Sprints are like a water tumbler
A sprint of one week is like a small bamboo water tumbler. Sprints of three weeks are larger, heavier and tumble a three times slower than the one week tumbler.
Your organization is like a web of bamboo water tumblers. Make sure they tumble with a synchronous or syncopic rhythm.
Rhythm creates momentum, momentum synchronizes all pulses in your organization.
Syncopation includes a variety of rhythms which are in some way unexpected which make an off-beat tune or piece of music. More simply, syncopation is a general term for a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm: a placement of rhythmic stresses or accents where they wouldn’t normally occur.
All dance music makes use of syncopation and it’s often a vital element that helps tie the whole track together.

Parachute Game
We started the morning with a parachute game.
Start at ground level, hold it over your head and do three steps forward. Next, sit on it. There it is, a parachute mushroom.

Just let me know if you would like a sketch that’s a bit more polished, and I’ll draw one up.
ScrumPLoP Sunset
First day. Saturday, April 30. Queens Day in The Netherlands. Spotless blue sky. Arrived an hour late due to the diesel train to Tisvildeleje waiting for an hour on Hillerød station. Anyway, the trip was wonderful, as was nature.
Warm reception when I finally arrived at Helenekilde Badehotel, almost at the end of the world. Dinner was fine. The wine was too. The company even more so. We hat a great time and good laughs.
Sunset was awesome.
Tisvildeleje seems to be the end of the world…
Ready Equals Done
Scrum has much ado about Definition of Ready and Definition of Done.
The Definition of Ready for the current phase equals the Definition of Done for the previous. Likewise, the Definition of Done for the current phase equals the Definition of Ready for the next. They are the two sides of the same membrane.
So, why not simplify it and talk about the membrane only?
