"the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer" from Ward Cunningham (more)

Traditional "management", even most software product management, is Industrial-Age Command-and-Control thinking that is net-negative for managing creatives. We need a re-framing of Agile Software Development with a business-building software Product Development mindset. Rapidly Iterative based on FeedBack. A bit post-Lean-Startup. Product-Led, Customer-Driven. (more)

Chris Aldrich: Creating a commonplace book or zettelkasten index from Hypothes.is hashtags. I thought it might be useful to have a relatively complete list of cross linked topical headings in my digital notebook (currently Obsidian) which is a mélange of wiki, zettelkasten, journal, project management tool, notebook, and productivity tool (more)

Triggered by Mike Caulfield's Jul'2015 posts (emphasis on curating, connecting, annotations) plus others' responding/riffing, want to start over without even assuming wiki. (more)

Technorati Tags: Why Do Bad Ideas Keep Resurfacing? If you weren't using the Web in the 1990s this may seem new and wonderful to you but the fact is we've all seen this before. The so-called Technorati Tags are glorified HTML META tags with all their attendant problems. The reason all the arguments in Shelley's blog post seemed so familiar is that a number of them are the same ones Cory Doctorow made in his article Metacrap from so many years ago. (cf hashtag)

Jon Udell: Mapping people and tags on Mastodon. In Mastodon relationship graphs I showed how to use Steampipe to map Mastodon network neighborhoods. When I use the word map here, I’m channeling Denis Wood’s The Power of Maps: Every map shows this … but not that, and every map shows what it shows this way … but not the other way. (more)

Martin Cagan and Joakim Sunden: The Product Model at Spotify. I don’t think they get the credit in the product community they deserve. I believe that’s mostly because people that think they know “The Spotify Model” are focused on the wrong things, and not what has made them such a strong, long-term competitor (more)

Henrik Kniberg: Scaling (PDF) Agile at Spotify. Dealing with multiple teams in a product development organization is always a challenge! One of the most impressive examples we’ve seen so far is Spotify, which has kept an agile mindset despite having scaled to over 30 teams across 3 cities. (more)

Itamar Gilad: Why you should stop using product roadmaps and try the GIST Framework. Here’s what I used to do:... there is almost no room for agility — changes at the top cause huge ripple effects of replanning and project cancellations at the bottom. Agile development addressed project waterfall, but didn’t change planning waterfall. So, what’s the alternative? GIST. (more)
