Adaptive budgeting fuels agility, rigid budgets build walls when you need bridges. Recent insights show 50% of leaders aren’t fully prepared for external shocks (McKinsey).

@certfun_com hi I purchased the acp120 exam through your website under [email protected] and I still haven't received even though it's been hours. Are you able to assist?

A year ago today, I kicked off a fintech client's Agile journey with an intensive cross-functional workshop. We focused on one value stream, dramatically reducing time to market from 12 months to just 10 weeks after the first PI. #AgileSuccess #FintechTransformation #RealStories

Wow, I'm absolutely blown away by your shoutout – thank you so much Fiona Chalk and @AimeeDewitt! The Vodafone Agile Conference was truly an incredible experience, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share M-Pesa Africa's success story of their People…https://t.co/x2fsZBiyiF

Exploring opportunities with @renderforestcom. Already started to use the free version and it looks fab! Definitely going for an upgrade!

After x3 years of transformation work at M-pesa Africa, I'm so proud to be here at the HR Excellence Awards 2022 with my friends and colleagues. Just to be nominated is huge and can't wait to see what's next. HR is the driver for Business Agility #hrex22 #agility #SAFe

So it has been a busy week for me personally. My family and I have finally moved into our lovely new home, which has taken over 2.5 years to restore and renovate due to Covid challenges. There has been lots of last-minute cleaning,…https://t.co/vUAXcFm4Ed https://t.co/DNp1YInsRa

Early start to Paddington this morning. After two years of hard work, we have now launched our new target operating model. First steps of the launch is to kick start our SAFe Portfolio process through Participatory Budgeting. We no longer fund projects, we fund value streams👍🙌

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

@ScaledAgile hi there, trying to access and login to the safe summit platform from the UK so that I can select my agenda. Unfortunately the platform seems to be non-responsive for me and multiple other colleagues - is the site down?

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

It felt really good to meet up with Ishy Bansal and @7Northfield over the last couple of days. So excited for the things that are yet to come. Over the next few months we'll be launching the SAFe portfolio level and taking another step closer to Business Agility! #safe5 #agility

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

Great to finally meet back up with @7Northfield & Ishy Bansal. I've missed both post it notes, whiteboards & how great it is to collaborate in the same room. Lots of work still to achieve for our client with the challenge of extending their SAFe transformation to the Portfolio 😁

So this week has seen the launch of x2 Agile Release trains and we have now trained over 190 people. After x2 completed PI Planning events, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas #safe #Scaledagile #piplanning #remoteworking #needabetterhat #santa

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

Awesome

[Michael Stump @michael_p_stump]

Thanks @Rentouch for adding this really helpful and cool "Capacity Allocation" Feature to the @piplanning . This will help a lot of Teams and Leaders to keep an eye on the capacity allocation during the PI and in each Iteration

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

@piplanning is there anything wrong with the PI planning app? Currently trying to login and it seems to be timing out

[Richard Powell @theLeanKid]

These are very strange times we're living in. We are all having to adapt one way or another. Great to see that @ScaledAgile have responded to SPCs like myself to deliver training remotely.
