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.

Hi all.
Just wanted to let you know I am on the road most of the month of September… check out www.michaelvizdos.com/enroll for what is coming.
If you know people looking for a class, check out that site.
If you want to just get together when I am in town… let me know.
I am about to go off the grid until Tuesday next week.
Wow. I realize time is flying.
Since my fathers diagnosis and death back in April, you know I have been off my “game.”
I want to get back into it.
The good news is right now I get to meet people where I visit.
Would love to talk to *you* more.
Respond and it will be next week when I get back to you.
Thank you so much for sticking with me.
We still have *lots* to learn from each other!
Keep with me please.
It will be worth it for the both of us — and to the Scrum community as a whole. I promise.
Many apologies for where I am today.
From ashes the Phoenix will rise.
I need you for this to happen.
Thank you.

Hi all,
Thanks to all my new subscribers and for all my existing subscribers for helping me pass the word out on this site. I have been heads down lately with client work, and I am now in the process of creating a new pipeline of cartoons with Tony for some upcoming series.
I was thinking though… we have a TON of GREAT comic strips out here today (almost 100).
Interested in becoming a guest poster using one of the existing comic strips out there?
Well… here’s how… contact me and let me know which comic strip you’d like to write about. I’ll post your write-up on my site using my comic strip with your name attributed to the write-up.
Why would I want to do this?
Well… I know after I have written many blog entries with the comic strips I’d like to add to it or totally re-write it.
I can’t be the only one.
So… if you are interested in becoming a guest writer for an existing comic strip on the site www.implementingscrum.com, contact me and let’s talk!
I’ll be off the “work circuit” for few weeks. I have a trip planned with my older son Dominic next week… but I will have some time to write and make some cool new things available for you, my constant reader.
Thank you.
Hi all.
I have a lot of assumptions about what people need from this site (www.implementingscrum.com) and the community we have been building here over the years.
As you know, I love doing what I do here….
Here is what I also know… I sometimes make an ASS out of U and ME by making assumptions.
So.
Write me. Call me. Contact me via twitter. Leave something on Face Book. Leave comments here.
I need to know.
From you.
Please 
.
Thank you!

Hi all,
Quick update on life in my world… Welcome all new subscribers (via email and RSS). I like to try and update everyone at least once-a-month so you know where I will be and where we can meet!
I am on my way to London in a few hours and will be facilitating a free talk tomorrow night. If you are around, please stop by!
I am then teaching in London for a few days (a few seats still open – contact me) and then will play tourist on Saturday, leaving on Sunday. After arriving home Sunday night, I’ll be heading to Raleigh, NC (actually, Cary) on Monday night to teach a class there on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll be home with my boys for a few days (then they go on a cool vacation) and I am headed to Boise, Idaho and Phoenix, Arizona. I’ll be on the road around the world a lot (as usual) for the remainder of the year. Please contact me if you’d like to meet in person.
I have just received the next comic strip, which I should be posting while I am in London. If you enjoy gummy bears this one is for you!
I am starting to vet jobs for distribution at www.implementingscrum.com/scrum-jobs. Take a look there and let me know if it interests you. It is free. Also… it is international (anyone interested in Vietnam?). If you have some REAL jobs within your organization, this is the place to let some very high qualified people know about them!
There are some great things coming — as usual. I always want to hear your comments so please keep those coming to me too.
Have a great day/evening.
Change your world today.
