054 Ownership by Team and PO
November 08, 2018 03:42 - 10.6 MBDhaval: Here's what I liked is that at the end today's class, we were talking about the fact that competitor analysis is added as another product backlog item for the team to actually go and investigate on their own and take more ownership of the product, which is contrary in some respects. And you should correct me on this Bas. The post 054 Ownership by Team and PO first appeared on Agile Noir.

June 27, 2018 20:24 - 3 minutes - 4.03 MBIn the pre-guttenberg days, printing the Bible was done by teams of monks with a lot of hand crafted labor—even the paper and ink had to be made.

[whawha wha..] Well, there are flying cars but none mass produced. Why not? Are We developers and we managers part of the reason why we still don't have such nice things? Is the low quality track record of IT to blame? Must we be used getting patches, and upon installation, hoping this new version doesn't make things worse? The post 009 Introducin...
