#NoEstimates - Stop lying to yourself and your customers, and stop estimating
After his successful session last year on Agile Scrum, our resident Scrum White Robe Gerard Beckerleg is at it again, except this time he's taking on one of the most divisive topics in software development: Estimation.
In this video recorded at the Sydney SSW offices, Gerard Beckerleg takes a dive into the depths of this controversial topic and extracts the most interesting ideas and raises some very difficult questions about the big white elephant in the room that is Software Estimation.
After examining the pros and cons of estimation Gerard lays the blueprint for a better way to help you and your clients get what they are really looking for.

Reinvent your sports and leisure building
This webinar discusses the design of sports, leisure and hospitality buildings for schools, sports clubs and private members clubs. I looked at innovation, futureproofing of your building, storytelling, using architectural design to help you develop a strong brand, intangible assets, and how to design a tech enabled smart asset
CTO Universe Leadership Series: An Adult Conversation About Estimates
Estimates are a contentious topic in software development. They have value in many cases but increasingly are fraught with peril. Most of our development teams hate providing estimates and many managers are starting to view them as unnecessary. As senior software leaders, how can we determine whether estimates are helpful or harmful to our teams?
We are excited to be joined by Beekey Cheung, a software consultant and blogger known as Professor Beekums, who has helped many leaders and teams go from fearing estimates to using them appropriately. He'll walk us through the value of estimates, how to overcome the hesitancy many have in giving them, and how to provide better estimates.

MEETING AGENDA 2
Meeting agenda
The Communication plan is a driven policy approach which provides information to stakeholders (Potter, 2008). The plan defines who should be given information accurately, the time that information should be delivered, and which means will be used to provide such information. There are crucial elements of why a communication plan is essential in the construction of a coffee house.
The Communication plan sets standards for how and when the communication will take place; the project manager must set the tone of all correspondence that concerns the project. This will allow the project manager to control and maintain the project and to ensure all stakeholders will receive necessary information in time. It helps in building trust among stakeholders and builds and maintains the relationship in a project.
Idea sharing and innovation in the project help a lot because stakeholders come from different backgrounds and have different levels of experiences in construction projects. This helps in creating new ideas, innovations, and applying expertise (Wysocki, 2004). It is also crucial in improvement of management of the project team and helping them in the articulation of a vision and intent of the project, helping to raise ideas, and to find potential solutions faced by the construction team.
Communication planning helps in building transparency among the stakeholders and strengthening the project relationship. It delivers positive results to every project team with high levels of project schedule when the team talks and discuss more challenging issues. It creates confidence and feedback loops to the staffs on how they are performing and how they can do to improve to the next level (Hamilton, 2001). Communication plan is essential because everyone wants to build trust, good relationship transparency, and deliver positive results in the construction project like a coffee shop.

THE CASE OF JOHN BUCKINHAM, THE NEW GUY ON THE JOB
When John Buckingham moved across the country to take a new job, he didn’t expect to run into much difficulty. He would be doing the same kind of work he was used to doing, just for a new company. But when he arrived on his first day, he realized there was more for him to adjust to than he had realized.
Clearly, John had moved to a region where the culture was much more laid back and casual than he was used to. He showed up for his first day in his usual business suit only to find that almost all the other employees wore jeans, Western shirts, and cowboy boots. Many of them merely stared awkwardly when they first saw John, and then hurriedly tried to look busy while avoiding eye contact.
John got the message. On his second day at work John also wore jeans and a casual shirt, although he didn’t yet own a pair own cowboy boots. He found that people seemed more relaxed around him, but that they continued to treat him warily. It would be several weeks—after he’d gone out and bought boots and started wearing them to work—before certain people warmed up to John enough to even talk to him.
1. What does the behavior of John’s coworkers toward John suggest about their attributions for his initial manner of dress?
2. Describe the kinds of biases that m.

Congratulations! You have just become the safety manager for Podunk University.
Your position is at the campus in Podunk, Colorado, and your predecessor left the job a year and a half ago. There has been nobody in the position during that interval. The commitment of the institution to safety is dubious at best, but you are looking forward to starting your new position and making a positive change.
After introducing yourself to the secretary you share with a half dozen other, more senior, people, you decide to focus on hazardous material and hazardous waste issues since you just completed a great college course on those topics. You tour the campus and discover that the following departments and programs are yours to deal with:
The biology department has animal dissection, human dissection, a microbiology lab, and a medical laboratory education program that uses small quantities of a lot of chemicals.
The chemistry department has chemicals that have never been inventoried and a new forensics program (as in CSI, not in college debate). BOS 3125, Hazardous Materials Management 4
The physics department has high-voltage equipment, lasers, and LEDs.
The English department has lots and lots of books and papers, as well as photocopiers.

THE CASE OF JOHN BUCKINHAM, THE NEW GUY ON THE JOB
When John Buckingham moved across the country to take a new job, he didn’t expect to run into much difficulty. He would be doing the same kind of work he was used to doing, just for a new company. But when he arrived on his first day, he realized there was more for him to adjust to than he had realized.
Clearly, John had moved to a region where the culture was much more laid back and casual than he was used to. He showed up for his first day in his usual business suit only to find that almost all the other employees wore jeans, Western shirts, and cowboy boots. Many of them merely stared awkwardly when they first saw John, and then hurriedly tried to look busy while avoiding eye contact.
John got the message. On his second day at work John also wore jeans and a casual shirt, although he didn’t yet own a pair own cowboy boots. He found that people seemed more relaxed around him, but that they continued to treat him warily. It would be several weeks—after he’d gone out and bought boots and started wearing them to work—before certain people warmed up to John enough to even talk to him.
1. What does the behavior of John’s coworkers toward John suggest about their attributions for his initial manner of dress?
2. Describe the kinds of biases that m.
