Come join Kyle Chandler and myself in a THOUGHT EXCHANGE on how organizations often find themselves providing false promises and false estimations using very common techniques.
We'll be asking and answering intriguing questions while providing space for…lnkd.in/dEqVwVn
If you can clearly explain the benefit of Kanban or Scrum without using jargons (e.g. sprint), and instead focus on the business context and impact, then I think you will have a wider and more engaged audience

As the world changes, leaders also need to evolve their management style. But how?
My friend and mentor Martin Aziz touched on this topic in his keynote on Modern Management.

It's such a duh statement that people often forget: "if you do nothing, nothing will happen". Might as well try something out to open up possibilities instead of being inactive

Great article on superb communication in chaotic times. Per Mayfields' research-based model, on top of direction giving, communication from leaders also need to address "meaning-making" and "empathy"

People are drawn to familiarity. E.g. A detailed framework or a method that they were exposed to in another context
Wouldn't it be better to start from what you do now, and test different practices in an #evolutionary way to see which ones deliver better result in your context?
#flow vs #utilization Scenario:
QA buffer was full, but QA env was down, so no testing could be done
SDM: "Despite dev done, please don't pull in additional features per QA buffer's WIP limit"
Dev Mgr: "Dev will be idle then. Lets increase QA WIP limit"
SDM: "!@#$%"

Knowing that pregnancy takes 9 months, it doesn't make sense to ask wife to deliver a baby in 4
Per historica metrics, knowing that the current capability of delivering an initiative is 3 months, does it make sense to expect delivery in 1 month?

Riddle: What happens if you use a spreadsheet to track defects, a JIRA board to visualize stories, and a physical board to provide granular optics for execs on the stories?
Answer: 3 meaningless tools with conflicting info that no one uses
