Sprints instead of marathons!
Shorter Better Faster Stronger

I’m convinced that iterations are like jokes: the shortest are simply the best… Over the years, I had time to notice it. Therefore, in this post, we will explore together certain items that prove the relevance of sticking to realistic, short-term, and high-value objectives in order to produce deliverable increments more frequently.
Mob Programming
The more developers there are…

In Mob Programming, we push the concept of Pair Programming further. This is now a group of developers working on the same task. In short, there is a development team, a room, a large screen and one workstation.

Not seeing what this faux peplum scenario has to offer? Read my post to find out how this activity could be beneficial to your team.
A bug rapidly resolved
Needs to be well handled first!

All developers received at some point bad bug reports. There reports that do not say anything (“It’s not working!”). Other reports make no sense or do not give sufficient information or even information that is false! Bugs may result from negligence of development teams (even though it is sometimes difficult to acknowledge it), users’ awkwardness, software interference, hardware problems…

Let’s attack these problems at their source in my Linkedin post!
Installing an information radiator
What is behind the sticky note?

Even though Scrum Masters or facilitators must be versatile, don’t worry, they do not need any plumbing and heating skills. Though…

Despite sometimes mocking considerations regarding those who agitate the organization by “decorating” walls with a slew of post-its, the need for clear, relevant, yet accessible information is essential.

Let’s talk about indicators in this Linkedin post.
Beware of buses!
About the critical absences

Both Jack and Jill are sick today. They will be absent from work. However, their skills and presence are essential for the team to carry out the last tasks required to deliver the newest edition of the software application.

Does it sound familiar? Does the absence of your colleagues compromise your projects? If so, to what extent? Does success lay on all team members? Do you take the bus? Why? Here is my advice.
