Hi all, I am Tormod 🇳🇴🇸🇪 (he / him)

My days are spent as a consultant in enterprise IT organizations, mainly focusing on teamwork and the people side of delivery. In particular with coaching, processes and enabling teams to work better together across departments and vendors.

My passions are in the areas of #photography, #graphicdesign, #typography and #music. And, of course, family ❤️

Happy to talk to anyone, and I will assume you're awesome until proven otherwise.

Looks like Sydney Trains is going to drop the jargon from its PA announcements.

    De-plane is kinda horrible as it implies a preceding announcement of “we are now ready to plane the aircraft, please have your boarding pass ready”.

  • WhatsApp is getting an AI chatbot because of course it is

    Adding ChatGPT to chat apps will save users a lot of copy/pasting, right. South Park perfectly described a use case last year.

  • Are agile scrums an outdated idea?

    Yes, you are absolutely correct AJ. "Enterprise Agile" is its own beast, and where we usually need to start at higher management levels. Education is important for them to understand their new roles.

    Without buy-in and active collaboration towards "real agile" from managers, we will not succeed in moving away from micromanaged waterfall.

    As always, it depends on what problem you need to solve. I still think these methodologies are sound as long as you ADHERE TO THE CORE PRINCIPLES.

    It's not about reporting or speed, but rather communication and quality delivered at a sustainable pace. It's also about collaboration with the user/customer. Management often don't understand this (or chooses not to).

    A stable, mature team should be able to do every-other-daily, but scheduled check-ins are valuable.
