I was asked, \u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I say yes and start everything that comes my way?\u201d As we celebrate the impending publication of (it is going to the printers very soon) we continue the discussion of work intake scenarios that bedevil teams and organizations. Controlling work entry is controlling WIP which helps us be our best selves. But are there times when you have to say yes when you don\u2019t want to?\xa0\xa0 We also have a visit from Jeremy Berriault bringing his Evolutionary Agilist Column to the cast! Mr Berriault and I discussed the concept of root cause. Everybody is looking for one but very few understand the concept.\xa0 Re-Read Saturday News This week we begin the read of by Daniel S. Vacanti. This is the second of Mr. Vacanti\u2019s books we have covered in Re-read Saturday. The 260-page book includes a Preface, 14 Chapters broken into two sections, two appendices, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index (hooray).\xa0 I am planning to cover this book in approximately 16 weeks. Reviewing the book, there are several chapters that I can see combining into a single week and a few chapters that will take a couple of weeks to think through. I also suspect that I may lose one or so weekends to holidays. I am targeting completing this read on March 31st.\xa0 Buy a copy and get reading - .\xa0 The current re-read entry Week 1:\xa0 - https://bit.ly/4adgxsC \xa0 Learn to Solve IT's Dirtiest Secret! Work input, which includes prioritization and sequencing, is how work gets to an organization or team. If you get it wrong you are throwing time and money away. Simply put, poor work intake means \u201cno agile for you\u201d. Jeremy Willets and I have written tackling the topic that JRoss Publishing will publish in January 2024. In support of the book, we are building a live, workshop-based course for anyone deciding on what work gets completed!\xa0 This includes Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Project Managers, Program Managers, and Portfolio Managers - lots of people are involved which is part of the problem! The workshop will cover why work intake is the biggest challenge to teams and organizations today. Attendees will also learn what to do to solve this challenge. This cohort-based course will combine concise lectures, discussions, and exercises. It will provide space to learn and share with peers. We\u2019re using a survey to build a waitlist for the first cohort \u2013 link below. We will use the list to alert you when the workshop is available. \xa0 Next SPaMCAST\xa0 Software Process and Measurement Cast 784 will feature my conversation with Kevin Surace, AI Inventor,\xa0 Futurist and Keynote Speaker. We will discuss the hype and promise of AI.
