 agile estimation

The truth is, agile estimation is a team sport. It requires transparency and dedication from the entire team and the benefits are well worth the effort. The better you get at estimating work, the better you get at planning, and the less weekends and nights you end up working. Involving everyone (developers, designers, testers, deployers... everyone) on the team is key. Each team member brings a different perspective on the product and the work required to deliver a user story.

Here are some helpful tips for getting your team started with agile estimation using story points, hours, t-shirt sizes, and everything in between.

Gewalt and vocabulary far fetched 2024

 There is no English word that conveys the true meaning of the German word „Gewalt“. „Gewalt“ is the brutal execution of elemental might and force, but it is far above all might and all force. Gewalt exists in different and relative forms, one example being a „gewalttätige Gesinnung“ – expression from the character, personality, thoughts, feelings and emotions that shows the inclination to act with Gewalt. When human beings possess or carry out acts of Gewalt and it is not based in logic, then this usually involves violence, brutality, degradation and is terribly destructive.

The Last Mustang poem

 the last mustang poem

he was born in the time of the turning of leaves

in a moonlit valley by a swift, foamy stream

the days gave him strength bringing courage and pride

‘til he challenged the elders matching their strides

then the group lagged behind for he ran like the breeze

so he’d stop for a moment near the shade of the trees

while the sun warmed his mane and the wind cooled his fur

this lanky young colt led the last mustang herd

 

he led them thru seasons that soon became years

thru trials, past treasons, and over their fears

but his fear was as piercing as the wolf’s howl at night

the two-leggers closed in and he foresaw their might,

as they swam in the river one crystal clear day

the beasts and their ropes took his brothers away

and they were hot on his trail but he galloped assured

‘til he realized the fall of the last mustang herd

 

when he finally stopped running, he scuffed and he cried

they’ll not capture me, for my freedom i’ll die

he bolted and snorted with angry hoof beats

and climbed the tall mountain embracing its peak

now against an orange sunset in a wild western sky

stands a picturesque stallion with head held so high

and he dreams of the place where his heart will unfurl

to again lead the charge of the last mustang herd
