Real-time analytics is a practice that analyzes this data as and when it comes into the system.

I have been in a serious relationship for more than 12 years. My partner in this relationship has brought me joy through the years, but lately, I feel like I’m giving to this relationship far more than I’m getting out of it. The relationship no longer brings me the joy that it once did, and has suffered from several breaches. The post Why I’m Breaking Up with Facebook appeared first on Tim Mitchell.

One fine day in a land called Twitter, someone posted a short video clip of their car moving itself from one parking space to an adjacent space. They said their city had imposed a 2-hour limit on parking, so they were using a special feature of the car to move it without leaving their office. The video appeared to have been shot through a second-storey window overlooking the street.

In 2018, the Agile ecosystem continued to evolve and expand. Those who have been practising agile for years (or more than a decade) seemed to be calling for a simplification of agile, proclaiming that we need to get back to basics. I can’t say I’d disagree, but I thought it would be interesting to see which of my posts were the most popular.

I usually find a diversity of opinion when I ask anyone within an organization what their products are. This is true for product companies whose primary source of revenue is their product and for companies who use products internally to run their business. This comes from a lack of shared understanding. Not having agreement on “what is our product” is particularly problematic in large enterprises that have built complex organizational structures.

As each generation comes of age, they find ways to adapt to the world (or adapt the world to themselves). I’ve been around long enough to see this a few times. But I don’t recall any generation receiving quite as much explicit attention as the Millennials. No one really worried, with respect to previous generations, about the motivations, fears, hopes, dreams, worldview, or thought process of the young people who were merging into adult society in any given decade.
