NEWS, TIPS & TRICKS FROM OUR COMMUNITY & BEYOND

The quest for high-performance in teams that led to a meteoric rise of Agile adoption pre-covid, is even more relevant in today’s post pandemic shake up of business.
Most Roadmaps Are an Orchestrated Delusion Meant To Preserve The Illusion of Control
The careful planning of work flies in the face of agility - of “Responding to change over following a plan”. So why do we do them, and is there a better way?
How To Run a Sprint Review, Online?
Crucial for garnering product feedback and direction, the sprint review is vital. Here’s how, despite the challenges, the event can be run online successfully.
Do Chance Meetings at the Office Boost Innovation? There’s No Evidence of It.
Yahoo, in 2013, famously banned working from home citing lack of opportunities for innovation. With the recent shift to remote working, the debate is as prevalent as ever.
