After a while, with some delay, I found also some time to write about Agilia Conference. Now, when did it all fall down away from me, I start realizing how big pile of work we did and how everything run smoothly toward the end. Let’s go back 2 weeks. I will share with you how I saw the […]
Or why I wanted to invite Ferrari to Agilia Conference. Since 2010 we organize Agilia Conference. Our original attempt was to inspire and convince people to make their organizations more Agile. Why is it important? Many of you have following experience – project has failed, customers are dissatisfied or even lost, enormous amount of resources has been […]
Agile organization In any knowledge-based organization, it is employees, who have power over value stream. Imagine your any project. Who did planning, estimations or execution? Did we seriously think when preparing plans? Did we considered our failures as opportunity to learn? If project goes well, no problem. But if it fails, in many cases and […]
I noticed in Agile community and related articles and presentations mentions addressing salaries and remuneration. Money are wanted by to everyone, no wander the topic is becoming increasingly popular.

It has happened 2 years, and 7 months ago.

Who are all those people? They all have some […]
Pomocou vhodného softvéru dokážeme vyriešiť takmer každú úlohu. Trik spočíva v tom, ako správne problém identifikovať.

Pri implementácii agilných techník sa často diskutuje rola Scrum Mastra. Je to programátor? Je to projektový manažér? Je to kouč? … Nezriedka je táto rola v praxi kumulovaná, tj. Scrum Master je súčasne napríklad aj programátor, alebo má za sebou kariéru s veľmi úzkym zameraním. Jednou z úloh, ktoré Scrum Master plní je change agent […]
