The essentials of data-driven marketing.

Domo

Click-to-cash should be the goal of any marketer looking to map their impact. But when you’re constantly bombarded with data from social media, email, CRM, and hundreds of other systems and applications, it can be hard to figure out what to track.

Why Executives Don’t Go to Agile Conferences

Agile Coach

I worked at an organization years ago that was almost put under by a postal strike. Let’s say at the time, cash flow was a problem. The owner had to put in a substantial chunk of his own savings to make payroll, all because of a 3-ish week strike.

Roman Pichler

Manage the Product, not the Team. Focus on your job as the product manager or product owner, and manage the product, not the team. Provide guidance on the product, including its market, value proposition, business goals, and key features. But let the ScrumMaster or coach tackle people, process, and organisational issues; let the development team figure out what needs to be done to implement the user stories and other product backlog items.
