New post! It's been a hot minute, so let's tackle a hot topic.
What's an Agile Defect? https://t.co/1bcvNgGr5g

If you were building a team assessment, what one question would YOU make sure was on it?

@notshenetworks You put things away. That would a be a record for me. 😜

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

New note about exciting opportunities. No changes to current engagements - just a note about what the future may hold!

This is one of the requirements for a Thank God It’s Monday mindset. #TGIM

@notshenetworks vim? Pshaw. vi is the bomb. 😜

Commodore Grace Hopper once said: “the most dangerous phrase in business is saying ‘we’ve always done it that way.”
Need new thinking to break old ruts. What are you changing today?

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

@notshenetworks About…?

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

@notshenetworks Just check your hair products before you go. And don’t go with more than 2 other friends.
Can’t complete the sacrifice with fewer than 5. 😜

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

@lissijean Yes. It is definitely the bad place.

I posted a new video about reading a #CumulativeFlowDiagram, one of the best #agile #metrics.

Ugh. I thought I’d be cute and set the “birthdate” of my business account (@artemisagile) to be the date it was incorporated (because @twitter prompted me to).
It got locked because it was “underage”.
🤦🏻‍♂️

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

I was happy to see that @TechWell opened submissions for next June in Las Vegas. I spoke there 2 years ago and it was a great experience. They run a great conference, so if you’re interested, I would highly recommend it.
I submitted 2 topics already. 😜

@shanselman Gotta be careful when you don’t use the #sarcasm tag…

Jerry Weinberg observed that you lose ~20% of your effectiveness for every simultaneous task you take on. If you’re both doing development and doing a meeting-heavy process like Scrum, you’re doing two things w/ a 20% productivity loss. Doesn’t even count time spent in meetings.

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

Yes. So (not) surprising!

"…surprise! Everyone was happier, healthier, and more productive."

Iceland ran the world's largest trial of a shorter work week. The results will (not) shock you. https://t.co/jwzPMhFVxR

I’d like to do some estimation boards (columns to do relative estimating) and not seeing anything in Jira (shocker!).
What do you guys use for remote participants? Other than #Rally or #VersionOne. 😜

[Bill DeVoe @bdevoe_artemis]

The more I use Jira, the more I’m reminded just how hobbled it is to do basic agile stuff.
I wish companies would stop going “all in” on it just because it claims to support agile/Scrum. #sigh
