Charting unknown Waters
The Logbook of agile tales. Navigating complexity one entry at a time.
Responsibility Bingo
Logbook Entry#15
Whose job is it to sharpen the axe? That question is already the first step away from taking responsibility. About tools, blame, projections, and the game that nobody wins.
Controlling AI-Machinery
Logbook Entry#11
AI makes building fast. But who checks if you're building the right thing? Speed without validation isn't efficiency. It's waste with the fast-forward button held down.
The Addiction to Urgency (Part 2/2)
Logbook Entry#09
Planning at 100% means you're already at 150%. Part 2 asks: if you had room, would you actually use it or would the system fill it before Monday's standup?
The Addiction to Urgency (Part 1/2)
Logbook Entry#08
Your brain mistakes pressure for productivity. Cortisol sharpens focus, dopamine rewards the crunch and your prefrontal cortex pays the bill. Why content teams win.
The Red Line
Logbook Entry#05
Priority without criteria is just noise. When everything is labeled urgent, nothing is urgent. The Result: a system that keeps running on declarations instead of decisions.
Simple Complexity
Logbook Entry#04
Hidden complexity doesn't go away. It shows up as meetings, spreadsheets, and sleepless nights. When a tool is simpler than your work, you're not reducing complexity. You're hiding it.
