As we continue to grow and evolve, we often lean on our Agile Coaches to help our teams adapt and thrive. So what does the career framework actually look like for an Agile Coach at @Spotify? Take a look: engineering.atspotify.com/2023/01/agile-…

@CamiRusso i enjoyed the infinite machine, thank you for writing it. happy to read that a movie is in the making. h/t to @koreyspace for the book tip.

@johncutlefish Do pair interviewing. One person lead, one shadow. Benefit is multifold - One of em being that you have two sets of notes to consider. Extra tip is to ise a rubric, and only after evaluating you both evaluated the interview, have a chat to compare notes and keep rubric handy.

@NativeWired @cliffhazell If it’s at the postombud and it’s in the app, you can identify yourself with bankid. It will then open it up for anyone to pick up

@cliffhazell Yup :)

A nice German person send me a package in Sweden - sadly I am not home and no-one else can pick it up. Even if I write a power of atterney, they can’t pick it up. I would need to hand that in before leaving or give the person my id.. I appreciate the security but it is annoying.

@cliffhazell A simple way to introduce this could be to put all of the estimates on an x axis and call it effort, And create a y axis called value and ask/help folks to shift the estimated items up or down.

@cliffhazell I’ve been pondering about this and i think it varies on the capabilities of the team you are expecting this from. Quite simply some might not be practiced in this. I’m sure very few folks would argue against doing it once they see this opportunity.

What are your thoughts on why this is so rare?

Disorganisation is part of the system in a growth company. Organisation is at best temporary.

Don’t be surprised if this generates a long discussion. This is normal.

“Are we working on the right thing today?” is a great question to add to your daily standup routine. I’ve heard many teams ask a variation of “does everyone have something to do today?” This sometimes creates busy work rather than realising what you need to be working on or not.

@cliffhazell Keep the recs coming! Second good one i get from you today 🕺🕺

In case you need more encouragement to appreciate the exceptional Nina Simone... open.spotify.com/track/2bdapwYV…
