Companies can miss out if they don't have the right mindset for agile project management.
If your team is pursuing agile practices but doesn't feel that the benefits to the company are delivering on the promised industry hype, this video will explain some of the reasons why that may be the case.
I discuss how traditional project management techniques are often applied to software development projects, and the "agility theater" it can cause for teams.
It's important for teams who are new to using agile development that executives, customers, and all other staff that work on the project understand the implications of the new approach.
The most common misunderstanding I come across is a lack of appreciation for the trade off of agility (a positive effect) for predictability. If a company wishes to adapt to the changing needs of their customer and the market quickly - they must become comfortable with uncertainty, and LET GO of the illusion of control.
Estimation specifically is an activity that can cause a great deal of confusion, wasted time, and unmet expectations when working on products that choose to have some form of Agile Project Management. I'll discuss this in more detail in a later video.
Regardless of how far along the agile journey your company is, beginning to have the tough conversations with stakeholders about WHY we choose agility, and how treating projects like a traditional work effort such as constructing a physical building doesn't apply, can be the breakthrough you might need in becoming a lean organization.
I mentioned the core philosophy of lean software development in my first video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccbpamCmHHMDuring the video, I also briefly mention a traditional software project management tool known as Gannt charts - which I believe are practically USELESS on agile teams. The number of times a project goes according to the chart is practically zero. I'm sorry to report that over the past 17 years of my career (since agile development was introduced) - teams that are held to Gannt charts can easily fall prey to "faking" deliverables as being done just to make it look like they hit their schedule!

About the Site π
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. π₯
Origins of the Idea π±
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. π§
Challenges Faced π€
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. π
Creating Truly Random Links π οΈ
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube πΊ
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. π
Content and Users π΅
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact π€
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. π
