Read our perspectiveNot every presentation needs slides, but when they earn their place, they work as a visual channel that complements the speaker rather than replacing them. Sumeet Gayathri Moghe sets out the principles that follow from that idea — control over the rate of knowledge exposition, tight coupling between slides and speaker, minimalism by default, visuals that say more than words can, and never sending your slides out in advance. more…
Image Most Scrum Teams don't miss their Sprint forecast because they estimate badly. They miss it because they plan against hours that never existed.Picture a Sprint Planning I have watched play out, in one form or another, in dozens of organisations. Five Developers. A two-week Sprint. Someone at the whiteboard does the quick maths: five people, ten days, six focused hours a day. "We have 300 hours." Heads nod. The Product Backlog items get pulled in until the number feels full.Ten days later, at the Sprint Review, three items are not Done. Nobody slacked off. Nobody estimated wildly wrong. T
Image Click here to read and download the magazine. The first high-quality magazine for the Scrum world is now live. This is the second issue, October 2026.WHY SCRUM TEAM MAGAZINE? Many sectors like jewellery, watches, decoration, film, and fashion already have their own exquisite, luxurious, high-quality publications, yet the Scrum community has no such equivalent. To address this, I have decided to create a publication that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of Scrum professionals. Something that significantly raises the bar. My goal is to produce a magazine that serves those who de
In this post, I’m going to share ten career traps thoughtful people often find themselves ensnared in.
Image Release day. The feature goes out, the team channel fills with rocket emoji, the demo lands well, and someone says "great job, everyone." Monday, the next thing starts. Three months later, in some steering meeting, somebody asks the question: did that feature actually change anything? Silence. Then the honest answer, in its usual costume: "We'd have to pull the numbers." Nobody pulls the numbers. The meeting moves on, and so does everyone else. Here's the tell. On your team, delivery has everything: a date, an owner, a checklist, a party. The result has nobody. No name attached, no momen
I'm at OpenAI DevDay today, in Fort Mason, San Francisco. Same as last year I'll be live blogging the keynote and some other notes during the day.

A Sensible Default is a practice that, absent some overriding context, should be used when carrying out a certain kind of task. In software development such sensible defaults might include things like “use version control”, “separate UI logic from domain logic”, “automate deployment pipelines”. The term “sensible default” is a deliberate contrast to “best practice”. Folks dislike calling things “best practice” because that term implies a general presumption that the best practice is something we should always expect to do. A “sensible default”, however, is something that should be reassessed i
Image Product Owners are accountable for maximizing the value of the product. That means setting direction, establishing the Product Goal, and ordering the Product Backlog around what matters most.But accountability doesn't mean doing everything yourself. Great Product Owners delegate work that others can do so they can protect their time for strategy.The Product Owner owns the direction and desired outcomes. The Scrum Team determines how those outcomes get delivered.Great Product Owners know what to own and what to delegate. Here are 5 places to start.1.) Don't be the team's copy editorI once
Simon Willison: The more time I spend working with coding agents, the more convinced I am that they make software engineering even harder We can do amazing things with them, but unlocking their full potential requires extraordinary discipline and knowledge This has been a constant impression I get from following Willison’s writing. While things like vibe coding get a lot of attention, the real strength of agentic programming relies on more sophisticated techniques - and these are not easy to learn or execute. It’s a reason I’m wary of extrapolating my own dabblings into firm opinions about how
Originally published on yuvalyeret.com.Why More AI Activity Is Not Showing Up In The BusinessYou can 10x engineering and still not 10x the business.AI agents are getting very good at coding, debugging, test generation, documentation, and a lot of engineering activities. That is real in many organizations. But if engineering was not the constraint to begin with, or now stops being the constraint because of these improvements, faster engineering output may just create more work waiting somewhere else. The leadership question is changing from "how do we make teams faster?" to "where does this spe
Learning from the PSM class alone is not enough for New Scrum Masters. To effectively apply their knowledge in the field, they require extra, enriched content and support. So, let’s explore how I enriched the PSM class. Image Imagine you join a PSM class and you learn a lot from it. However, the day after the class, you suddenly feel alone. You don't know where to start. You don't know which steps you should take first to best serve your Scrum Team.This is the reason that I decided to enrich my PSM class. I want my students to leave the class with an exceptional experience of learning and seve
On Friday I gave the closing keynote at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America in San Jose. I tied together the key trends from the past year into a chronological exploration of everything that happened in 2026. The video is on YouTube; here are my annotated slides and notes to accompany the talk. And as an annotated presentation: # I'm going to give a lightning tour of everything that has happened so far in 2026. The year isn't over yet! # For me, 2026 started a couple of months earlier in November 2025. # November saw the release of two important models: Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT-5.1
