Prioritization Outside Your Span of Control, Getting Leadership Right, Conversations and Essays Software Process and Measurement Cast

At the end of the year, planning and prioritization take center stage. We can only really prioritize work, needs, and dreams that are within our span of control. That does not stop people from trying to prioritize work that is not theirs to prioritize.  We also have a visit from Susan Parente who brings her I’m Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the cast.  This month we talk about getting leadership right. It is possible! Re-Read Saturday News  As 2021 comes to a close we bring our re-read of t to a close as well (buy a copy and dive into the book - Amazon Affiliate link). The conclusion of the book brings the discussion back as a reflection on the turning point of the Age of Software.  Catch up on previous installments: Week 1: -   Week 2: -   Week 3: -   Week 4: - Week 5: -   Week 6: -   Week 7: -  Week 8: -     Week 9: -   Week 10: -   Week 11: -    Next SPaMCAST  Next week, we will have a special show.
