    People in your workplace don’t know shit. There are a few who know stuff but the majority is dumb, careless or the combination of the two. Surprisingly the higher you go the more dumb and careless there are. We are designing monster billion dollar construction projects and some of my colleagues have problems with understanding written english. Others cannot learn a software that has literally 3 buttons in them they have to press. I don’t even know sometimes why I am trying.

      I’m now a scrum master in a government IT team. I asked my team - all new to the work - to do hands on practice of the new systems, try a first stab at building our changes. Our changes were done in the second sprint (a sprint is two weeks of work)

      Another team with probably weaker leadership, and maybe fewer competent workers spent six sprints (12 weeks!) “learning” and is unlikely to finish their work before Christmas

      Management think my team’s great, but I think we’re mediocre, just tall among dwarfs
