Website of kai kroker. Preparing for the scrum certification PSM I. A few people have asked me what I did to prepare for my scrum PSM I certification. So I thought I’d share it with all of you at once. First of all my employer TWT. Paid for a certification course from Itemis. For my colleague Matthias and I. This was a two day course especially designed to prepare you for the PSM I certification. To prepare for the course I read through the scrum guide. I also bought the book scrum – kurz und gut.

Did you always succeed? Ok, so the equation is. X / (X - 5) = 2. Now, you can multiply by (X - 5) to get rid of the fraction. So I always multiply by the denominator? Wellyes, in these cases, when there is no further summation taking place. I modified the above equation slightly by adding 1 on each side:. However,...

Giving Feedback Without Much Context
https://www.tombartel.de/blog/feedback-without-much-context
Thoughts on software development and software management. Giving Feedback Without Much Context. Situation: I noticed that one team had almost no discussions around their code changes before they were merged. Other teams did. They would make suggestions for improvement, point out flaws, and sometimes do several rounds of commenting and re-committing before code was actually merged. This was the point of code reviews, after all. How he handles these situations:. Now, your concern might be entirely unground...

What is Your Territory?
https://www.tombartel.de/blog/your-territory
Thoughts on software development and software management. What is Your Territory? One of the most interesting things I took away from The War of Art. By Steven Pressfield is the distinction between.

A Competition of Goals?
https://www.tombartel.de/blog/competition-of-goals
Thoughts on software development and software management. A Competition of Goals? Earlier this year, I was told about a discussion among higher-ups at a tech company. There had been a survey among all employees, and the result was that many of them were dissatisfied with the lack of perspective they saw in terms of personal advancement and development. There were no career tracks, nor were there personal development plans of any sort. The rocket ship legend. And, when Sandberg left Google in 2008, the nu...
