Workflows That Work: Bring Order, Focus, and Flow to Your Delivery

Workflows That Work don’t just happen. They’re designed—with clarity, intention, and a deep understanding of how value actually flows through a team. But let’s be honest. Too often, the workflow boards I see in software and digital product teams feel more like a visual mess than a helpful tool. Tickets pile up in ambiguous columns, blocked work is buried under layers of “in progress” confusion,…

Urgency Versus Importance - Which Drives Your Work, Teams And Why We Need Them, Conversations with Jeremy Willets and Jeremy Berriault, SPaMCAST 822

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 822 features a discussion that Jeremy Willets and I had during the Work Intake Summer Camp. The tyranny of the urgent often eclipses work that is merely important. Not understanding the difference between the two concepts and the long-term implications of ignoring what is important can be catastrophic.  We will also have a visit from Jeremy Berriault,…

Does Your Team Show Up or Amp Up?

Former NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner’s life story is depicted in the movie “American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story”. One of the most poignant scenes is when he was cut unceremoniously by the Green Bay Packers. After four years of being undrafted, he finally got his shot with the Green Bay Packers. At his first training camp, he was awestruck that he had finally made it. He was so…

Well this hella sounds like their other statement, from months ago, just before their huge layoff. They even used some of the same words and phrasings. Really this doesn’t sound too good for bioware in general 🥲

I love him so many 💖 @lloonlloon look at my boy go!

I came into the weekend hoping at best Roland would be willing to try a couple obstacles and it would be great experience for both of us, but as always my little man was willing to go well beyond my expectations. he is the best little dog in the world and I’m so lucky to have him with me 🥺

I think I have Aayla's retirement plan solidified for obedience and rally. I've spent a lot of time talking with friends and I really think it's time.

She is starting to appear a little more stiff in the mornings and is starting to struggle more and more with weird phases of utility.

AKC

Aayla is entered in a trial in two weeks for UB/OB, if she does very very well I may try and finish the year out to see if she can get her UDX. Yet I would expect her to have a utility Q rate of higher than 50% so that means over the next two weeks she needs to Q 3/5 times she has between this weekend and in two weeks. If she doesn't, then she is retired from AKC obedience and I will not enter her again.

I will then start entering her in rally only to get her RACH. She needs 9 more 3Qs, and she should be able to get that by May of next year. Then she will be retired from AKC rally. She really loves rally and I don't mind doing rally longer with her.

ASCA

I have a trial this weekend and then nationals planned. Aayla will most likely get her OTCh at a pretrial at nationals and compete in utility finals as her last obedience finals. I will not continue on to Superdog next year. After that I will not long travel for any obedience and we will only compete locally at her home training ring until she gets her UDX, then she will be 100% retired from obedience.

Aayla will continue in Rally until she gets her RTCH title. Depending on how she is doing I may be trying to qualify for rally finals next year, if we get in we will attend nationals for one last time for Rally and maybe Nosework/tracking. Then she will be retired from ASCA Rally.

----

All of these are the longest she will go in these sports. I am prepared to retire her sooner if needed. We have Nosework to pick up and I hope to find someone to help with tracking.

She loves training and working still and it's breaking my heart that it's her body that is slowing her down.

Plan Smarter, Deliver Better: The Secret Behind Confident Forecasting

Confident forecasting starts with something surprisingly simple: knowing how much work your team can actually take on. In fast-moving environments where teams work in iterations—be it Scrum sprints, Kanban cadences, or just regular check-ins—it’s tempting to dive headfirst into tasks without stopping to think about capacity. But that often leads to overcommitment, missed deadlines, and…

For four days and four nights tumblr user cosmik-homo watched a dog show ardently. And on the dawn of the fifth day she awoke, confused, from a death gate themed dream, going, huh.

i have so much fun with ffxiv bc like. me and my friends that play have a wol team and we roleplay tons when we're able to all be on at the same time

sure it takes forever to actually progress bc we're all having hours-long scenes after story events to work out the impact on everyone and, in some cases, who was impacted more than the others (like thorgeim being the one who got framed during that one incident, whereas the dragoon wol had a lot of specific stuff during heavensward, etc)

i'm told there's some shit later on that Complicates the wol-team idea but i don't want spoilers and i'm confident we can work it out when we get there so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For as easy as Moxie is to live with, she doesn't tolerate repetition well which makes her a difficult agility dog to train. I've spent the last month juggling with the idea of pulling her from agility and seeing if we can find something else she likes better while also seeing if I can break agility down into something she can mentally handle. And I think tonight I found that with her.

We did some fantastic short sequences with lots of great attention as well as working on dog walk which she really liked! She doesn't like weaves and they have been very difficult to introduce to her but I feel like we are slowly chipping away with it now that I have put in a minimum amount of repetitions in place and have figured out a way to loop it that prevents her from getting distracted while also not triggering her dislike for collar grabs.

I didn't get her expecting that Ever would surpass her in skills so soon, but Ever is a dog that will make me a better handler while Moxie is the dog that will make me the better trainer.
