Today I am helping my kids school to reward people for wearing a seatbelt. When my kids take their seatbelt of while driving, I pull over. These days they tell me when I forget to buckle them up. For their safety and mine.
Update: We also counted the number of people wearing a seatbelt and the [...]

TeleAtlas is on of the big companies that are using Agile techniques to develop their software. When I talk with people about their GPS system, they sometimes ask me how these cards are made. This is a nice movie that shows a little bit of [...]

Op vraag van Els nog een stukje voor PC-leken.
Ikzelf heb mijn eerste stappen in de IT wereld gezet als help desk medewerker. Ik vind dat nog steeds de beste manier voor een ontwikkelaar, analyst of projetc coach om te begrijpen hoe een eindgebruiker denkt.
Een probleem dat telkens opnieuw opdook was het verschil tussen een harde [...]

On Monday 05 may & Tuesday 06 may my father and I were in Paris. Instead of visiting this beautifully city we enjoyed the people from the French Agile community.
Although the organization before was rather chaotic, XPDay.FR 2008 itself was splendid.
The first thing I noticed when we arrived was the Job Board. Hey [...]

Avoid Alliteration.
Prepositions dangle awkwardly if you use them to end sentences with.
Avoid clichés and colloquialism like the plaque, or you will seem old hat.
Employ the vernacular, while eschewing arcane and obfuscate verbiage.
Avoid ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
Take it easy with parenthetical remarks (however relevant) to avoid chopping up sentences (unnecessarily (we might add)).
To ever, however artfully, [...]

Who do you trust? And who trusts you?
Team work is about building trust inside a team. To promote the FranklinCovey course and book they have build a website: WhoTrustsYou.
I took the survey and now I am asked to send it to a lot of people.
It feels like the Facebook app Circle of Trusts.
Anyway I trust [...]

He replied with this general ask for help:

Vorige week verscheen een artikel in Bizz Magazine over BootCamp. Gino Marckx zegt daarin dat BootCamp: “Het is de beste opleiding die ik ooit heb gevolgd”
Als je geintereseerd bent in coaching-seminaries moet je zeker Bizz van Mei 2008 kopen. I quote “Bizz testte een aantal originele of populaire coaching technieken die afwijken van het traditionele [...]

Tijdens mijn tijdperk als Lodejo DJ (en veel meer) heb ik Karel Lootens leren kennen, en heb later samen met hem (en een pak anderen) Jeugdwerknet opgericht. Spijtig genoeg hebben we beiden een te druk leven met een kroost en een eigen bedrijf om elkaar IRL veel tegen te komen.
Ik ben zijn projecten wel blijven [...]

1) Mijn projecten eindigen op tijd en binnen budget zonder probleem.
2) Elk team waar ik mee gewerkt heb had een gedeelde visie
3) In vergadering doen we alleen wat resultaat opleverd
4) Niemand steekt de schuld op management of iemand anders, als ze niet krijgen wat ze willen.
5) Iedereen deelt zijn beste ideeen onmiddellijk
6) Ideeen worden onmiddellijk [...]

Does your company work with external project managers/project leaders/Project coaches? What are the advantages [...]
