A while ago,ย Markus Eggers – Google+ started following me on G+, so I found out about his posts: most of them refer to very useful agility related ones.
So my reading list just got a bit longer, with tuples onย Markus Eggers – Google+ย and where it points to.

I need to give this some thought: [WayBack] Stop Time Tracking, Start Value Tracking โ Agility Scales, viaย [WayBack] โMost people that I know would rather feel they are getting paid for value. But can we make that value measurable and visible? Letโs try!โ – Marjan Venema – Google+.
Time tracking is a pain, but value tracking could be fun!

Pragmatism is possibly one of those words youโve heard 1000 times and feel confident you know what it means. I did. On the surface, it seems like a straightforward concept. The definition is simple: Pragmatism /โpraษกmษtษชz(ษ)m/ (noun) : an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application. The philosophy lies at the heart of many aspects of agile. Think about it, empiricism is deeply tied to pragmatism.

Still a very good (Dutch) read by mentor (not only Agile, also DCI and Marching) Robby Overvliet [WayBack/Archive.is] Go pick a leaf of that tree!:
Ben jij Agile? Weet je het zeker? Tuurlijk het whiteboard hangt en de stickies schuiven vrolijk van links naar rechts. Dagelijks is daar netjes de standup en andere feedback loops doen hun ding.

[WayBack] TEDx Kaunas, 19 November 2017 – Lisette Sutherland:
โRemote workers arenโt trying to escape doing work. Weโre trying to escape the Day Prison. We want to use technology to make better use of our time. We want to spend more time on things that matter to us and less time stuck in traffic.โ

A while ago, over some period of time, I found a few related posts on being efficient optimising time management, on both professional and personal levels. Fully going the “optiomal” usually isn’t that a good thing.
Basically, you need slack or idle time. Plenty of it. That improves your agility too.

Sometimes you are stuck. Then this often helps, even outside the music industry:
[WayBack] Oblique strategies – defeat creative block:ย Draw random Oblique Strategy cards to break through creative block.
These are disruptive which is the whole point being stuck.
Obey the first and only rule: pick the first card and apply what it says.
Both above failures kill the randomness of the above strategy.
More on them atย [WayBack] Oblique Strategies – Wikipedia

From a while back, but still one of the easiest flow charts to see if your organisation really works in an agile way: “graphical flow chart for separating agile from agile BS”
It is part of [WayBack]ย DIB_DETECTING_AGILE_BS_2018.10.05.pdf (hey, it is military so there are dates and abbreviations).
