Well. Better start saving then…

Both can be right at the same time

People who do this are heroes!

I fully appreciate people who put themselves out like this, especially in subjects which don’t necessarily have a wider reach.

Thank you all, no matter your accent.

A bit like pen island?

This feels like a winning strategy

He planted the seeds of disaster then ran for the hills.

I went for a trip to their headquarters and tried on a bunch of their watches before getting a twelve. They didn’t show off that dial though otherwise I may have been tempted with a diver, although I was looking for a watch for the office - hence the twelve.

Just too early for their office diver as the wife won’t allow me to buy two within a month.

That ended much better than initially anticipated. Thanks.

… for now.

Moving the needle is so satisfying

Thanks for the education, and no worries! We all get a bit cranky sometimes.

Off to do some research!

You are correct in the first part. It’s always good to learn things. Do you have anything to teach?

Less Delta-V to eject them from the solar system.

Something something social vampirism?

Yeah. I bet he wasn’t looking for a Boeing maintenance video.

They’re deadly serious. And don’t call them Shirley

I fully agree. It’s supposed to be the scrum masters job to keep that away from the devs so that they can focus.

Management and other stakeholders are also supposed to be in agreement on both the agile method, and also the book of work for the sprint.

Obviously, if some priority changes mid sprint which is important, the team can agree to pick it up at the expense of agreed upon deliverables

Yes. Yes it is. Well, sort of… Basically it’s getting a physical deliverable out of the door in a set time frame. Your team agrees that they can do all the work to bring a feature, x, up to spec and out of the door in (usually) two week increments.

However, that requires some caveats. The work is agreed upon by all parties that it’s doable - including testing, debugging and deploying. No other work (with the exception of fires etc) is to be introduced to the team in that period. All the dependencies have been highlighted and accounted for. There is a solid, agreed upon definition of done.

However, corpos don’t follow this
