Anything by Henrik Kniberg

Agile: Where Are We At?

Michelle recommends the entire video, but here are some pointed highlights
- Traditional project management approach versus Agile approach
  - 2:20 to 6:00
- Great resource utilization demo and the importance of "pull"ing, prioritization, and maintaining slack.
  - 11:00 to 18:20
- Rewarding working hard/effort versus output versus value. Progressing from effort → output → value focused
  - 19:00 to 23:00

What to do When Scrum Doesn't Work?

Utilization Trap (Total time: 5:33)

Focus (or Stop Starting, Start Finishing)

Michelle recommends the entire video, but here are some pointed highlights.
- Impact of task/context switching
  - 13:40 to 21:00
- Resource utilization demo, very similar to the one from Agile:Where Are We At. Importance of "pull"ing and prioritization. When you want busy people you get busy people... is it good when your CPU is working 100%?
  - 32:33
- More on pull
  - 38:07 to 39:15
- More on slack. Importance of just in time allocation.
  - 41:13 to 42:26
- Ingredients to create focus: slack, say no, prioritization mechanism
  - 42:28

Spotify
