When your Sprint is at capacity, you don’t add a task without removing another.

When you’re at capacity, you should do the same.

Common mistakes of project managers:

- Overemphasizing either goals or systems (instead of balancing both)
- Overworking without purpose (instead of solely working on what’s important)
- Overmeasuring things unnecessarily (instead of solely measuring what’s relevant)

When your browser is overwhelmed, you close tabs.

When your computer is overwhelmed, you force-quit apps.

When you’re overwhelmed, put less on your plate — just like you do with your technology.

Maximize incentives by being specific and targeted:

- Read more books.
- Read “Atomic Habits” and “The Elements of Scrum” by next month.

Notice the difference?

Bonus points if you set SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable, time-bound) goals.

How to ensure nothing falls through the cracks anymore:

- Create a matrix with service areas on the vertical axis & team members on the horizontal axis.
- Determine responsibility (R), accountability (A), consulted (C), and informed (I) for each segment.

How to deliver excellent #customerservice:
- Figure out what they value and deliver it to them.
- Don’t deliver things they don’t value.

You wouldn’t use euros to pay in a store that only accepts dollars.

Just because you #value something doesn’t mean your customers do.

How to eliminate your company newsletter:
- Share the workspace(s) your teams are working in already.
- Invite everyone to inspect the status of projects in real-time.

No need for a newsletter when its content can be examined anytime without extra effort.
