Your definition of value matters more than your definition of done.

@andybudd I’ve been quoting @KentBeck for years saying your backlog should be a “list of questions, not features.”

Just how often do people mean "in my opinion" when they say "in the real world..."

General rule for meetings: if you know what's going to happen from a meeting, don't have it. Exceptions: meetings which are really broadcast sessions. Hint: In these situations your job is to shut up and listen

“Notice how much time you spend in the three behaviors, actual programming, code study, and various GAK activities. Once you see it yourself, you might want to consider making some changes.” https://t.co/gzQ4RHbMfw

Agile:

• Work small
• Talk to each other
• Make people’s lives better

That’s it. All that other junk is a distraction.

If leadership doesn't see it until it's obvious to everyone else, then how is that leadership? (Isn't that laggership?)

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

People confuse assignment of tasks with planning.

The point of planning is to ensure we are progressing intelligently and transparently toward our goal, yes?
As opposed to making sure everyone has plenty of work to do?

Though I’m not a huge fan of Scrum, this quote from the Nexus guide is right on the mark: "Scaling-down, reducing the number of people who work on something, can be an important practice in delivering more value."

The best way to "scale Agile" is to scale *down*.

You can document your strategy, but your strategy isn't a document.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Insecure people pretend to know things they don't. They dismiss expertise from others.

Secure people admit what they don't know. They defer to expertise in others.

Proactive people take the initiative to learn what they don't know. They acquire expertise from others.
