Capital threw down roots in Columbus, Ohio. The talent is there, and they're beginning to see the fruits of their patient investment.

As an Agile coach, I agree to an extent. Metrics can be and are often times weaponized by management to exact control over a project. I wish more organizations saw Agile metrics, or any metrics for that matter, as conversation starters for

Thank you. I've been humbled.

It's amazing how deleting my account gave me a sense of autonomy over my own thoughts. It took a while, but after some time I didn't care about what other people liked and didn't like. It's amazing what original thought

I believe it was discussed early on when the article states McNamee believed that's when FB started to receive emotional cues from users. But I can see why readers might want a more thorough dissection of that point.

Living in Ohio, we're well equipped to handle this. Will be thinking about everyone else who may not be use to these types of conditions. Stay smart, safe, and somehow warm everyone!

I really enjoy reading content that elicits more questions than answers provided. This is one of those pieces and mirrors my experience as well. I lived/grew up in Columbus, Ohio, before moving to the Bay. Columbus has a very nice tech

I have to agree with this. What people need to understand is Scrum clearly states the framework itself is not intended to solve your problems. Rather, it's set up to unveil your problems so you and your team can solve them yourselves.

I was in your boat not too long ago (honestly, I'm still there but it's become better), and I realized a simple, yet effective way to interact with people without having to a.) talk as much and b.) put your opinions out there for

I agree. It's amazing how many people on here are blaming the framework for their organization's implementation/interpretation of the framework. There's an insane amount of work going into discussions with people who&#x2

Focusing on story points is not Scrum, so why blame Scrum? Rather it's clearly delineated that a Scrum team product owner's main job is to maximize the value delivered through development to the customer. 50 story points means not

Scrum isn't meant to solve problems, it's meant to reveal them so you and your team can solve them yourselves. Scrum is a framework and doesn't prescribe any development practices. Rather you use the framework and iteratively

Scrum isn't a process, it's a framework to utilize your own processes. That's like blaming the framework of the house for a bad paint job.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. I don't know why anyone would blame the water for a dehydrated horse.

Since when is this an excuse for not exhibiting courage to adhere to the framework? Scrum was built on experience, not theory anyways.

Common sense theme here: focus on a small group of people and delight them. If they're having the same problem, chances are others are as well. Be authentic, work smart, and deliver value based on what people are telling you.

To be fair, Scrum doesn't try to capture development time estimates, only the effort needed to provide value. Work items inherently vary in size, or estimated effort. However, enough work should be planned during planning for the dev t
