Many software teams create services exposed as APIs, without any user-interface and hard to demonstrate. A demo front-end is a simple user-interface just used to manipulate such an API. Matteo Vaccari describes how and why to build one.

@toddcharron I tend to find that the development part of the delivery value stream is the least part of it. Work that takes 2 days will be in queues 3x, 5x, 10x times as long.

After some genius coding I deployed my latest feature in our software and In a fit of euphoria I announced on Teams that 'I was fucking megaman'. I never lived it down and to avoid interacting with the team ever again started working on just bug fixes and support tasks.

@tastapod @jbonnemaison Hurried people hurry.

Quite often it's more like "people do what their bosses value" and often the bosses don't value sustainable, disciplined practices; they appreciate expeditious action.

What happened to Agile Coaching?

I’ve been in Agile for quite some time now

What I see today doesn’t look anything like the Agile I got involved with

I think it's time we talked about it

I've been doing training for a long time now, and have a fairly systematic approach to designing training courses that works for me

This 1st article covers how I go from early conversations with a potential customer to a concrete proposal.

I flipping love a story map. IMO there is no better tool to help you get started the right way. Walking the skeleton especially. Thanks, @jeffpatton 🤩

I'm mystified that knowledge work orgs are still debating whether remote work can be effective (or even workable).

Are you running a business or a prisoner work release program? If you need to physically loom over your staff to get the most out of them, something is very wrong.
