  • YDS: Do Scrum Teams Track Individual Story Points?

    Todd and Ryan think that tracking individual story points in Dev supervision is a major problem and a red flag. They believe it is a reckless metric that can impact people's behavior and pit teammates against each other. Ryan cites a book, "Escape Velocity" by Doc Norton, which argues that measuring individual velocity fails to give a complete picture and likely gives the wrong impression. It also hides things and can provoke behaviors that are against teamwork. Todd thinks tracking individual story points could lead to fights and is a massive issue that should be avoided.

  • Book Review: Jimmy Carr Before and Laughter

    BOOK REVIEW: This week's book is Before and Laughter - A Life-Changing Book by Jimmy Carr.

    ⏩ Before and Laughter on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3GW3VJW

    In my latest book review, I want to share my thoughts on Jimmy Carr's "Before and Laughter." As many of you may already know, Jimmy Carr is a well-known comedian from the United Kingdom, known for his edgy and sometimes offensive style of comedy. If you go and check out his comedy specials on YouTube, you will likely come across some offensive material.

    However, despite this, I enjoyed his book and found many parallels between the themes in the book and the role of a Scrum Master or Agile Coach. The book is essentially a self-help life story following Jimmy Carr's journey in comedy, but it contains a wealth of insights and wisdom that I found applicable in my role as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach. One of the key themes in the book is the idea of holding strong beliefs loosely.

    Jimmy Carr notes that it's essential to have a line in the sand but to be flexible and to be able to adapt to changing situations. This is a valuable lesson for those in leadership roles, as the ability to adapt is a core human skill crucial to success. Another theme in the book is the importance of being a specialist. Jimmy Carr talks about how you need to bring something different to the table to be successful, whether in the workplace or the marketplace. He notes that you need a unique perspective and voice to stand out and resonate with others. This is something I found especially relevant as a Scrum Master, as I always try new ways to serve and help my team.

    One of the other things I appreciated about the book is that Jimmy Carr doesn't have any heroes. He notes that learning from those you admire is essential, not to worship them and eventually grow past them. This is a valuable message for all of us, as it's easy to get caught up in idolizing others, but actual growth and success come from learning from those you admire and then moving on to create something new.

    Overall, I found "Before and Laughter" to be a great read with many valuable insights for anyone in a leadership or coaching role. Despite the book containing offensive material, if you can look past it, you may find a lot of helpful advice and wisdom. Please let me know your thoughts on the book or any other book you have recently read in the comments section below.
