Toronto ScrumMaster Clinic Meetup

Acknowledgment. This meetup is made possible by the support of many members of the Toronto Agile community who kindly share their time and experience to facilitate the free clinics – while supporting and mentoring those starting out on their journeys.

“ScrumMaster clinics provide a health check for newly practicing ScrumMasters. Facilitated by experienced ScrumMasters and coaches the clinic is a place to come to share your struggles, offer ideas, listen and learn, and become rejuvenated in your work.” – Tobias Mayer

The ScrumMaster Clinic initiative began in London in July 2017 and has quickly spread to other cities around the world. To hold the spirit of the original London clinics the founders offer these seven principles, which, if embraced, will act as guiding agreements for any new clinic.

1. The clinics will always be free, but voluntary donations can be collected to cover room costs and refreshments.
2. Each clinic will have more than one facilitator, to avoid creating a cult of personality, or any form of dependence.
3. Facilitators are volunteers.
4. Facilitators are more experienced than participants, or have particular knowledge or skills to share.
5. Over time, regular attendees will begin to mentor new attendees.
6. Over more time, regular mentors will become facilitators.
7. Anyone can start their own ScrumMaster Clinic initiative whenever and wherever they like, and may or may not embrace these agreements.

Things to Do Before Going on Vacation

Most of the world sets goals and makes resolutions all the time, however, very few percents of people actually stick to those resolutions. While it’s entirely possible that many people are being unrealistic with their goals, the number one thing you need to do before going on a vacation is to write down your achievements and goals. Doing this will set you up to be productive and enables you to go into your vacation with a clear direction and positive attitude. Part of setting realistic goals and priorities is reflecting on what you’ve accomplished in the past. Here are few good questions to ask yourself: How many accounts did you manage? How much in sales volume did you secure? Did you reduce cost? How many clients did you interact with? Did you surpass a quota? Did you manage a team? If so, how many team members did you manage? Did you work with any notable clients or vendors? Did you secure a...

11 Things Smart People Don't Say

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. There are some things you simply never want to say at work. These phrases carry special power: they have an uncanny ability to make you look bad even when the words are true. Worst of all, there’s no taking them back once they slip out. I’m not talking about shocking slips of the tongue, off-color jokes, or politically incorrect faux pas. These aren’t the only ways to make yourself look bad. Often it’s the subtle remarks -- the ones that paint us as incompetent and unconfident -- that do the most damage. No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, there are certain phrases that instantly change the way people see you and can forever cast you in a negative light. These phrases are so loaded with negative implications that they undermine careers in short order.

The Large Magellanic Cloud comes alive in a 240 megapixel image

Ciel Austral is a team of five very enthusiastic amateur French astronomers, Jean Claude Canonne, Philippe Bernhard, Didier Chaplain, Nicolas Outters, and Laurent Bourgon, who own and operate their own telescope in northern Chile. The 14400×14200 image was stitched together from nearly 4,000 separate images that required 1,060 hours (6.3 weeks) of exposures shot from July 2017 to January 2019. It took two computers eight days to stitch together the photos, and a further two months to process the 620 gigabytes of data. If you could warp yourself to the Magellanic Cloud, it wouldn't look like the dreamy, painterly image pictured above. Much of the image is made up of false colors that show the different elements present in the image. Different colors represent hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen III, emphasizing the cloud-like high-density gas nebulae in a way that a standard visible light image can't. The image shows the birth and death of stars and the aftermath, including super...
