I haven't dug into Core Protocols for years. Has there been a resource on their effective use within remote teams?

@profoundlynerdy Agile is supposed to be empirical. That is the other end of the spectrum of religion, which is about faith and belief.
How did we get so far from the original ideas?
It could be simply that empiricism is difficult. Once you have a tool like any of the agile practices that lets you see problems it’s on you to take action to fix them. It’s infinitely easier to not do anything differently and say the tool doesn’t work.
As we approach the New Year, people think about setting resolutions, and personal goals. Organizations almost certainly already have goals in place. Maybe not.
What are your goal setting practices? Have you set yourself up for success in 2025? into 2026? “And beyond”?
@peterdrake I would have voted for XP for what it’s worth. For software development, XP is the most disciplined and at the same time provides a path to team and individual autonomy to define processes that make sense in context. From XP roots, it’s not difficult to adapt to Scrum and kanban concepts.
@ewisniowski I don't see you on twitter, but I posted your link there <3
@ewisniowski thank you for writing this. It resonated today :)

Hello folks,
While waiting for people to get back to me, I have a lemony fresh blog talking about the Discover / Capital One merger and how that will impact the Agile profession.
https://www.edyouragilecoach.com/capital-ones-purchase-of-discover-and-what-it-means-for-agile/
The concentration in the consumer credit business will impact all of us, and we had better prepare for it.

A new note will be played today in John Cage's "Organ2 /ASLSP" (as slowly and softly as possible)
If you’re in a hurry, that part starts around 7 min in. … you will want to go back and listen to the whole thing though I promise
This is where she premiered “Gramercy Park” — great insight for people who are always giving — don’t lose yourself — listen to her she is for real 💞

The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books
Librarians are amazing.
They were known as the “book women.” They would saddle up, usually at dawn, to pick their way along snowy hillsides and through muddy creeks with a simple goal: to deliver reading material to Kentucky’s isolated mountain communities.

@tdpauw I'm enjoying the read -- well written. It could easily be a book. I made it as far as the "But Compliance" section and have this feedback for you. Impact Mapping is more about mapping potential benefits to customers and prioritizing new features. In the context of risks, you might want to mention impact analysis, and risk matrices, for example:
