Great photography by yours truely of the Sales and Marketing brain trust at @XWP having a chance to get together while at #WCEU2022. So much value being face to face and the conference hasn’t even started!
Finally meeting some of my colleagues in person at one of the @XWP HQs in Porto. Preparations for #WCEU are going well. And luckily there are enough Pastéis De Nata to keep us going. 🤤 #XWP #XWPeople 💙🚀💜 pic by @talimyles

Joining @XWP people at #WCEU2022 shows what a fantastic global Tribe we have at XWP. The bonus is @WCEurope is in Porto!
We’re on our way! 🚀 We’re SO excited to be in the amazing city of Porto for @WCEurope to reunite and catch up with all of our amazing friends and colleagues in the #WordPress space! 🙌 Who else can we expect to see at this year’s @Wordcamp? 🥳 #WCEU2022 #WCEU

Outsourcing is a bad idea. (shocker) Low performers are almost 4x as likely to use functional outsourcing. Read about it and some of the consequences (search for “Misguided performers”) in the 2018 Accelerate State of DevOps Report #ASODR cloudplatformonline.com/2018…

I bet if you really look at it the cause won't be technical but management and leadership. #dontsackthetechie #sydneytrains #5whys
Service disruptions and delays across the network are ongoing due to technical issues. Make alternative travel arrangements & avoid non-essential travel where possible as large gaps in service may occur. Allow plenty of extra travel time & listen to announcements for updates.

R.I.P. Over the next 10-15 years we’ll see a lot more companies end up on the corporate graveyard like Kodak & Nokia. Only few companies I know are good at the full innovation spectrum of experimentation, learning, scaling, corporate venturing, and strategic acquisitions. – at Gorgier, Suisse

Great thread representing many discussions I've had with 'the business' when I'm asked to 'go faster' teapaw.org/tottinge/status/101526…
A: How long is a story point in real time? B: How many did you do in your last sprint? A: 23 B: Then, for you, it's a 23rd of a sprint A: But the time before that it was 19 B: Then for you at the time it was 1/19th of a sprint. A: But how long is it really? B: We answered that.

Yoshida found that, even though 100% of front-line problems were known to the front-line employees, only 74% were known to team leaders, 9% to middle management and just 4% to top management! corporate-rebels.com/iceberg… – at Sydney, New South Wales

Time, cost, quality and scope. And benefits. You can't fix all of them #digitaldelivery #lean #agile

If you want things fast and agile keep things simple. Applies to rugby and digital delivery #lean #allblacks

A KPI has to be achievable, but when innovating, you don't know what is achievable #lean #orgdesign
