Last few years I've been more focused on doing than talking, so it was refreshing to get to talk about what I've been doing.

Yesterday I had the pleasure to teach @metropolia students how to operate data flows with @PlatformOfTrust tools.

I thought I'd write a little Python script on my new work laptop and it kindly asked me to install Xcode developer tools first.

I guess I'll come back to that Python script next week 😅

You just gotta love the feeling when after a persistent flu your body starts to feel healthy and yearn for some exercise!

Nothing, nothing beats the feeling of being alive!

Is it a sign you're on the right track with your career if your CEO shares the same style?

He just needs a little time to let that hair grow, though...

Was really energizing seeing @anttiharjunpaa and other colleagues face-to-face after a while!

What a lovely lunch we had! Thank you for planning and organizing it, @rikutiula 👌🥗

I've been trying out a new habit of dedicating one work day each week for larger tasks that require creativity and focus - in other words the cozy feeling of having the space and time you need.

Oh it feels good to turn off notifications for a couple of hours and GET THINGS DONE!

I'm surprised how effectively a two-day PI Planning session for some 30-40 people can be arranged completely online!

Using tools like Microsoft Teams meetings and Miro (Online Whiteboard) we at @PlatformOfTrust were able to plan the development with multiple teams in parallel!

What a bustle in the #MiroBoard!

The first part of our 3 days long virtual Product Increment (PI) Planning meeting is almost completed and we can definitely call it a day!

We are using Scaled Agile Framework (#SAFe).

What do you do when you start craving for something sweet at a grocery store after an intense day at work?

Instead of opting for a chocolate bar or a bag of candies, how about going for something healthier instead?

There are good fruit & berry bars to choose from.

My SAFe journey continues.

Now I'm a certified Product Owner.

Biohacking 101: Keep your goals visible somewhere

I found some good use for our blackboard-like wall in the kitchen.

It's important to save time for reflection, otherwise you'll end up spending even more time running around aimlessly.

Which one would you value higher:

- completing the task with the highest business value in your current development sprint
- managing to put your two small daughters to sleep together for the first time

Tough one? Not really.

Anyway, a successful day, I suppose :)
