Ever caught yourself or others overusing the phrase “I don’t know” at work?
Words have power, especially in the workplace.
Frequent use of “I don’t know” can subtly chip away at our confidence
And portray a less proactive impression.
Here is how to demonstrate initiative and drive with alternatives to “I don’t know”
1. “Let me find that out for…

Brilliant tips Tolu!
Exploring the unknown together is always better.

Please, may you share your thoughts on the best metrics to use outside of the burn down chart and velocity to answer a stakeholder’s question of “when will it be done?”. Thanks so much for sharing your…

We can tackle in this in our next session if you want. Meeting would be easier, while I try to create/write something.

“When will it be done”? can be a tricky thing to answer. The answer to this question should be in the form of, “The team agrees that this work item (Story/ticket/epic) can be done during the following period (date range) with X% confidence, from what we know so far”. Even trying to understand this statement needs a lot of investment in Kanban as…

Dear community,
Happy Friday. In my conversations, I came across a couple of points I want to highlight here:
1) I believe some members here are from non-IT backgrounds trying to make a transition. I would suggest spending time and learning about what agile is and the difference between agile and named frameworks. Also, try to understand the…

@sameer good tips Sameer!
yep, AI is here to stay!
One can either embrace it and level up their skills;
or, resist the change and become irrelevant.
Isn’t being agile all about how quickly we can adapt to change 🤔3

This statistic will blow your mind if you’re a job seeker…or if you’ve been on the hunt for a while, maybe it won’t.
Did you know the average job seeker needs to send out 50 applications just to get one interview?
Only 2 out of every 100 applications result in an interview, making it tough to even get the chance to interview.
But here’s the…

Old career paths are dead.
People that stick to the old ways end up unhappy, and feeling stuck.
And that’s okay..
It means those willing to change can really stand out.
Here is why:
— Now, anyone can learn anything online, breaking old barriers.
— Flexible work is in, showing we don’t need the 9-to-5 grind.
— Showing off your skills online can…

Let’s talk about failure. It’s something we’ve all experienced, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing! In fact, failure can be one of the most valuable learning opportunities we get.
The topic of failure stirs up many mixed emotions. However, perspective is key when embracing failure. Understanding that failure is essential for growth and…

I totally agree with you! Seeing failure as a way to grow and innovate is really important, especially in teams like in Scrum. When you make it okay to try new things without fear of blame, you help everyone feel better and more creative. This way of thinking changes setbacks into chances to learn, making the team stronger and more united.…
