- have a manager-backlog, put task on Taskboard
- tasks to assign to a manager:
- how does the company smartly spend resources (e.g. 3 teams do the same thing)
- help your Boss succeed
- measure bugs, commits, deployments, stories
- => not personalized
- the more the manager is successful, the more the team is successful, more trust, more freedom
- "Its amazing what you can accomplish, when nobody care who takes the credit"
- Let the manager get the credit
- Keep up a good communication
- think different
- normally, if you find something that works, you stick with it
- have empathy for people that need to adopt a new way of thinking
- start with the user
- make experiments, measure behavior
- how does this solve the user problem? Light Bulb moments, which questions changed my way of thinking?
- Ask questions to guide people
- Why are project plans useless?
- Do we hire smart, capable and rational?
- Does everyone have the right information to make good choises?
- Is everybody working hard?
