#5amMesterScrum Show #583 Live - Project Behind Before Start when you hear We can Work Overtime and HR Fail.  In Agile consistent is not OT or weekends - Today's topics: (1) I did the base rate calculation when your boss asks for a few more hours to get a project down or when Project managers say we will do what we have to to get it done on time - both indications the project is miss managed and (2) HR Fail - where team works 7 days / 24 hours and 8 of 10 people leave, they then hire 20 people to replace them.

#5amMesterScrum Show #580 Live - Short-term Coaching Contract Impacts, observations for #HR people  - Today's topics: (1) Getting up early, Dog is tired from getting up and chasing squirrels, my kid earned $ for cutting my hair and all before 8am and (2) A consistent question I got from meeting with all the managers and scrum masters, How long are you going to be here?  I realized these short term coaching engagements are destroying the morale of the organizations.  HR needs to step-up and do at least 6 month contracts.

#5amMesterScrum Show #577 Live - PM Myth Cost & Time Variable Just Annoys the Heck Out of Me - Today's topic: (1) I'm tired of Agile and Project Management people selling this stuff that Cost and Time (schedule) are variable in Project Management and Scope is fixed.  If you believe that two things will happen that is truth (unless the customer is desperate or you have a monopoly) (1) the Customer will not buy from your company and (2) sooner or later you get fired or find a new job.   .

#5amMesterScrum Show #574 Live -  Sleeping in Sucks and so does Delaying Transformations - Today's topics: (1) I realized yesterday that sleeping in sucks.  If I get up early I get 3 hours of quite time vs. like on 1 or 2 hours maybe in the evening, plus people don't ask you to do stuff in the morning (it is all yours) and (2) Delaying Transformations also suck because delaying will never get you there and there is always something happening and filling in that space.
