Prefacing an introduction of the practice with this saying helps as people will generally agree with its merits so they are more likely to be receptive to the concept of non solo work

A few months ago we looked at how teams can optimize flow across the Sprint boundary , a technique which is founded on their ability to make limited and sustainable commitments.

JUNE 12, 2019
Feeling out of shape? Switching from a spreadsheet to social media doesn’t count as exercise at work. Taking a bathroom break doesn’t count as an aerobic workout, either.
