On this week’s ‘solocast’ of the Agile Coaches’ Corner, Dan Neumann wants to talk a little bit about words and phrases! If you had a magic wand and could change any word or phrase in relation to Scrum and agility, what would it be? In this episode, Dan shares the four words and phrases that he would change for all Scrum teams — and, if it were possible, why he would like to see them go away, altogether! Key Takeaways Resources vs. People Don’t confuse the people on your team with resources If you mean ‘people,’ say ‘people’; don’t say ‘resources’ You consume resources (i.e. time is a resource that you can use to achieve goals) Commitment vs. Forecast Commitments are something you keep, come hell or high water When we’re dealing with a lot of uncertainty, a more appropriate term to use would be ‘forecast’ rather than a commitment When you’re dealing with your Scrum teams, make sure that ‘commit’ is a term that is held back; think more in terms of forecasts (and especially forecasts with a probability of when you will be able to deliver, such as: ‘We forecast with 90% confidence’) Grooming vs. Refining Grooming is something you do to a dog; a more appropriate term for what you want to do to your product backlog in the Scrum world would be to ‘refine’ it Think of ‘refining’ as the removal of things that are impure or low value “Your product backlog [is] not a dog; don’t groom it!” Deadlines vs. Goals & Targets Deadlines traditionally refer to drawing a line in the sand (and if you cross said line, you’re dead) — which isn’t a very motivating term nowadays! More appropriate terms would be: goals and targets “We have a target of releasing the new product on January 1st.” With targets, you can introduce the concept of a ‘cost of delay,’ when you miss a target date Having goals and targets with specific dates coupled with a ‘cost of delay’ will allow you to make much more informed decisions about how to prioritize work Mentioned in this Episode: Top 30 Agile Leadership Podcasts To Follow in 2020 Agile Coaches’ Corner Bonus Podcast: “How to Make AI Work in Your Enterprise with Dr. Jerry Smith” Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Besides cases of lower back pain, another common problem that most people face is neck pain. In severe instances, the pain shoots from the neck to the arm, which can lead to numbness and immobility. One condition that is often difficult to diagnose is the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). In this episode of Back Talk Doc, Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia is joined by Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates’ nurse practitioner Emily Tucker and physical therapist Jay Murugavel in this roundtable discussion on TOS. Drawing from his expertise, Jay dives into what the thoracic outlet is and what causes pain in this particular spinal region. He talks about the various occupational risk factors connected to this condition, including certain sports like baseball and swimming, and working for long periods in awkward positions. You should also look out for things such as predisposing injury and congenital anomalies that can exacerbate Treatment options such as surgery and physical therapy were also described, which are going to vary depending on the assessment of the patient’s clinical state. The goal is to minimize stiffness in the muscles and promote joint mobility. Breathing patterns also play a huge role in recovery and Jay encourages regular diaphragmatic breathing. Emily provides valuable insight as well by sharing her personal experience with TOS, from diagnosis to treatment, and how she continues to manage her pain. She highlights the importance of listening to your body and your physicians and being compliant with the treatment plan devised by your medical team.

How’s your year going so far? I might have a pretty good idea already. We work with and see how 250+ small to mid-sized agencies are doing every year and there are always patterns that emerge. Every spring, I give a trends presentation to all of the agency owners in AMI peer groups. Together we explore how those trends are showing up in our world and how they’re impacting the industry. Then, in the summer – I share those same rends with my podcast audience. If you’ve been listening for a while, you know this is an annual feature of the show. In this episode, I share the financial picture that is emerging from the data. How are clients spending their marketing dollars? Is this a good time to be an agency owner? I’ll share what the numbers are saying. We’ll also talk about the mood among agency owners and whether or not they’re bullish on 2019 and 2020. There are too many trends to cover in one episode, so this is part one. Check it out so you’re ready for part two next month. What You Will Learn in this Episode: Top agency trends in 2019 Understanding the rise of project work How to manage after a gorilla client suddenly breaks up with you Why transparency in markups and commissions is so important Why agencies are earning more dollars, but those dollars are harder to acquire How to regain that spark when agency work makes you weary New trends in agency succession planning Drew McLellan is the CEO at Agency Management Institute.
