Teams Don’t Need Motivation
They need clarity. #agile
When a team knows the goal, the constraints, and the why —
they run.
When they don’t, you get chaos disguised as “busy.”

Backlogs Should Be 90% Smaller
A backlog is not a dumping ground.
It’s a decision engine.
If you wouldn’t build it in the next 3 sprints, delete it.
If it matters, it will come back. #agile

Agile Isn’t a Religion
You don’t “believe” in Agile.
You use it.
Or you don’t.
It’s a toolkit, not a tattoo.
Delivery is the job.
Agile is just the method.

Daily Standups Should Take 6 Minutes
If your standup is over 6 minutes, you’re running a status meeting — not an alignment ritual.
Keep it sharp.
Keep it relevant.
Kill the noise.

Most delivery problems don’t come from the team. They come from the system around the team.
If your squad can’t ship, don’t coach harder — fix the environment.

Social media wise I’ve given up, slowly removing the putrid puss-filled umbilacal connections to Musk Zuckerberg et al. It’s not what it was, hate, racism & downright 90% rot - is Bluesky the last bastion of hope?
