This is actually true, most people skip over the daily incantation and sacrifice, and that's the ritual that really makes SAFe work. xitter.cf/NotMyAgile/status/1677…
If SAFe isn’t working for you, it is because you are doing it wrong. #NotMyAgile

"Great teams are brilliant at experimentation, which is the core of problem discovery. Let them work to solve the problems you bring them & you show them you respect their thinking. You might just end up with something brilliant." @johannarothman / @antz29 well.tc/i4uf

Agile really needs to break the drug of platitudinous statements about how things should be, based on ideal ‘stories’. Instead start to use methods & processes that recognise reality then institute micro-nudges in the right direction

😢 R.I.P. Fred Brooks was the author of "The Mythical Man Month" a book that was hugely influential on so many of us. Also his paper "No Silver Bullet" would be on most people's shortlist of most influential papers.

Just a reminder that all bug prioritisation schemes in practice degenerate to three scheduling categories: do it now, do it later, never do it. If you have a numbered system with many priority levels, what you actually have is a bureaucratic system of denial.

SHOCKED AND DISGUSTED WITH ALBASTAR AIRLINES - told me I should wear a nappy on board as I’m disabled and they don’t have an aisle chair. This is what I had to resort to. Please share - This isn’t acceptable!!! #disabled #wheelchair #AlbastarAirlines

There is no such thing as a backend story or a frontend story. Stories are not a code word for "a bit of work." They describe problems, not solutions. A story is not complete until that problem is solved (by completing both the back and front ends).
