The economy is one big project.

My comments below are in square brackets. I thought it would be fun to try and argue that the economy is one big project, the Feds is one big team, and us being one huge owner.

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a major shift, the Federal Reserve [the team in this project] will start announcing four times a year how long it plans to keep short-term interest rates at existing levels, according to minutes from its December policy meeting. [So. The economy is one giant project. Used to run on 2 iteration per year, now 4. This is a result of several giant retrospect meetings know as the G8 economic summit, among others]

The shift marks the Fed's latest effort to make its communications with the public more open and explicit. [One of the basic and essential rules in Agile is: transparency.]

The change is intended to reassure consumers and investors [the product owners, the general public] that they will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future. And some economists said it could lead to further Fed action to try to invigorate the economy. [So expect more retrospect meeting and based on those, expect constant improvement to the process]"

Scrum master... "show" and "clear" the way, not "direct" the way

One problem I see more often than not is when scrum masters and PMs start directing a team rather than showing and clearing the way for the team. A team is a unit that works on a target. When PMs or SMs start directing the way, they are removing the element of self organizing, which is a key element in agile software development.

In summary, to all SMs and PMs ... Show and clear the way/path for the team to do what it needs to do.

A team can do the work :)

Going back to the basics

It's always a good idea to take one step back in our busy days, and go back to the basics.
This is where it starts...... http://agilemanifesto.org/
