Leveraging TMMi to focus DevOps test process improvements Re-Read Saturday News\\xa0 This week we focus on Chapter 3 of\\xa0 g.\\xa0 The chapter this week is titled, Focus on One Task Now.\\xa0 An update on the continued experiment using Monotasking. In Chapter 2, Staffan describes how to create a short list of five items and then to push everything else to the \\u201cgrass catcher\\u201d list. I have been working on using this approach this week with a special focus on capturing the date an item was added to the list and the stakeholder for the item. In the past, I trimmed my list on a quarterly basis. I use the dramatic approach of starting a new list saving only those items on my short list. This week I tried Staffan\\u2019s weekly approach, trimming off a few older items on a weekly basis. The date added is useful but what I found more useful was asking myself the question, \\u201cam I really going to do this or is this an aspirational item?\\u201d Cue the chainsaw; even though I started a new list on July 1st I was able to remove several items from my new grass catcher list.

Despite the unpredictable outcome, jumping the queue is practiced by many in traffic and even more when funneling work to teams. The consequences when working on information technology products are far more predictable than driving, and they are ALWAYS bad. We will also have a visit from Susan Parente, who brings her I Am Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the cast.\\xa0 We discuss risk management when using hybrid agile approaches.'
