Interested in becoming a Certified ScrumMaster? Come to my next workshop!
Hi,
I sincerely apologize for not posting a lot of new information each week (like I used to do — with new comic strips and very useful write-ups).
Here are the top five impediments for me, and as I break through them the consistency of this site will pick up once again…..
1) Family. My father passed away in April. While I know it has been a long time, it is still an issue with me and I am working through it. I’ve also got some other pressing family matters that are being taken care of as I write this. You’ll learn more about that stuff in some upcoming posts.
2) FaceBook. I have found that using facebook is a very powerful medium to “meet” old and new friends for connections. I can be found there at http://www.facebook.com/ImplementingScrum.
3) Twitter. Wow. Talk about instant feedback. This is the place I can get it — and share with others immediately. If you are not connected to me there please take the time and do it here: http://twitter.com/mvizdos.
4) I have been traveling the world and one of the new things I am working on is another book. I should be under contract soon, so that takes some priorities away from available time for me.
5) Clients. And I want to say a sincere THANK YOU SO MUCH for connecting with me as either a potential client, current client, or new client. And. Thank you for paying me. I have seen such tremendous change in the world (and I have been around the world a LOT lately!) and really do see that — when applied correctly — Scrum can truly transform the way we work.
So.
That’s my list and I am sticking to it. As I slowly remove barriers in order to get out new comics — or use some of the almost 100 on the site with new write-ups and lessons learned — they will start coming again.
Thank you for being either an email subscriber or RSS reader.
Keep the comments coming.
Remember.
This site is for you — the Scrum Community!
Thank you.

This only happens once (more if you are using multiple computers). Once you are in the system, everything is good to go after that.

Hi Mike. I came over here from the Problogger forum to check out your list. That was a really good idea for a list. Informative and meaningful. Nice.

I am sorry about your dad. That must be pretty hard. Great idea for a list post. Very original. I’m learning about Facebook’s advantages myself. In fact, just recently a cousin I haven’t seen in ages contacted me through FB. And the best advice I can give you for overcoming life’s trails – thank God everyday for everything you have that is good.
