Juggling Handoffs

Kick in the air,
A ball full of beans.  
Only to find,
that gravity wins.  

Grab a few friends,
And head to the park.
Take off your socks,
To sink into the grass.  

Eye down your partner,
To gain a layer of trust.
When the roundkick is unsuccessful,
The unexpecting toe keeps it airborne.  

Your sunset goal,
Is to circle the group.
Which is so simple,
Yet easily failed.  

Keeping a rhythm,
Is all you need.
But finding the friends,
Is the trick indeed.  

Expect honest not accuracy

As a Scrum agile practitioner; I spend downtime thinking about simple ways to say powerful things.  I have been setting my team expectations on two things, Transparent and Proactive.  Adding to the list is expecting honesty in estimating.  I did not say accuracy.  All humans are poor estimators.  I would rather have honesty than accuracy.  Better data is better forecasting.  I see new words to line the workplace; transparent, proactive and honest team members can conquer the moon.
