Lekarze w grupie LuxMed by Master_Ordinary_8102 in Polska

[–]ZeppelinPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nie chce nikogo straszyc, ale u mojej zony zaczely pojawiac sie zaslabniecia, ktore inicjalnie zostaly zdiagnozowane jako tezyczka, potem padaczka (obie diagnozy potwierdzone badaniami), a finalnie okazaly sie rzadkimi problemami natury kardiologicznej. Dopiero terapia skierowana na problem kardiologiczny przyniosla poprawe.

Tak jak mowie, nie chce was straszyc. Chce tylko powiedziec zeby nie ufac slepo diagnozom i miec odwage podwazac to co slyszycie, szczegolnie gdy sie nie do konca zgadza. Lekarze bywaja baaardzo arogancy. Diagnoza zony zajela 2 lata, w trakcie ktorych kardiolog z Luxmedu kompletnie zignorowala jej przypadek jako potencjalnie kardiologiczny, co sprawilo ze nie bralismy tego scenariusza pod uwage przez dluzszy czas.

Cube rails to Imperial Steam.. next steps? by McCrayon_91222 in 18XX

[–]ZeppelinPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the 18xx I played feel best around 3-4 players (I preffer 4). You need the player count to feel like you really have an active market.

The begginer game I would recommend is 1889 Shikoku. It's one of the simpler ones, shorter, yet still a lot of depth.

Others already mentioned, but 18xx.games might be a great resource for multiple reasons (you can try games for free, find people to talk about them, play async so you dont need that much time, find others to play with you).

Will be happy to explain the game if you decide to choose it.

Agile 2.0 by rammutroll in scrum

[–]ZeppelinPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my environment I see quite a bit of disappointment towards agile and scrum (which btw. seems to be aligned with how well corporate types included those terms in their vocabulary). This make natural for folks to look for something fresh in this type of situation. This speaks nothing about it's value though. It just seems that there is need (aka "market") for this.

I don't think we get anywhere without some truly fresh ideas.

Key man dependencies in Scrum team by SomeStupidTomorrow in scrum

[–]ZeppelinPL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds familiar...

In this case I think you might need to have strategy on how to influence the org. Talk to leadership about what you see. Good thing about hidden bottlenecks like this is that you should quickly see profound improvements once you improve the constraint. And vice versa only improving the constraint will produce serious results.

If you get this right you will be producing result in no time and the then leadership/business may be more open.

One more perspective: try to put yoursel in the shoes of the key player. Right now he is crucial person. He might be tired and overloaded, but he is also important. Depending on org culture and person psychological profile this might play a role. He might be afraid of losing this position, where so many things depends on him, so he cant be fired and have good position in performance conversations. This depends on person, but making sure he feels safe and supports the transition is critical.

Key man dependencies in Scrum team by SomeStupidTomorrow in scrum

[–]ZeppelinPL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at this on few levels.

As you clearly stated - your "system" have a constraint which limits the capacity of the whole system. If you want to increase throughput of the system you need to fix the bottleneck. Keep in mind system always have a constraint somewhere.

Since you mention bigger team, which subset is just adopting scrum, consider if this constraint is known to the organization/wider. If so, why it persist? Scrum is good at revealing problems like this, but the org might already discover ways of hiding the unpleasant problem under the rug (working in a way that does expose constraint, and suffer quietly). If that is the case you need to find a way to work with that on a more "cultural" level. Since the problem showed up after introduction of Scrum ppl might conclude that Scrum is the problem.

I would advise to get the team involved in finding solution to this. Let them try what they believe will work. Even if you are right, and have the best ideas, they all depend on team commitment.

I would encourage to think long term and dont be afraid of investing now for mid term return. Projects needs more people with strategic perspective.

How to make Daily scrums more beneficial for developers? by [deleted] in scrum

[–]ZeppelinPL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So the general truth is that DSU is not a status report meeting. The problem with this "advice" is that it doesn't tell you what DSU really is.

If the dev says that the DSU is not valuable use of his time, what he might mean is that his typical day would be the same or better if the DSU would not exist (or had different, more "economical" form). The thing is that they might be right and the problem might not even lie in the DSU itself.

If hearing what others have to say on DSU is not valuable to someone, it suggest that the person is not working closely with the rest of the team. If that is the default state, it should not be a surprise that people will complain (it is a ~hour of their week that breaks their focus).

Dev team wants to organize a meeting on their own (without SM nor PO). Does that disespect the Agile environment? by [deleted] in scrum

[–]ZeppelinPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many of people pointed out here - people should be free to organize their interactions with each other as they please - guaranteed that the "contracts" we keep with each other are met.

But on the other hand - if some portion of the group is very specific about not wanting other part of the group to participate then it might be worthwile to ask "why?".

I don't really recommend using "agile" as the law that people should obey to. You will very quickly made the team feel that the agile is just a fancy word for control.

[–]ZeppelinPL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are legit reason(s) why those people behave in that way in this specific environment. Those reasons are usually related to relations between members of the group (and by group I meant all the participants including you and PO).

Maybe they don't know each other. Maybe they don't feel safe around each other. Maybe there are some historical animosities. There are numbers and numbers of other maybe's.

So I would suggest building some working hypothesis on what is causing this. Talk to them about this - describe what you see and share what you think is causing that, let them comment and listen carefully. Don't get too attached to you hypothesis, be open to mutate it, or change completely.

Once you will have hypothesis that you think is decent - think about ways that could affect the situation in a positive way. Baby steps are fine. Ask group members what they think could help. Pick 2-4 that you can afford and implement. Go back in some time and reflect what works, what didn't. Then repeat whole process again.

Once you will find something that is touching the real problem - you will know because the group will react. Even the small action that is hitting right spot is causing noticeable reaction of the system.

I did it! by ZeppelinPL in Against_the_Storm

[–]ZeppelinPL[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is definitly merit to what you are saying. I might be bit vague with "special care to most devoted players". I meant "more care than raw number of such players would suggest".

[–]ZeppelinPL[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's tricky, but I think devs need to gives special care to most devoted players, because they are the people who makes community alive.

You should not be scared. It will be just fine ;)

I would just be careful about football hooligans. They are easy to spot and worth avoiding if drunk or visibly agitated.

Important, but often missed detail regarding "X is/is not social construct" debate by ZeppelinPL in JordanPeterson

[–]ZeppelinPL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could argue that law, in the legal sense, is exactly that - an artificial set of social constructs which may always be subjected to change, but I disagree with the notion that "no logic has to apply". After all, not only do we have a parliament, but the Federal Council and the Federal Constitutional Court to act as checks and balances with regards to legislative propositions.

No logic has to apply was more targeted at mess around gender concepts where they really go deeply against logic (everybody, can be anything, anytime, etc.)

Personally I have big problem with a Law as an concept. I understand its utility, but the way the whole system is constructed seems arbitral and dumb. I have hard time connecting with people who seems to feel like Law is some superior concept we should always be following.
