Excellent presentation from Angel Uy about how to improve communication for better decision making, better outcomes and everything in between #agileaus23
How not to slice stories:
1) This is a 10-step process, so we'll do step 1 first...
2) Let's do all the UI work, then database work, then backend, then...
3) This is chopped up into Tom's part, Singh's part, Connie's part, and Ronnga's part.
We’ve all spent money on dumb domains for side projects that never get used but very few of us have spent billions on a site to then retrofit to our silly domain asset
It may be hard to believe, but most people simply don't know how to break work down for delivery.
They only break it down for development, so it can be assigned to different people.
This is the root of much dysfunction.
”I should like to think that prehistoric man’s first invention, the first condition for his survival, was a sense of humor.” Andre Leroi-Gourhan, paleoanthropologist as quoted in Who Do We Choose To Be? Book, Wheatley
In Vienna, 80% of residents rent, and virtually every rental has some form of rent control. As a result residents rent for life and often pay as little as 8% of their income on rent (compared to over 30% for renters in Oz). 60% live in social housing.

Wow. I got my first #ChatGPT-written paper for an undergrad assignment on positionality. This line was the tell: “I do not have a personal history, identity, or culture in the traditional sense because I am an artificial intelligence language model.” Ooof!
