#Agile leaders have responsibility for operating a self-organizing infrastructure, an OS of sorts, so teams can be successful with limited oversight. They’re responsbile for a transparent and collaborative work environment where teams can create value without impediments.
Chaired the session on Artifacts at #ICPC20 conf.researchr.org/home/icpc-2020. We had great talks and discussions. Congraturations to all speakers and participants! Also our thanks go to the virtualization/organizing teams and student volunteers.
I spent much of this past week reading the Federalists Papers, the US Constitution, and it’s 27 Amendments. If you’re even semi-literate, you’ll know that independence and freedom have nothing to do with hating and fighting your fellow citizens.
Thank you Jeff; right on. I work with some “agile” teams that are are so myopic they see no value in sharing their retrospectives. Seems some people think that you have to abandon organizational identity for team identity. They should remember where their paycheck comes from.

To get value from being #agile, trust the team to estimate the work. No one else knows what it's going to take. p.s. after you've ignored this and failed, try really trusting the team again.
I made Federal News Network! Whooo hooo! #CMMC federalnewsnetwork.com/reporters-note…
A must read for any organization that wants to be truly Agile, or those organizations that think they are (but are not)! You cannot scale Agile, you can only scale self-organization.
