I do something with software ... and with people (or is it the other way round?)

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@mipsytipsy Every other year I learn anew how incredibly big the influence of team spirit/mood/psychlogical safety is on velocity. At least as big as hard skills. If you define the role of the manager in a way that it promotes exactly that - go for it!

HEY @DB_BAHN , Verspätungen sind ja euer tägl Brot. Warum könnt Ihr dann nicht vernünftig kommunizieren? Man sucht im Navigator ne Alternative, rennt zum Bahnsteig und stellt fest, dass die noch viel (VIEL) mehr Verspätung hat. Ihr seid so schlecht. Habt Ihr keine Berufsehre?

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@cmueller80 @Thomas_Michl Mach auf jeden Fall die #IPMA Zert, da lernt man viel Handwerkszeug, das auch für #agile hilfreich oder sogar essentiell ist. Bei einer agile Zert ist das leider eher nicht der Fall - da lernt man schlimmstenfalls #scrum.

@PawelHuryn I want to win the Tour de France. Can you recommend some books about cycling?

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@PawelHuryn We have just hired a new PM. He convinced me because, despite limited experience, he already experienced cases where the solution by the book did not work and he had to think for himself and dared to do so.

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@mariofusco You just asked one :-)

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@onejasonknight Just ignore that statement - boom - you have useful framework.

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@onejasonknight The author takes the Scrum Guide literally and leaves no room for own interpretations (and adaptations). He argues like a religious fundamentalist.
So my answer is 4) because using Scrum does not stop you from thinking.

Writing a blog post about #agile and #scrum.
Did a typo:
"Courage is one of the scum values."

@polak_jasper We do this ~30 mins/day. Sometimes, we even get into problem solving. Still, nobody got killed. What's wrong with us?

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@BrianRoemmele I watched Star Trek even earlier!

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@JustAnotherPM WHO nearly always is wrong. Eg. homeowner is happy if roof is just flying stationary - an ENGINEER may insist on walls.

WHAT mustnt be restricted to views of the user: Pillars support the roof even better.

WHY is superimportant, but with current template users focus on WHAT.

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

Nailed it!

[Ant Murphy @ant_murphy]

Companies often think company culture is having the occasional social event.

But it's:
- What you say & do
- What you reward
- What goes unsaid...what's ignored
- What is non-negotiable
- Widely accepted social norms
- What is celebrated
- Shared values
- The people
and more...

@DB_Bahn Sitze im ICE von Hagen nach Stuttgart. Anzeige im Zug "nächster Halt Bremen".

Wenn das kein Bier kostet...

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

Hey @DB_Bahn . Die Anzeige "ggf. reserviert" an den Sitzplätzen ist nicht hilfreich.

Vorschlag: Für jeden nötigen Platzwechsel, weil wieder mal ein Platzreservierer zugestiegen ist, gebt Ihr ein Bier aus.

Passt für Euch?

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@JustAnotherPM This is exactly my job definition. And staying calm is really hard sometimes.

[Holzer @boris__holzer]

@ThePrimeagen You are right. Your way of looking at this extremely important point is excellent. Thank you for educating all the developers in the world - even twice because we didn't get your point after the 1st commandment.
