Scrum is an agile framework for managing projects that uses short cycles of work called sprints to incrementally deliver working software. There are three main roles in Scrum - the Product Owner prioritizes features in the Product Backlog, the Scrum Master facilitates the process, and the self-organizing Team works to complete the highest priority items each sprint. Key Scrum artifacts include the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Burn Down Chart. The main Scrum ceremonies are Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective meetings.
The document presents an overview of project management concepts. It discusses the key components of project management, which include defining project requirements and goals, estimating resources and timelines, developing a management plan, managing risks and changes, and closing the project. It also outlines the common phases, processes, and life cycle of project management. Some issues related to project management are administrative tasks, sharing resources, vendor-related work, dependencies between tasks, budget constraints, and adopting project management tools.
The Product Backlog Refinement refers to activities that help us keeping the product backlog in optimal form. This overview presents all important aspects of this important analysis activity in SCRUM.
JIRA is an issue tracking tool used by over 25,000 customers for project management and issue tracking. It allows users to create issues, organize them into projects and prioritize them.

Managing underperformance in projects is important because one poor performer can burden a team. Underperformance is defined as not meeting expectations and is often caused by a lack of skills, unclear goals, or personal issues. It can lead to delays, increased costs, and decreased productivity. Managers should identify underperformers by monitoring progress, reviewing metrics, and getting feedback. They should then address underperformance by providing support and training, clarifying expectations, and implementing consequences if needed.
Agile is an iterative approach that incrementally builds a product from the start instead of delivering it all at once near the end like the Waterfall process. The Waterfall process has several drawbacks for complex or long-term projects with unstable requirements, including not producing working software until the end and being difficult to adjust scope or accommodate changes. People shift to Agile because it better manages uncertainty, improves quality, focuses on business value and users, engages stakeholders, provides transparency, allows for early and predictable delivery, and allows for changes with predictable costs and schedules. An Agile team is composed of cross-functional members.

Shane Windmeyer and The Everyday Power of Inclusion: Why DEI Begins With UsShane Windmeyer
We often hear about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—collectively known as DEI—in big settings: corporate boardrooms, university policies, government initiatives. And while those top-down efforts are essential, DEI doesn’t begin with organizations. It begins with people.
It begins with how we greet our coworkers in the morning. How we make room for voices that are often unheard. How we recognize privilege—not with guilt, but with responsibility. It’s in the everyday. The ordinary. The personal.
Shane Windmeyer, a long-respected voice in DEI advocacy, has built his career on this very principle: that inclusion is something we create together, moment by moment. “The work of equity isn’t just policy,” he once wrote. “It’s presence. It’s awareness. It’s choosing connection, again and again.”

Alfonso Kennard_ The Impact of Emotional Intelligence on Leadership Effective...Alfonso Kennard
As defined by Alfonso Kennard, Leadership effectiveness in today’s dynamic work environment extends beyond technical knowledge and experience. Emotional intelligence (EQ) has become critical in shaping successful leaders who can inspire, motivate, and connect with their teams. Leaders with high emotional intelligence excel in understanding and managing their own emotions, as well as recognizing and influencing the feelings of others. This robust skill set helps them navigate challenges, foster collaboration, and drive performance in ways that traditional leadership styles cannot match.
The Resurgence of US Industrial Policy - 2024 Babbage ForumDavid Teece
When attempting to best understand, optimize, and implement modern supply side economics (MSS) in the context of industrial policy, it is necessary to consider aspects including the following:
* Target human and organizational capabilities.
* Need to understand that Chinese government has “shaped” key markets (e.g. electric vehicles, semiconductors) so that market solutions are not “clean” but distorted.
* Need private sector to take a longer term view.
* Need a framework for understanding ordinary, superordinary, and dynamic capabilities… their origins and evolution… to form a better national industrial strategy.

• No working software is produced until end of the life cycle
• High risk and uncertainty
• Poor model for long and ongoing projects
• Not suitable for the projects where requirements are not stable
• Difficult to measure progress within stages
• Cannot accommodate changing requirements

14. Product Backlog in Scrum
The Product Backlog
contains the wish list of all
the User Stories that would
make the product great.
15. User Story
• In Scrum, features are known as User Stories
• Written from the perspective of the end-user.
• The Product Owner, representing the users and customers of the
product, decides which User Stories make it into the Product
Backlog.
16. Release Backlog
The goal of Release Backlog is to
deliver a subset of the Product
Backlog
After identifying which User
Stories will go into a
particular Release, they
become part of a Release
Backlog.
17. Estimations
Then User Stories are prioritized by the Development
Team, who also estimate the amount of time involved to
complete each item.
18. Estimation Technique: Time
A simple technique is to create estimating
buckets where User Stories fall into a
complexity bucket.
19. Estimation Technique: Story Points
Estimate work in comparison to the
complexity of a well known but simple
component.
20. Sprint Backlog
• Each Sprint takes a manageable
chunk of the Release Backlog and
gets it to a Ship-Ready state!
• Usually, a sprint is 2-4 weeks long
21. Sprint Backlog
At the end of each Sprint,
you should have a fully
tested product with all the
features of the Sprint 100%
complete.
22. Burndown Charts
The slope of the graph or Burndown Velocity is the
average rate of productivity for each day.
The Burndown Chart provides a
day-by-day measure of the
amount of work that remains in
a given Sprint or Release.
23. Burndown Charts
Knowing whether the project is on
time or not early in the schedule,
can help teams make the proper
adjustments necessary to get the
project on track.
24. Daily Standup Meeting
Short daily standup meetings (The
Daily Scrum) ensure everything is
on track and everyone has the
tools they need.
25. Daily Standup Meeting
Team members list the work they
have completed since the last
meeting, any obstacles in their
way, and what they are going to
do next.
