People have asked me “How can I get my execs to support an agile transformation? They don’t like that they can’t predict anything.”. Reframe the Agile conversation around value. Orient the conversation around value, not around methodologies. (Picture credit below). This is never going to be an easy conversation, but I recommend reframing it from the outset.

I'm a firm believer in needing to find your personal passion/skill/opportunity fit as the ultimate path to career fulfillment. Only when you find a career that you're passionate about, that you can also be skilled at, and one that has sufficient market opportunity will you achieve ultimate career satisfaction. And it takes a careful balance of all three dimensions because simply finding fit along one dimension unfortunately won't result in success nor fulfillment.

Is distraction a curse or a blessing? Not giving full attention to what we should be doing makes us miss deadlines, fail classes, and crash into other drivers. Distraction certainly has a price. Nonetheless, we love our distractions! Social media, spectator sports, movies, books, TV shows, the news, video games – what would we do […]. The post When Distraction is a Good Thing appeared first on Nir and Far.

At Perfecto, since the introduction of desktop web browsers to the continuous quality lab, we’re seeing tremendous growth in new test cases, acceleration in frequency of executions, usage of key browsers and versions, and overall significant growth in the number of executions with a need for web test automation. This isn’t unique to Perfecto’s customers: we see a clear intensification of the test activities, whether managed within the test team, development team or both.

In a delightful new spot for Samsung’s Gear VR , an ostrich stumbles into a set of the virtual reality sunglasses, which click on and simulate that he is soaring into the clouds, a dream-like sequence all irresistibly set to the tune of Elton John’s “Rocket Man.” After some time with the device, and a few trial runs, the famously flightless bird takes off, all to the tagline “do what you can’t.”.

These are my takeaways and personal perspective from a Fishburners ‘Learn From A Burner’ presentation given by Will Davies of Car Next Door ( car sharing in Sydney, Brisbane, & Melbourne ). Note that very little editing has been done and that these notes aren’t comprehensive. “The sketchier our flyers look, the better the results.” Will started his talk by pointing out that the following three pillars were the key factors to the success to date for Car Next Door (CND).

I am on a plane half way around the world going to visit (yet another) tech company who is in internal disarray over the subject of who they want to be. Will they stay a product company who sells features or become an as-a-service, recurring revenue company who delivers business outcomes? I finally finish my email somewhere over the Emperor Seamounts and grab the Wall Street Journal.

It seems that many businesses have a ways to go in achieving this, as research studies have shown that roughly 2/3 of today’s employees are disengaged in the workplace.
