We talk a lot about Student engagement.

We need to just as much about Teacher engagement.

Teacher engagement leads to better Student engagement.

A peak into our digital workspace. This week, we’re using the Value Proposition Canvas from the #strategyzer series to organize data from our customer interviews. #lean #design #valueproposition #customerfocused

This tweet fits in perfect with a message I’ve seen circulating from Y Combinator to its founders. (See the screen capture) I’m here for it!

[John Miller @agileschools]

It is called Lean.
And what one should have been doing in an upturn as well in order to be resilient in the downturn.

This. I get this. I can do this.

I would amend this statement to read: "the primary function of school is to make self-education easier; failing that, all other functions are beside the point."

“Scrum is a journey into one’s self.” “Consider how the team works as a Whole and how the team and organization form an even greater Whole.” This is the stuff that makes supreme sense to me. Harmonizing with the market, our colleagues, and our work. #thescrumbook #zen

Goal setting for next school year and gathering up wisdom wherever I can find it. https://t.co/9ldyuL2npP is offering so many insights! @AgilixA I’d love to compare notes and see what patterns work best for solving problems in the high-school classroom.

[Sydney Buckner @SchoolOfScrum]

Reading about #scrum #PLoP patterns and learning about high-performing scrum teams in a variety of contexts. What a great book! #scrumpatterns

After finishing #FounderBrand, I finished my goal of posting to LinkedIn and Twitter everyday. Blitzing the algorithms and re-energizing my followers. Plus I gained a couple too. Now it’s time to step back, and strategize. Slow down now, to speed up growth later.

Slow is fast and fast is slow. #IYKYK

@agileschools Love this example. Definitely going to try out the Jobs to be Done framework in the class and with my passion projects. Thanks for the help!

My favorite part, at the moment, about customer interviews is capturing their voices, language and personalities using #sketchnotes. Though, I’ll be honest, I could use some help structuring the interviews to uncover the most useful information. #servicedesign #designthinking

[John Miller @agileschools]

@SchoolOfScrum Talk and observe users.
What are they trying to accomplish?
What friction points do they have in pursuing a goal?

I am a big fan of Jobs To Be Done to help understand this.

[Sydney Buckner @SchoolOfScrum]

Love this thread!

[Laura Tacho 🌮 @rhein_wein]

Scheduling your team at 100% capacity is a great way to ensure that nothing will be delivered on time.

[Sydney Buckner @SchoolOfScrum]

Iterating my #leancanvas today on my lunch break. This weekend, I was fretting - ‘cause I decided to grow an audience without a finding product that brings value to people. Today I found some solace in #runninglean. There’s so much value in building an audience to test fit with!

Oh man! I really dig this triple-A principle!

[Tim Ottinger @tottinge]

The triple-A principle:

The difference between
Autonomy
and
Anarchy
is
Alignment.

[Sydney Buckner @SchoolOfScrum]

@tottinge @RichRogers_ It was refreshing to read this thread on twitter! I saw it on LinkedIn yesterday and felt... icky. Especially since I’m a newbie to the agile discourse — it was tough to see the competitive language and posturing that exists in the “scrum chamber of horrors”
