This isn’t your typical article on management, filled with silly stereotypes and references to cute animals. So, no learning how to soar with the eagles here. More like squabbling with vultures, while picking over the dead carcass of a failed project. Watch out for that viper in the high grass.
In this article, “remote development environments” refer to AWS EC2 instances where engineers make code changes and can see a running Slack
For years, engineers at Slack isolated and tested their changes by running microcosms of the Slack application on their local computers. This was difficult for many reasons: it involved installing and maintaining local dependencies, handling resource intensive software, and writing custom scripts that must work across different operating systems.

In today’s fast-paced business world, agility has become a buzzword everyone discusses. But what does agile mean, and how can we use it to drive project success? This article will explore the concept of continuous improvement in agile methodologies and how it can help teams achieve better results.

Good requirements are the foundation of software development projects. It is more important to “do the right thing” than to “do things right”. The book “So You Want To Be A Scrum Master?” discusses the impact of poor requirements in software development and why people are the main issue.
Agile strategy differs from strategic agility by exclusively focusing on the strategy process and its defining elements.
Incorporating agile principles into corporate strategizing has become increasingly beneficial for many organizations. However, “strategic agility,” which encompasses organization-wide agility, should not be confused with “agile strategy,” which pertains specifically to the strategy process. An agile approach to strategy involves dissecting individual elements of the strategy process, adopting appropriate design principles, and rethinking the role of the strategist.

Agile teams often talk about performance instead of talking about efficiency. We talk about ROI instead of continuous improvement. We emphasize monitoring over support and reporting over team protection. Why don’t we give back agility to software developers?

I’ve had many conversations recently that have me looking at a crucial question that impacts neurodivergent corporate employees and their project managers: how do we understand, encourage, measure, nurture, and assess the career development of neurodivergent people?

The Definition of Done (DoD) is a common understanding within the Scrum team on what it takes to make your software ready to be released. In their book “Managing the Unmanageable”, Mickey Mantle and Ron Lichty propose an extensive list of what a Definition of Done should include. You could use do these elements to create your own DoD for your Agile team.

User stories are a technique taken from the agile development playbook that can easily be applied in traditional systems development and maintenance. User stories help you document needs in a structured way, from the users’ perspective.

A Scrum Master should try to create a culture in which Scrum Teams can thrive. This is a culture that values team success, promotes experimentation, encourages Agile contracts, supports stable team composition, and rewards behavior over achievements. It's up to the Scrum Master to help create such a Scrum-friendly culture.

If the development of open source Scrum tools was in vogue some years ago, a lot of these projects have now been abandoned. Some are still active, but this is because their development is sponsored by a commercial hosted option. There is however an alternative to manage your Agile software development projects if you have a low budget… and a small team. Some providers of commercial Scrum tools provide a free version of their software, often with some limitations.

Most teams I work with have three distinct roles; BA, Developer, and QA. Most teams I work with have three distinct phases of their work; gather requirements, build, verify. Even on agile teams, these separations exist.
This article describes the simple language I use to describe product development: opportunity, output, outcome, and impact. But more importantly it describes the tensions and unexpected implications in the model.

We have all heard of phrases such as “Let’s walk and talk”, “Give me your elevator pitch” or “Let’s get a coffee”. When someone comes up to you and says “let’s get a coffee”, you instinctively know that you are about to have a conversation with this person.

No matter what project you are running, it is essential to ensure your quality assurance (QA) specialists are the perfect fit. However, when it comes to Agile projects using Scrum, there is a need to recruit top-level QA engineers with the right skills to engage effectively during a sprint before anything has been built. It is essential to focus on the must-have soft skills for quality assurance specialists that can help them perform agile testing. This article will provide valuable insights to make the hiring process easier and more cost-effective.
