Podcasts about Backlog

This week, we talk about Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave, Kingsway, and the current games in our Backlog!

Due to an unknown error with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the agency failed to send voter registration applications to county election officials, according to a statement issued Sept. 24 by the Texas Association of County Election Officials. This comes just weeks before the Nov. 3 general and local elections. Texas county voter registrars across the state recently have received a flood of new voter registrations and updates to voter registration records submitted through the DPS. Some submissions date as far back as October 2025, but were not sent to Texas county voter registrars until last week. Depending... Article Link

Oliver und Tim sprechen in dieser Folge über ein Problem, das vermutlich viele Product Owner kennen: Das Team arbeitet dauernd an Stories, die gar nicht wichtig sind. Der Anlass ist ein Coachingfall. Ein Produktmensch klagt darüber, kaum voranzukommen. Sein Team hat immer zu viel zu tun. Gleichzeitig schreiben die Teammitglieder eigene Tickets ins Backlog. Oder sie ziehen sich Themen selbst von irgendeiner Stelle des Backlog. Manche Stories laufen auch gerne über mehrere Sprints weiter, ohne dass die Developer ein Störgefühl zeigen. Nur passt das selten zur eigentlich notwendigen Produktstrategie des Product Owners bzw. der Produktorganisation. Wenn Teammitglieder selbst Einträge für das Product Backlog schreiben, ist das natürlich erstmal ein absolut gutes Zeichen. Es zeigt echte Selbstorganisation. Schwierig wird es dort, wo diese Einträge ohne Absprache direkt ins Backlog wandern und die Reihenfolge verändern. Genau diese Reihenfolge liegt eigentlich in der Verantwortung der Produktverantwortlichen. Fehlen klare Working Agreements, wer Tickets erstellt und wer sie freigibt, entsteht schnell Unordnung im Backlog. Stories, die gar nicht wichtig sind, bleiben oft über mehrere Sprints liegen. Man möchte begonnene Arbeit ja zu Ende bringen… Das klingt vordergründig vernünftig, kostet aber Steuerungsmöglichkeit. Ein hilfreicher Reflex: Unfertige Einträge wandern konsequent zurück ins Product Backlog. So bleibt die Priorisierung nach Wert erhalten. Die Produktverantwortliche soll dann jederzeit neu entscheiden können, welche Themen gerade wichtiger sind. Hinter dem Punkt "Stories die gar nicht wichtig sind" stecken oft andere Gründe. Häufig fehlt eine klare Produktvision. Technisch geprägte Teams setzen dann eigene (ggf. technische) Prioritäten, weil niemand ihnen die Richtung von oben deutlich genug vermittelt hat. Aber auch andersrum mag technische Komplexität eine Rolle spielen: manche Produktverantwortliche durchdringen die technischen Zusammenhänge nicht gut genug bzw. schaffen es nicht, die fachlichen Zusammenhänge und Notwendigkeiten dem Team gut genug zu vermitteln. Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler treffen dann lieber eigene, technisch motivierte Entscheidungen - schlichtweg weil ihnen der Kontext fehlt. Fehlt zusätzlich eine Scrum Masterin bzw. Agile Coach moderiert oft niemand die nötigen Retrospektiven. Genau dort sollten solche Muster eigentlich auffallen. Auch geringe Präsenz der Produktverantwortlichen im Teamalltag begünstigt die Entwicklung. In dieser Lücke entstehen eigene Gewohnheiten und stille Freiheiten. Fehlendes Refinement und fehlende Sprintziele verstärken den Effekt zusätzlich. Ohne Sprintziel wird im Sprint Planning nie klar, warum ausgerechnet diese eine Story gerade wichtiger sein sollte als jene andere. Am Ende hilft nur Konsequenz: solche Beobachtungen dürfen nicht folgenlos bleiben. Sie brauchen Raum in Retrospektiven, im Refinement und im Sprint Planning. Dazu gehört auch eine Produktvision, die man immer wieder neu erzählt, bis sie beim ganzen Team ankommt (oder allen gefühlt schon zu den Ohren rauskommt). Wer also merkt, dass im eigenen Team dauernd an Stories gearbeitet wird, die gar nicht wichtig sind, sollte das als Alarmsignal für den gesamten Produktentwicklungsprozess verstehen. Oliver und Tim ermutigen dazu, dieses Storytelling auch mit Werkzeugen künstlicher Intelligenz auszubauen. So lässt sich die eigene Produktstrategie in einer Sprache aufbereiten, die im Entwicklungsteam wirklich verfängt. Folgende frühere Episoden werden im Gespräch genannt: - Wenn dein Team dir als Product Owner nicht folgt - Mit Storytelling andere von deinen Produktideen überzeugen - Product Backlog Refinement - Tipps für Product Owner - Product Principles (Produktprinzipien) - Verantwortung als Product Owner übernehmen

Tens of thousands of unprocessed voter registrations were never forwarded to county officials for processing, leading to chaos and questions.If you registered to vote through the DPS, such as when you were updating your driver's license, you may want to check with county officials who are now working through a backlog of forms they should […]

Trevor's youngest saved up half a PS5, dad covered the other half, and the household is now a PS5 household one year before the PS6. That kicked off a subscription rethink. The PS Plus games Trevor collected for years vanished the moment he stopped subscribing, Game Pass Ultimate's streaming never fit his dad flow, and he isn't using the day-one perks. So he's levelling his stats: Xbox spend down, PlayStation spend up, a year of PS Plus at 30% off, one kid on the Xbox and the other on the PlayStation. Jeff's caveat: claim the monthly games or lose them. And the escape hatch they both see coming: if all the kids touch is Fortnite, Rocket League and Fall Guys, maybe the answer is no subscriptions at all. Plus, used PS5 discs are the cheapest used market going right now (Bloodborne for 14 or 15 bucks), but with everyone waiting for GTA 6 and disc production winding down, Trevor thinks it's a tiny window. Jeff, on a digital console, hates hearing it. Then, one year after No New Games 2025: how much did the dads actually buy? Jeff can't name a new game; he's been in his backlog with Sekiro, a modded Stardew Valley, Minecraft with the kids and comfort games "like flavours of ice cream" (he even passed on Wolverine). Trevor picked up Space Marine 2, Assassin's Creed Black Flag on the Switch and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on sale, and now sets himself a challenge: finish, or give an honest go to, seven games before April, before he buys the third Final Fantasy VII. Space Marine 2, GTA 5, Rebirth (Jeff: 93 hours), Black Flag, No Man's Sky (finally playable now that the grind has dials: "I'm in space, let me have fun in space"), Elden Ring and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. That last one is the game that nearly broke their no-new-games year, and neither of them can get into it: Jeff bounced off after a dozen hours, and Trevor hasn't installed it because it needs 45-minute chunks and "the courage to try it." A listener in the chat nails why an older story game loses its pull when an old TV series doesn't. Finally, a board game for kids who bounce off orcs, goblins and ancient-Egypt grain economies: Downforce, a car-racing game where every card moves other cars too, choke points let you block the lane, and betting means a losing car can still win. Trevor's boys had a blast. Jeff: "This is Mario Party. This is gonna totally enrage me." Sign-off: Google says New Dad Gaming is the oldest gaming dad podcast in the world; Jeff says it's also the one with the biggest backlog. **Subscribe to the Podcast!** Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new-dad-gaming/id1107330772 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/434cj9ksKBnX6aY2aBZ6Uw Others on Our Website: https://newdadgaming.com/

On Friday's show: An error by the Texas Department of Public Safety has led to tens of thousands of voter registration applications being caught in a backlog. Natalia Contreras of Votebeat explains why, and a political analyst discusses what it means approaching the midterms.Also this hour: We discuss with a group of medical professionals how to mitigate health risks in youth sports, including concussions and CTE.Then, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his son, filmmaker Nicholas Ma, talk about “American Revival,” a touring performance they're a part of that's coming to The Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston.And we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.Watch

A major DPS failure has left an unknown number of Texas voter registration applications and updates stranded for nearly a year, and the state has dumped tens of thousands of records onto already-overburdened county election offices just weeks before the election. Under pressure, counties must now sort and verify the backlog, while ensuring old or duplicate information doesn't overwrite newer voter records. As this DPS failure dates back to October of 2025 (at least), it may already have affected primary voters in March and May. With the scope still unknown and state assistance limited, this terribly-timed failure creates additional uncertainty and a heightened risk for administrative errors - in short, it's a trainwreck.Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/23/texas-voter-registration-application-failure-dps-elections-2026/The New Republic: https://newrepublic.com/post/215767/error-unknown-number-texas-voter-registrationsABC News: https://abcnews.com/amp/US/wireStory/state-error-texas-creates-huge-backlog-voter-registration-136701823Join Progress Texas and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BallotReady⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for another LIVE podcast recording session with Asian Texans For Justice during this year's TribFest in Austin!

Make The Ken's Daybreak X First Principles Autumn Playlist here.India has roughly 54 million cases stuck in its courts. Inside many of them is money someone is owed but can't afford to chase. What if you could invest in that? Back the case, pay the legal bills, and take a cut if it wins. In the US and the UK, this is already a multi-billion-dollar asset class. In India, a handful of funders are trying to build it. But they've run into a strange problem. The same backlog that makes the idea so attractive is also what makes it so hard. Because here, of course you are betting on whether a case wins…but more importantly, you're betting on when.In a recent edition of our weekly newsletter Ka Ching, The Ken reporter Mutasim Khan looked at who's making this bet, who's putting up the money, and who it's actually helping. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

A new priority process that could see some Australian citizens wait longer for their partners to receive a visa has drawn criticism.

Alphabet (GOOGL) is "a winner forever" in the tech space, argues LikeFolio's Andy Swan, making the case that the Mag 7 giant's expanding CapEx into data centers is long-term bullish for the company. While Alphabet is spending around $200 billion in 2026 for AI infrastructure, he argues its $500 billion backlog justifies the spending. He uses consumer data gathered by his firm to gauge how demand for cloud adds to the bigger picture.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

En el episodio de hoy Juan Manuel de los Reyes y Valentina Orduz analizaron dos de los resultados corporativos más comentados de la temporada. Repasaron el trimestre de Oracle, que sorprendió con ingresos de $19,350 millones de dólares y un crecimiento del 121% en su nube de infraestructura, aunque explicaron por qué el mercado reaccionó con cautela ante el enorme gasto en centros de datos, el flujo de caja libre negativo y la concentración de contratos en clientes como OpenAI. También examinaron a Adobe, que reportó ingresos récord de $6,760 millones de dólares y avances en IA, pero enfrentó dudas sobre la conversión de sus usuarios gratuitos en clientes que pagan. El episodio cerró con una mirada al dato de inflación al consumidor y su influencia sobre las próximas decisiones de la Reserva Federal.

David and Paige share the games that have been on their backlogs the longest, and the ones they most want to take off it.

CRPO accelerations at Salesforce, ServiceNow, Okta, Palantir, MongoDB, and Zoom, plus NVIDIA's data center guide, show software and AI are compounding together, not cannibalizing.

For migrant families, partner visa delays can mean spending longer apart. More than 68,000 partner visa applications were lodged in 2024, while fees have risen 25 per cent to $11,710. Updated processing guidance could also mean lower priority for some applications when the primary applicant is outside Australia. SBS Hindi speaks to an applicant waiting to reunite with his wife and a family migration expert about what the changes mean.

This week's episode is all about how I didn't last long in my attempt to play through Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, followed by what to expect in future episodes of Attack the Backlog.

Welcome to the Backlog Busters, Season 9 - Episode 33. Mathman, blazeknight, hootz, and skinnymattk discuss Dungeon Crawler Carl, audiobooks, anniversaries, birthdays and time with family, miniature golf, free treadmill, registering for college, answering Zablanc's question about when does a game get removed from the backlog. At the end of the episode we dish out top secret tips for WarioLand: Super Mario Land 3 (Gameboy) and highlight new releases on Steam.

Stocks like Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) have phenomenally outperformed over the last 12 months, but also fell victim to a recent ramp in tech volatility. Bob Lang sees more room to run for the AI memory trade due to margin opportunity in dRAM and an eventual downtrend in supply woes. Ed Butowsky spotlights Micron's backlog as a key bullish factor warranting the stock's stellar rise. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

A new priority process that could see some Australian citizens wait longer for their partners to receive a visa has drawn criticism. The backlog for visa applications has been growing as the Labor government faces pressure to curb its net overseas migration. Many migrants are waiting for more detail on the Governments migration reforms, with fears it could make the process more difficult.

Getting a citizenship, asylum or a permanent residency case in front of a judge is a notoriously slow process. Now, the Trump administration is speeding it up with so-called “mega master” calendar hearings where dozens of people are asked to appear in immigration court on short notice. This means people have to scramble to find a lawyer, arrange childcare, and get the day off work, leaving many unable to attend their court hearing. But, if people fail to show up to court, it could mean an automatic deportation order.The administration says it's a way to reduce the number of cases backlogged but some advocates call it a tactic to further the administration's goal of mass deportations.In the Loop sits down with an immigration reporter to get the latest and hears from an Illinois lawmaker calling for the end of the “mega master” court hearings.GUESTS: Adriana Cardona-Maguigad, WBEZ Immigration reporterU.S. Rep.

Alex Coffey discusses CoreWeave's (CRWV) latest earnings which showed revenue doubling year-over-year and a backlog that grew to over $100 billion. However, as Alex explains, not all analysts are turning bullish on the report.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze the extraordinary RPO growth at Microsoft, Oracle, Google Cloud, and AWS and what it signals about AI demand. Highlights 00:03 — We've got another example here where, in the greatest growth market the world has ever known, we are working with some big numbers that put the law of big numbers to the test here. So, if you look at the four hyperscalers, and I go in order of the size of their backlog or RPO, you've got Microsoft, Oracle, Google Cloud, and AWS. 00:29 — So this is fully committed business. It's fully contracted and not yet recognized as revenue. So this is what's coming down the road, to look into the pipeline, in the future, these companies have — this isn't some guesstimate of what they hope they'll get. This is signed, contracted business. So this is one of the factors, probably the key factor, behind why you see these CapEx numbers approaching or exceeding $200 billion. 01:09 — Now that has led to a couple of these companies entering into the debt markets to try to fund this data center expansion and all that enormous CapEx outlay that they've got to go through. In turn, a couple of these companies for a quarter or two had negative cash flows, and that's got some people on Wall Street unable to comprehend it. The world's coming to an end. What are we going to do? 01:46 — I think the perspective is being switched here, right? Traditionally, the idea is bad. You don't want to have negative cash flow. Okay, that's pretty basic. I think we got that. The difference is there have never been a market with a size, a total addressable market , anything like this, growing at the rate this is. Look at these latest numbers for the four hyperscalers. 02:23 — Oracle, off a much smaller revenue base, has this huge future business coming in: $638 billion in RPO, growing at 363%. Google Cloud had a huge jump this past Q2, $514 billion in backlog, up 390%, and a resurgent AWS posted its biggest backlog number ever, $496 billion, and I believe that growth rate of 154% for its backlog is much higher than any they've reported over the last five or six quarters. 04:07 — So I think it's significant, but I also think it's being vastly overblown. I just want to say one more time: $2.3 trillion. Now, that's not like a TAM figure. Somebody's saying, "Oh, we think the market for new scooters is going to be $2.3 trillion." These are four companies, just four , not the whole tech industry, and these are their signed, contracted, committed figures for what they've got in their backlog or RPO. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

The backlog of federal retirement claims is at the lowest point in 2026 with just over 24,000 in OPM's inventory. New data shows OPM processed more than 17,000 claims last month, of which 14,000 were done digitally. Additionally, OPM says it of the 14,000 claims it received in July, 10,500 were provided to them in an electronic format. Despite this progress, processing times inched up to 98 days on average for digital claims and 109 days for all claims. OPM says, on average, paper based claims took 156 days to process.

A strong bond rating can tell investors that a city is likely to repay its debt. It says much less about whether that city can afford to replace the roads, pipes, and other infrastructure its residents depend on. Richard Ciccarone, president emeritus of Merit Research Services, developed a new metric using financial statements from nearly 2,000 cities to estimate that burden. When he compared the infrastructure burden with government bond ratings, the correlation was surprisingly weak. Cities can remain attractive to creditors while aging assets accumulate replacement costs that no bondholder can force them to address.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I examine why SAP's biggest competitive challenge may soon come from OpenAI and Anthropic rather than traditional enterprise software rivals. Highlights 00:00 — SAP released its Q2 numbers last week, and a couple of interesting things happened there. First of all, strong Q2 cloud revenue growth, 24%. But even higher than that was its backlog growth, which went up 26%. CEO Christian Klein tied that specifically to the company's transformation, started about two years ago, to shift more and more of the sales effort from the direct channel to the indirect channel. 00:56 — It had resellers whose big concern a number of years ago was, "Well, what margin am I going to get? What discount do I get?" Today, the focus, through the efforts of Chief Partner Officer Karl Fahrbach and Klein, has shifted very, very much toward, "How do we get successful outcomes? How do we ensure these AI deployments happen smoothly, rapidly, and effectively at the customer site?" 01:29 — It's about $7.2 billion. Within that, the Cloud ERP Suite was up 27% to $6.4 billion, and the current cloud backlog, that 26% jump, pushed it to $26.3 billion. It said growth for full-year 2026 will be somewhere between 23% and 25%. I've penciled it in here as 24%, and that will come in right at about $30 billion. 02:28 — Klein said, "The growth for our indirect channel in Q2 again significantly outpaced our direct channel growth," and this reflects, he said, a successful go-to-market transformation. He has revised the company's leadership, its product portfolio, the impression the market has about ERP and what SAP Cloud ERP means, and how the whole notion at the highest level of the autonomous enterprise sinks in. 04:20 — Now there's enterprise applications, agents, AI, and data vendors, and this growth streak it's had in the mid-20s has been very impressive. So the biggest challenge SAP has going forward will come, in some form that's unclear right now, from OpenAI and Anthropic, and exactly how those they are going to parlay their early focus on models into the whole agentic AI movement in the agents and workflow space.

Ask Us A QuestionYou'd think the loudest person in the room decides where a fight goes. It's actually the calmest. Hang with us, because that one takes some explaining.This week we're answering the question that flooded in after our last episode: "Okay, but what do I do when a fight is actually starting?" Because a fight is a lot like a lit firecracker. Once the fuse burns down, you don't have choices anymore. You've got about 2.2 seconds where you do, and nobody ever taught us what to do with them.So we break down what's really happening inside you when a fight ignites. Why emotion, not logic, is running the show. Why matching their escalation feels fair and de-escalating feels like losing, and the middle ground between punishing them and giving them a pass that most of us never see. Why your brain can go so far offline mid-fight that you honestly don't remember what you said. Staci also names the two places nearly all of us go when emotion takes over. One of you probably spins up. One of you probably shuts down. There's a reason you found each other, and there's a third option neither of you has tried.And then, the skill. The brake pedal. The pause with a promise attached. Staci walks you through the sentence to have ready before you ever need it, and describes the moment that happens when a couple uses it for the first time and both people actually come back to the table. She's watched years of resentment fall away in that moment. It's the whole reason we do this work.If this episode felt a little too familiar, start with the free Better Love Quiz at betterlovequiz.com, or book a private session with Staci at stacibartley.com/private-sessions. Staci works with couples and individuals all over the world via Zoom, and one person can change the trajectory of a relationship.We're live every Monday at 1:00 PM PST / 4:00 PM EST on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Come hang out and bring your questions.Remember: love isn't enough, but skills are.
