Ok team, this is not going to be a cheerful good news article. How could it be? Just as we’re having some reasons to be cautiously optimistic virus wise, we’re forced to look at all kinds of other ugly boils we have been hiding and allowing to fester and that […]
(Reposted from the LinkedIn “The Future Is Agile” Newsletter) On paper, Agile teams are best suited for what we all have to face now. If not already remote or distributed, then most prepared to become so without too much faff and fuss. Added to that, existing Agile ceremonies are oftentimes […]
