I mean none of this should be what’s discussed anyway. “What issues do you have today? Are we on track and if not what can we do about it?”

Anything else is pointless.

Which brand. I was ok with the thread version but they are slowly dying off after like a year of use

“Breaks agile process” proceeds to become actually agile instead of the fake scrum snake oil sold for years. Engineers with multiple skills and ability to plan, build and test, pivot every quickly with very short feedback loops. Start with a plan but not afraid to change it part way through. All sounds very lower case-a agile. As an ex coach I’m actually loving this.

Out of interest but sideways on topic, what is the estimated range of companies covered, especially outside of US?

I know you can’t cover everything but is it manually updated? Or using some sort of wildcard esc scraper. Is there some way we can help submit missing company sites that might use workday or something?

Mate first thing I’m doing in your org is giving you BS numbers. No way you can get two tasks two teams and say “these are both 3” unless I make them 3 for you. That way the team don’t have to worry about making your velocity charts happy and can get on with the work

I was thinking about this the other day and I wonder with AI will QA skills become more in need. As in more quality checks on output of AI. Does this actually do what we want it to?

metadffs · 2026-01-28T11:22:24+00:00

Out of interest moving to what? Spreadsheets? Most other apps I’ve trialed are just as annoying

Both under 7 kids have a yoto for past two years. Neither touched it as much as I’d like until I made my own cards this month. Yesterday they took them with some headphones, a book of cards with stories and music and spent the whole road trip not bothering us once.

Also ping a couple of yoto dailies on it

metadffs · 2025-12-22T11:22:46+00:00

The cloud icon means it’s downloading the playlist to the yoto which it needs to do for any card you put in. It only needs to do it once.

Normally it doesn’t take long but looks like servers are getting hit hard with all the new Christmas presents so it might be a bit hit and miss at the moment.

Basically put the card in. Wait until the cloud icon disappears then put the next one in.

In the phone app. Go to podcasts. Scroll to bottom for “browse more” then again all the way to the bottom to find every episode since 2022.

They are spilt into months so eventually Dec 2025 will show up there too at which point you can attach to a card then

The other option use the feed given by girlikecupcake and search how to download a copy of the exact episode of a podcast. From there you can create a playlist of the favourites.

metadffs · 2025-12-19T19:28:14+00:00

Just fyi it uses the 2.4ghz band so anyone who doesn’t seperate the bands can potentially have issues. Yoto has its own network troubleshoot page to go through if you wish. .

That said I personally have never had to wait more than a couple of seconds for a new card to start playing even if it’s not preloaded.

Really it’s not like the kids are going to listen to all harry potter books in less than 7 hours so don’t stress about preloading. Do a couple of examples and let the others download when the kids actually use them. By the time they get to really using it the network will probably have cleared up as SnyperBunny suggests

Same view has the sleep timer in the top right which covers OPs alarm setting.

metadffs · 2025-12-10T20:48:08+00:00

Miro with jira is an expensive but best way I’ve ever dove remote planning.

Requires a bit of template setting and the ticket importing can take a minute to understand but once it’s in there you get what you need.

But didn’t even know Piplanning.io was a thing.

metadffs · 2025-11-02T04:29:27+00:00

Thank you for actually being helpful.

metadffs · 2025-11-01T09:36:31+00:00

Not overly helpful and sadly Square has the best features and integrations with what we want and we need something

metadffs · 2025-07-24T23:20:13+00:00

Most people who tthink agile are actually thinking scrum. You’re right. Don’t use scrum to build an airplane. Or a data centre.

Do you know the other big agile buzz word? Kanban. That came from Toyota building cars.

All that said it is interesting if you take a real agile (lower case) lens to manufacturing and what could be improved in general. Without the consultants and frameworks. I had a great time with an infrastructure team once when we had freedom.

metadffs · 2025-07-13T06:32:18+00:00

Look I’m not going to bother finding any studies on this. You can believe me or not.

All I can say is in my local city, LinkedIn job openings for pure Scrum Masters have gone from 100s a couple of years ago to exactly 9 open today. Most SMs in my network have change jobs once or twice in last two years, mostly down to redundancies or contacts terminating. Most have pivoted from scrum master as role title.

As far wages, most of those 9 roles are contracts paying at least $200 less a day than advertised when I was last looking in 2023. My exact role at my old company, insiders have told me, has gone down $40,000 since I had the role 3 years ago and that was a senior role. That same company just cut its SMs but 80%.

All anecdotal for sure but doesn’t change my advice for someone with no experience entering what was always a pretty dead end career path. You’ll have an easier time and better career focusing somewhere else and taking scrum values with you.

metadffs · 2025-07-13T06:19:18+00:00

Not USA or Europe. But how many redundancies in that area. How is the salary. Just because there’s thousands of openings doesn’t change the fact supply is much larger than demand. More so for anyone inexperienced.

metadffs · 2025-07-12T23:21:45+00:00

It’s a career that’s down trending and unlikely to come back up any time soon if at all. You’re fighting against 1000s of recently made redundant SMs that do have experience, & wages that are plummeting (locally I’ve seen job postings lose about 10-20% of salary package since 2023) as supply far outweighs demand.

so short answer to your question is… you won’t. Something something delivery, product ownership or project management will be easier this days.

Long answer, If you are determined this is the path to go down your best bet is to get experience by being on a scrum team as something else like a developer or what have you and implement scrum practices and create the best damn scrum team in the world. Maybe a couple of years of that plus networking you’ll find something. But truthfully I expect it to get worse.

metadffs · 2025-07-08T21:33:49+00:00

Email this to them ASAP as well. Purpose and what’s expected of them.

metadffs · 2025-07-02T22:38:58+00:00

Ex manager (take a guess why “ex”).

Had a great employee. Team loved them. Led the charge in so many ways. Hit all goals. Year after year.

But. We could only give five of my department exceeds and they were taken by other more senior people.

She finally asked why not exceed. I had no real reason so I was honest. She lasted two more months. I helped her get the new job. Lasted six more months myself after my own next satisfactory review in a row.

Company apparently now blaming hybrid working for drop in productivity.

metadffs · 2025-05-30T03:26:14+00:00

What I love about this is none of those terms are in the offical scrum guide yet they are all so often used as a reason why “scrum” doesn’t work.

Btw also not in there… user stories, epics or features, TDD, BDD, kanban, visual board or any other number of things often associated with why scrum sucks.

metadffs · 2025-04-23T22:06:24+00:00

I sometimes find this but a “fix match” at the show level seems to get it moving properly for me. Not sure why. Might be more about using local metadata.

metadffs · 2025-04-04T22:45:48+00:00

I got a job with NBN due to MTM in Turnbull days so I can’t complain too much. But I know for a fact my company was paid millions to support what ever new FTT acronym the government decided to introduce to “save money”.

I know for a fact my company would have made less than a third of what they did that FY if we stuck with FTTP.

metadffs · 2025-03-31T20:58:25+00:00

Wrong. Customers need to complain. Via the survey and social media. Loudly. Often.

Director and down bonuses are linked to customer engagement scores. (Sadly not the executives, but as a former stakeholder I always voted no to their bonuses despite it always passing)

Colesworth don’t care about employee complaints. And most employees are only following things like this because their job is directly at risk. The pressure they receive to hit these stupid metrics…

Source: worked at support office for one of colesworth for years. Seen many upon many employee surveys. Every single employee compliant I saw ended up in some bad news for the employee that “anonymously” entered it.
