Practice being really present in every conversation – not cutting the other person off or jumping in to finish off what you think they’re going to say, but really listening and responding in a measured and thoughtful way


If it’s not tested it’s not DONE! It’s simple.


Every time I see “We plan to launch our MVP in…” I sigh… mvps are not to be launched, they serve to learn and decide the next little step to understand what is viable… #mvp #product #experiment


👇🏽Something to consider 📖 “Don’t read books, study them” 🧠 Most books I read are non-fiction, the objective is to learn, gather new knowledge and apply… so it really makes sense to study the book rather than simply reading it… #book #reading #knowledge #study


3 traits of a good mentor 👥 Rapport - ability to understand others feelings, ideas and communicate well 👂🏼Listening - ability to listen without judgement ❓Questioning - ability to question and challenge effectively #mentor #mentoring


People that I used to admire in the agile world used to be about sharing insightful knowledge, now all they seem to do is point out the bad in everything… all this for the sake of likes?

Coaching VS Mentoring A coach has great questions to your answers, a mentor has great answers to your questions. #mentoring #mentor #coach #coaching


My best advice for Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches - educate yourselves in how businesses work, learn a bit of marketing, engineering practices, sales, product discovery. Business acumen is highly appreciated by leaders. Thank me later #business #agile #scrum #marketing


As a leader I don’t encourage for failure, but I make my teams know that failure is a possible scenario and is accepted as long as we can learn something from it #team #teamperformance #success


What really matters for your product at the end of day, more than how excellent your engineering practices and metrics may look like, is: A)do they like it? B) are people using it? C)are people willing to pay for it? D)do people keep buying it from you? #metrics #product


It’s an unpopular opinion but I believe that a Scrum Master effectiveness comes from they knowing the domain the team operates, if not, it’s hard for them for being taken seriously… #scrum #scrumaster #agile


Let's stop shoe-horn everything into User Stories. "As a Developer I want to upgrade the DB to version x.x so that <someNonSenseReason>" is not only waste but also lacking complete sense of who are the target users of the product. #agile #scrum


My advice (inspired by K.Beck) for teams trying to be “#agile” 1- Make it work 2- Make it right 3-Make it fast 4-Repeat


Doesn’t make sense starting an #agile #transformation from the end, #tech products start getting “created” way before a single line of code is written. #Software #business


I feel for those involved in large scale agile transformation initiatives… so much money, time and effort wasted for nothing…


All the sudden professionals that taught and vouched for story points estimation are shouting that SPs are evil and flow metrics is the right thing… total rubbish IMO, I see value in both, yes both at the same time. Flow metrics AND SPs #agile #scrum #kanban

Do testers have place in a team using Scrum? Many teams have a tester that is preventing speed of delivery and scaling quality. So what do we do? Ditch them? medium.com/agile-being/te…

Testers have no place in a Scrum team…

It bothers me that #scrummasters still use the word ceremonies to refer to working sessions, I disliked the word even when it was still included in the #scrumguide... Events is better but still....
