May 05, 2023A Formula For Trust: Sincerity, Competence, and Consistency
Sincerity is the virtue of one who communicates and acts in accordance with the entirety of their feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and desires in a manner that is honest and genuine. It’s the quality of being free from pretense, deceit, or hypocrisy.

Competence is the ability to do something successfully or efficiently. the quality or state of having sufficient knowledge, judgment, skill, or strength. The NIH Office of Human Resources describes the difference between competencies and skills as: “Competencies are the knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors that contribute to individual and organizational performance. Knowledge is information developed or learned through experience, study, or investigation. Skill is the result of repeatedly applying knowledge or ability.”

Character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. Your character is your personality, especially how reliable and honest you are.

April 26, 2023 How Are Agile Retrospectives Like Jedi Councils?
How Are Agile Retrospectives Like Jedi Councils?

Jedi Council meetings and Agile retrospectives share similarities in their purpose and structure as gatherings designed to reflect on progress, identify areas for improvement, and plan for the future. Let’s explore these concepts in more detail.
Jedi Council meetings:
In the Star Wars universe, the Jedi Council is an assembly of experienced Jedi Masters who are responsible for guiding the Jedi Order and making critical decisions. They regularly convene to discuss the state of the galaxy, assess current situations, and determine the appropriate course of action. These meetings often involve reflecting on past events, addressing challenges, and strategizing for the future.
Agile retrospectives:
In Agile software development, retrospectives are regular meetings held by Agile teams to reflect on their recent work and identify areas for improvement. During retrospectives, team members discuss what went well, what could be improved, and what actions they should take to enhance their performance in the next iteration. The focus is on continuous improvement, learning, and adapting to change.

April 25, 2023Agile Estimation Techniques - What NOT To Do...
Agile Estimation Techniques - What NOT To Do...
Relative estimation is a technique that involves assigning a relative size to each item in the product backlog. This approach does not rely on specific units of measurement, such as hours or days, but instead compares each item to others in terms of relative complexity, effort, or risk. The most commonly used method for relative estimation is called the Fibonacci sequence, which assigns a sequence of numbers to represent the relative size of each item.

Planning poker is a game-like technique that involves the entire team in estimating the relative size of each item in the product backlog. In planning poker, each team member is given a set of cards with numbers that represent the relative size of each item. The team then discusses the item and each member chooses a card that represents their estimate. The estimates are then shared, and any discrepancies are discussed until a consensus is reached.

Wideband Delphi is a technique that involves a facilitator who solicits anonymous estimates from team members, compiles them, and shares them with the group for discussion. This approach helps to prevent bias and encourages more honest and accurate estimates. The facilitator then guides the team in a discussion to reach a consensus estimate for each item.
DON'T USE A NUMBER!!
