Wakelet Review, and teams integration

At first glance, I was really excited to see Wakelet. Waklet allows sharing content from across the web. Let’s show you around. It allows you to save everything in a central location that can easily be shared, viewed and consumed at a later time.  You start off by picking some categories of things you like, or what you do.

 

I’ve been building a few different pages that I can use to consume different content.  Where this tool becomes really powerful is when combine it with the education community.  It allows quick dissemination of information to students.  It also integrates really well with teams.

 

Overall, it is a really cool product.

Scrum Master and a few thoughts

Scrum1

 

I guess just a few thoughts on the scrum master certification. I would like to start by saying that I think our trainer was fantastic.  I found his teaching style aligned perfectly with my learning style, which was a true treat.  I liked the group activities, and the group learning style.  His explanations made perfect sense to me, and the model seems to be a good fit for organizations.

The only thing about the course, I wish we had gotten more into the hybrid model.  I honestly do not believe that most companies can run true scrum.  I mean, no managers, no QA, full agile development.  This does not come off to me as realistic.  I’ve worked a lot of companies, I’ve consulted at hundreds more.  I just don’t see a full scum set up in the field.

 

Overall, I would recommend getting the certification, although the test wasn’t as hard as I would of hoped.
