LOL. Literally, at lunch today, while we were discussing all that we want to try to do the next few evenings, I said that we need a prioritized backlog because we can’t do it all tonight – and whatever we do decide to do tonight we have to be OK putting other things off until tomorrow 😀

Hi Jenny, happy to connect. I just scheduled a little meeting with Nelson, once he’s done with me, if there’s anything left, maybe we can touch base early next week. I have a bit of a window of time here till mid-December where I’m trying to catch up on life before school starts back up (likely Jan 1, but I’ve heard I get access to course…

It’s short notice, but anyone who wants to get their Professional Scrum Master II (PSM2) certification before year end is welcome to join an exam prep class I’m teaching that starts on Tuesday.

No charge to join the class. Of course the exam costs 250USD. Also, you’ll need a little udemy set of practice questions to complete assignments in…

@jen-simpson Ugh, yes. But, the good news is that you can use a separate email address to sign up for your own personal Atlassian test sandbox account – and test out the whiteboard feature there. If you feel it would be helpful, you can then use that information to convince your admin to activate the feature.

Have you heard about Confluence’s new beta Whiteboard capability? Are you interested in testing the feature but can’t figure out how to turn it on?

You’re not alone.

The three main Atlassian pages about the new Whiteboard feature have some really good…

The season’s are changing here in the Midwest, bringing refreshingly cooler temperatures.

Every year our children love an annual outing to a nearby apple orchard and farm. We have a children’s book about a family who lives in a city and takes a day trip to an orchard, and every fall my children begin reading that book and looking forward to…

This story is about transparency. And it very recently happened to me.

We know that transparency is important in Scrum. As a Scrum Master, it’s a value I work to promote within my teams. And the best way to promote a value is to live it out. Yet transparency isn’t always easy.

Case in point.

On Monday, I made a mistake with the guidance I gave to…

Last week I had an onboarding meeting with @tojewunmi . With as busy as I’ve been lately (coaching PSM2, helping a few clients with their website/SEO/ecommerce, working on my degree, etc.) I wasn’t sure I would have time. But, the onboarding meeting didn’t take as long as I was thinking it would take, and it was helpful. I learned a lot…

Hi All, I’m new here – I just listened to Charlene’s talk the other day about creating working agreements (very helpful and worth listening to you if you don’t have experience creating team working agreements (I can post the link if anyone is interested). I then connected with Charlene on LinkedIn and she invited me to join here.
