So, what does a Project Manager actually do?

So, what does a Project Manager actually do?Ah, the eternal question. What does a PM actually do?Well, most people think it’s the easiest job in the world — after all, you just tell everyone else what to do, right?Sure, if you also enjoy being the middle child in a family of stress-addicted workaholics with a taste for crises.In the last decade or so, I’ve worked in everything from Fortune 500 companies (you know, those lovely corporate havens where everyone’s too busy pretending to be productive)

Are You Protecting Your Team Against the Right Thing? - Mike CohnA lot has been written and said about the responsibility of a Scrum Master to protect the team.Examples of protecting the team typically involve running interference with well-meaning but overzealous product owners, stakeholders, and managers. Teams run into trouble all the time from people who want it all now or who keep adding more work in the middle or a sprint. Scrum Masters keep all that noise away so that the team can focus on

The Black Friday That Bought a Neighborhood BackThe Bell & Book was a tiny independent bookstore wedged between a dry cleaner and a pawnshop on a corner that hadn’t seen much sparkle in years. Its owner, Marta, had run it for twenty years: poetry nights, school field-trip discounts, repair-your-soul advice between the biographies. Two months before Thanksgiving, a national big-box retailer announced a shiny new superstore three blocks away. Marta watched foot traffic thin out like coffee in a

The Thanksgiving Sprint — an AgileDad storyIt started two years ago in a neighborhood I know well — a mix of veterans, young families, recent transplants, and folks who’d been in the same house so long they remembered when the stoplight at the corner was just a tree. Someone on the block said aloud what people often think but don’t say: “We’ve got plenty, but a lot of us are missing the parts that make Thanksgiving feel like Thanksgiving.”So we did what agilists do when a problem’s fuzzy: we created

What Makes a Great Product Manager?

2025/11/24

What Makes a Great Product Manager?When I first stepped into product management, I had no idea what I was signing up for. I thought it was about building cool features, running a few sprints, and celebrating launch days with cake and confetti. What I didn’t expect? The emotional rollercoaster of stakeholder battles, last-minute pivots, and the constant juggling between what’s ideal and what’s possible.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠-

A Home That Rebuilt a Life” — the story of Army veteran Sean KarpfAfter stepping on an IED in Afghanistan, Army Sergeant Sean Karpf faced years of surgeries, rehab, and the long, slow work of rebuilding a life altered by injury. What changed everything was not a single miracle but a community-backed act of care: Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) built and donated a specially adapted, mortgage-free home designed around Sean’s needs — roll-in shower, widened doorways, lowered counters, a 360° outdoor

10 Mistakes Enterprises Make When Scaling Agile — and How to Avoid ThemWhen I walk into a Fortune 500 boardroom and hear, “We’ve adopted Agile,” I brace myself. Usually, what follows is a whirlwind of rebranded status meetings, overwhelmed middle managers, and teams confused about whether they’re sprinting or slowly marching in circles.Enterprise Agile transformations are rarely short on ambition. But too often, the reality is a mismatched combination of frameworks, tool obsession, and unclear

If You Want Better Stories, Stop Writing Them All YourselfI’ve talked to a lot of product owners who are drowning in tickets, trying to “get ahead” by writing every single user story themselves.I used to be one of them. And every sprint, we’d slip. Morale tanked. The team blamed the process, and I blamed myself.But after one conversation — and one uncomfortable realization — I found a single thread running through every success story I’ve seen since.How to connect with AgileDad:-

Trick-or-treaters Leave Their Halloween Candy For Child Battling LeukemiaA search for hope at the end of this very anxious week led me to this humble bundle. Zoe, 3, is the proud product of TJ and Courtney Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia.Back in February, Zoe was diagnosed with leukemia. And because her immune system is now compromised, she couldn't go trick-or-treating on Halloween with all the other kids. In fact, her parents even had to put up a sign to keep other kids away.

The Only Three Things You Must Do To Improve Agility - Mike CohnDistilled to its essence, it’s quite simple to be a Scrum Master, agile coach, or anyone seeking to improve team or organizational agility. There are only three things you need to do and Saint Francis laid them out succinctly over 800 years ago: To improve agility, we have to start with what’s necessary.

When Agile Meets ResistanceYou’ve probably heard Agile being described as a novel way of navigating productivity at work, that it could boost collaboration, and uplift your teams into a well-oiled machine. That’s what they say, but how true is this? Especially in the IT culture?In reality, when Agile is incorporated into traditional IT culture, it seems like a wreck than a harmonious integration.

In most cases, all you need is to hire highly-experienced Tech Leads and show trust in them.

With six brothers and sisters, a part-time job at her dad’s sno-cone stand, and a barely-used TikTok account, she launched a wildly ambitious idea: what if 130,000 people each sent $1 to help her family buy the house?A month in, Bella has already raised about
