Doing a year-end retrospective on our transition from "scrummish" to lean project management, and the response is overwhelmingly positive.
It's encouraging how stakeholders across the company are so tuned in to how we're operating and are game for more.

About a year ago I left a comfy job to join a late stage startup.
To say there have been ups and downs over that year would be an understatement but I haven't filled or approved one single timesheet in that time and so I have no regrets.

Hey bluesky, glad I finally got an invite (thanks @lockhead.bsky.social ). I couldn't take the other place anymore.
Thought for the day: too many devs deploy their app to prod at the end of a project. It's better to deploy at the start of a project, day one if possible!
