@tom_peters When stock price is the product... Not the actual product they sell... Its hard to see how it turns out good.

Oh shit. This is a really bad day. My cynicism regarding, what, 80% of giant company CEOs going through the roof. Honestly not sure I can take it. And probably 80% of the bad 80% have Glorious Mission Statements that herald “We Put Our People First.”

@agileschools I'm not sure they know what that word means... Well... Clearly they don't know what that word means... At least I hope not...

Someone says I have not “bagged”
a CST as a mentor, yet.
I respond “I am not sure I want to be bagged”, that seems to be a disrespectful way of seeking mentorship.
And then they make me the bad guy. Fascinating.

@CBSThisMorning might want to look at Colorados (or other states who have been doing it) vote by mail... You act like Ohio is the first state to every vote by mail??

@tottinge Right. I agree. The goal of competing the project is completing the project... Lol.. In most cases. And, great project managers focus on people and the product, when the structure allows them to. And there are product folks that have limiting constraints to seeing the forest.
English
@jcalabrese I tend to think of it only slightly differently.
A product manager is successful if the product is successful.
A project manager is successful on delivery.
English
A big problem I'm having with product management is that, thanks to the euphemism treadmill, it's what you call project managers now.
How many product managers are actually product managers and not just project managers in disguise?

@tottinge They are when they don't understand or thier organization does not understand the role. I was actually teaching a product owner class this weekend w a colleague... And that was a key message we covered in the class. Need to know the vision, value, customer goals... And more...
English
@jcalabrese I think "product owner" is well-chosen but often used euphemistically.
Ideally, a product owner would be someone invested in the success of the product who guides the team.
A scrum PO is often invested in delivering a backlog, or liaison for someone invested in a backlog.

@lisacrispin Much of it is that a large percent of the population does not want to talk about it... Because so much of it is due to negligent political incompetence. And people have been conditioned to not discuss politics... For various reasons...

@mattfahrner @tottinge I generally think about it as a product could be any product or service that you deliver features to or support features on. Definately not just software. Some, like a high-end office chair are delivered, but that product might still be 'versioned' with new features over time.
English
@tottinge This "product" thing is kind of confusing to me. The vast majority of organizations are not creating software "products" they are creating or integrating software tools. Yet, most Internet software discussion is around product, as if all everyone does is startups and shelfware.

@lisacrispin Did David say we have all had Sars? Must be a typo. There is no decent plan. Which is the issue. What they would need is large scale rapid testing (I include results as part of the test). A database to upload and track. And contact tracing to track need cases and all contacts.

Please give me 100 synonyms for “sickening” or “contemptible.” Need them to describe the WHO decision.

@agilecoach Actually... That's not a fact. It's unclear what the source was.

@agileschools It is not a fear. He won't. He does not. People have already died because they listened to him. He literally makes things up constantly. I'm not sure why people will think the math will work out better.
English
I actually agree with this statement.
I do fear he will not use actual science and experts to make his decision.

WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

@acroll We are not even testing people to see if they have it in any significant way... The news promotes the story when a state will be able to test 2000 people/day at some point this week... So far behind its unreal...

We need to get ahead of how we identify people who are resistant, cleanly and securely without violating PII, and then use this to minimize disruptions.

Incidentally, if a person in a household is known to have had COVID based on the extant RNA test and is now recovered, they are a good choice of person to send out for errands, since they are also now immune. 32/

@rdonoghue I actually don't pay much attention to the day. When I'm traveling I dont know the day anyway, since my travel days varied. Now is the same. I don't really think about it any more. I now know my location every day...lol

Random thing:
I have completely lost my physical cues for what day of the week it is, which is a little disorienting.
I probably need to hack something up, and I’m curious if anyone has tricks for doing something like this?

Good news: There is the other side to this mess

Trying to cancel flights with @united - they say "use the app website" but it will not allow me cancel the flights - says I have to call... almost 75 minutes on the 1K line - they are not kidding about "we are experiencing delays" - wish the website worked.
