Why We Want Women in Teams
http://brodzinski.com/2015/05/women-in-teams.html
Why We Want Women in Teams. May 12, 2015. One of the messages that I frequently share is that we need more women in our teams. By now I’ve faced the whole spectrum of reactions to this message, from calling me a feminist to furious attacks pointing how I discriminate women. If nothing else people are opinionated on that topic and there’s a lot of shallow, and unfair, buzz when it comes to role of women in IT. The first part of the story is the one about collective intelligence. Pointed factors responsibl...

Cumulative Flow Diagram
http://brodzinski.com/2013/07/cumulative-flow-diagram.html
July 15, 2013. Before we move to all the specific cases let me start with the basic stuff though (feel free to scroll down if you’re familiar with this part). The mechanism of Cumulative Flow Diagram is very simple. On a vertical axis we have a number of tasks. On a horizontal one we have a timeline. The curves are basically a number of items in any possible state shown in a time perspective. The whole trick is that they are shown cumulatively. With such a workflow our Cumulative Flow Diagram may look li...

Portfolio Kanban Board
http://brodzinski.com/2015/04/portfolio-kanban-board.html
April 21, 2015. One thing that I learned quickly when I started experimenting with Portfolio Kanban is that a classic, flow-driven board design isn’t particularly good. In vast majority of cases. Long story short, I ended up redesigning the board structure completely. And it worked much better. In fact, it worked so well that I started proposing such a design as a starting point whenever working with portfolio Kanban. Since then it was picked up to manage portfolios. By that time it was perfectly clear t...

Burn-up versus Burn-down Chart
http://brodzinski.com/2012/10/burn-up-better-burn-down.html
Why Burn-up Chart Is Better Than Burn-down Chart. October 11, 2012. The other day I was in the middle of discussion about visuals a team was going to use in a new project. When we came to the point of tracking completion of the project I advised a burn-up chart and intended to move on. The thing that stopped me was the question I was asked: why burn-up and not burn-down? OK, considering these two work almost identically, what’s the difference? Give me a break. Not to mention that approximating the finish...
