Millions of professionals have found new ways of creating software (and other products) using the values and principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development (or Agile Manifesto). At the height of Agile, people saw it as a panacea for all software-related, even all product-related problems. Nowadays, Agile is a commodity. “Everyone” works Agile these days. Some proclaim we are in the post-Agile era. Others say Agile is Dead. Is Agile Really Dead?

What To Do When Your Team Says They Do Not Need The Daily Scrum? When your team pushes back against the daily stand-up, responding with thoughtfulness and adaptability is essential.

How Do We Do Better Capacity Planning & Forecasting? Quarterly planning always seems to creep up on us. It’s a busy time, and teams are usually scrambling to get their projects scoped. I used to feel the same pressure — like no matter how much effort I put into planning, something always slipped through the cracks.

Just Focus on Yourself.. Nobody Really Cares What You Do.. We thought that people were watching us. I don’t want to say that we are narcissistic, because I’m not going to talk about that.

Top 10 Principles For Effective Team Leaders The role of a leader is to build the business and grow the team…at the same time. Appreciation is the most valuable currency your team wants and needs. Praise in public, coach in private You aren’t just the team leader…you are the head talent scout and training coach. As team leader, EQ and CQ are more important than IQ. Teach your team to bring you solutions, not just problems. Ensure your team understands and commits to the “disagree and commit” principle. If you love drama, go to the theater because drama at work can ruin your business. Make sure you and your team members “stay in your lane.” Sometimes, a team member must find their “happy place” somewhere else.
