I know how daunting it can feel to face a day filled with back-to-back meetings at the end of each sprint. By adopting a rolling wave planning process, my team has transformed our Scrum experience.

“(C)ompanies are moving away from traditional command-and-control practices and toward something very different: a model in which managers give support and guidance rather than instructions, and employees learn how to adapt to constantly changing environments in ways that unleash fresh energy, innovation, and commitment. The role of the manager, in short, is becoming that of a coach.
I aspire to be a pragmatic idealist. Pragmatists make things. Idealists make things better.
