Johnny Blaze catches Blackheart, son of Satan, in his apartment, where he is searching for a contract that would cede him the souls of Earth. The two fight briefly.

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.

It’s not that it’s an especially complicated thing, but there is often confusion about things like why many people prefer to use story points instead of hours, why some people feel compelled to try and convert story points to hours (and why some of us find that so frightening), how t-shirt sizing works, and the eternal question of how do I get my teams to estimate accurately.

It’s one thing to know your job and be in a position of authority. It’s another to be able to work with other departments to cultivate morale and truly drive the business forward. About 10 years ago, my wife and I moved to Minnesota and bought a 2006 Toyota Corolla, leaving a vehicle-free East Coast life in the rearview mirror.
