Photo by 2H Media on Unsplash https://hbr.org/2023/10/5-questions-to-get-your-project-team-on-the-same-page Above is the link to the HBR article. I believe anyone can get access. Here’s the opening paragraph: When a misaligned project team succeeds, it’s an accident. Without alignment — that is, a shared understanding and commitment — team members work at cross-purposes and doom projects to failure. […]
Priority Poker
I revised an article on using wide-band delphi estimation for Business Value. See: Wide-band delphi estimation for Business Value – 1 Two parts. The link is to Part 1, and has a link itself to Part 2. It has links to two downloadable articles. Very useful.
Kent McDonald: Story Splitting
Kent McDonald has done a lot of good work. We all should thank him. Here is one very useful post about story splitting: Story Splitting The post includes a slide deck with 21 story-splitting examples. Very handy.

“Where the head goes, the body follows”
Apparently this (the title) is a Ryan Holiday quote. (He wrote a somewhat famous book: “The obstacle is the way.”) Today I want to talk about the OPPOSITE. Well, kind of. Many of us believe that “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” NO, no, I did not really mean that. […]

Use these with some of the Agile Games described […]

Scrum cards: To many of you that will mean the Fibonacci cards, AKA Planning Poker (TM) cards. But NO! At least not this time. This time we mean the “scrum_cards” (that name is the title of the PDF file) that explain Scrum. Below is a link for the new version of the Scrum Cards (again, […]
Webinar on Scrum Guide 2020 on March 21, 2023
Hi all, We talked through the Scrum Guide. Some questions came up: Q: Will you tell us exactly how Scrum works? Hmm. The Scrum Guide kind of does that. And I added to that. Still I am not sure it was “exactly” or “completely”. There is always a lot more to add and you all […]
