“Northern #Gaza is being razed to the ground, but the entire Strip is also being bombed. There is no #safe place… for #civilians to take shelter. People are being killed & forcibly displaced from their homes, & water & fuel are running dangerously low. Atrocities are being committed on a scale never before seen….”
@RickiTarr I don’t think I could ever have the courage to have an intimate relationship outside marriage. It’s been a safe space for me. Marriage has been hard. I picked a good one though and we both put a lot of work into it. I can’t imagine raising our kids without each other. #GoodMarriage#Safe#Teamwork
During a press conference Oct. 18, Alberta’s Health minister announced a series of steps to remove barriers to #healthcare access and make the system culturally #safe for Indigenous peoples to use.
Top of the To Do List is establishing a patients’ complaints investigator office supported by Elders.
As Google becomes useless and LLMs regurgitate drivel, I'm looking for Independant minded #Agile Blogs. I'm trying to curate a set of trusted sources that I can recommend to students.
Reading a heartbreaking thread on a local #parenting page about how to teach #children to be afraid of streets, because streets are not #safe.
We do not have to accept--and force our #kids to accept--that #streets are not safe. This is problem created entirely by a mentality that driving is the most sacred use of public space.
IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. We created this problem; it's up to us--not our children--to fix it.
she has #EhlersDanlosSyndrome and is without community. she’s hoping to find people who understand her #medical exhaustion and medical involvement.
would any of you be willing to offer suggestions for instances?
maybe instances where people with physical #disabilities and #autism gather? in a #safe environment, with very tight rules against bullying and extremism?
The #Fediverse has not been #optimized. There is no board driving us to increase #engagement, no matter what kind. As #admin we have some metrics but what we are really fighting for are #Spaces where people can find #connection and maybe some #meaning; people feel #safe and #respected; #creativity#imagination and #humor can flourish. Working for The Man in #tech, he always told us we were making a better world. What we are all making here together is one of the few times that is true.
#SAFe ist ein zusammengeschusterter Haufen aus agilen und klassischen Ansätzen, was dem einzigen Zweck dienen soll: Viele Lizenzen und Kurse zu verkaufen. Dem Management lässt sich das Zeug andrehen und dann ist es eine perfekte Gelddruckmaschine.
Inhaltlich ein Frankensteins Monster aus allem, was andere erarbeitet haben.
Scaled Agile Inc. is amazing. Their marketing strategy and their business model is finely tuned to extract as much money as possible, for as long as possible, from the largest enterprises on Earth, to merely entrench the status quo while also giving the appearance that a change has taken place.
The more I look into private and secure email the more I get slightly overwhelmed with information. There are many options. Before I take the plunge into completely moving my email and going through that hassle I thought it would see if anyone have experience with @protonmail, @fastmail#Skiff#Tunanota or any others.
Thanks in advance and please boost this toot so I can get many different opinions.
After a day out and about, it's good to come home. Life feels most balanced when there's a little of each: adventuring outside one's doors, and then returning to them.
There are many different ways of prioritising tasks. My personal favourite is Weighted Shorted Job First.
By always picking the (weighted) smallest task first you reduce risk and deliver value to the business faster.
In a nutshell, look at all the jobs to do; for each task, estimate the resource investment (no. of people, time) and the price of delaying the task (e.g. decreased revenue). Then divide one by the other, e.g. $100.000 revenue divided by 50 hours, each $100 gives us a value of 20 for an example completely made up task (and salary).
You could also consider including other costs such as SaaS costs, insurance, etc, but simpler is better for the purposes of task prioritisation.
When you do this for all your tasks and sort them by their respective weighted values descending, then you get a prioritised list of how to deliver the most value to your company with the least amount of effort.
My favourite side-effect of WSJF is perfectly illustrated by the comic: The very important but also very large task will never be accomplished, simply because it's too big a task.
When product owners/stakeholders or other decision makers notice that their very important task is never prioritised, simply because is too risky to spend a lot of time on a large task when you can gain a higher combined value from all the smaller tasks, then they start subdividing large tasks into smaller more manageable tasks.
We want smaller tasks, because this reduces risk. Smaller tasks are easier to time estimate. Cost of failure is lower. Many small deliveries shows progress and reduces tendencies to micro-manage the software engineers.
If you can convince your product owners that WSJF is a great way to reduce risk, where they will see steady progress rather than having to wait a long time for a big splash - with all the associated anxiety, then everyone will be happier.
