Accountability is not about blame but ownership. When teams take responsibility, they build trust, strengthen collaboration, and move forward with confidence. #Teamwork #Scrum #Agile

Scrum teams are often invisible heroes. But heroes who don’t tell their story don’t get celebrated; they get taken for granted. #Scrum #Team #Agile #Appreciation

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.

NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.

NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.

NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”

Work done != value delivered. Appreciation sticks when tied to outcomes aka "You reduced support calls by 20% with self-service." #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

Just invented a new app to help you deal with annoying coworkers. It's not so much an app as it is a toaster on a bike chain that you swing around your head

I got a thoughtful reply on one of my posts: we’re in a transition phase where LLMs cover 80% of the work, and once the last 20% is solved, we’ll just be writing apps in natural language instead of code.

It’s a smart take—and it’s also something I hear a lot.

Don’t underestimate the power of a small celebration. A coffee, a shoutout, a message. Scrum teams thrive when their impact is seen and appreciated. #AgileLeadership #Agile #Team #Appreciation

Retros aren’t just for improvement; they’re for gratitude. This week’s theme: thank a teammate. Peer appreciation to manager praise. #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

If there’s one thing that definitely works it’s mandating culture from the top down. And if you don’t believe that, well, I’m ordering you to

A good sprint isn’t just about velocity; it’s about outcomes. e.g. huge thanks to the team for X and the impact on the customers and the bottom line for any work done! #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation

The best part of sprint reviews? Celebrating how the team’s work changes lives, not just systems. #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation #Review

... have you ever been stuck at Heswall Station, waiting for a connection? At least he's not stuck in Bidston.

If you have functioning organ systems, you are *detoxing* all day. Every day.

Liver
Kidneys
Lungs
GI tract

You’re all good, boo.

Stop buying into conspiracies and claims from wellness profiteers who don’t know basic science.

It really shows how broken some hiring practices have become. Automated systems fire off rejections long after the process (and the candidate’s interest) has expired; by then, it’s meaningless.

A timely “yes” or “no” isn’t just courtesy but a basic respect for people’s time. #BahHumbug

Well. Just got a rejection today; for a job I apparently applied for 8 months ago. At this stage I can’t remember the role, the company, or even why I applied in the first place. Thanks for closing the loop and getting back to me, I guess?

Shoutout to the team - not just for closing items, but for delivering real value this sprint and looking at the impact. #Scrum #Agile #Team #Appreciation
