Oh well, between life, work, animals, kids, and summer, I still managed to find a few links this week worth sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I was talking on the latest podcast about the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1uzh_NQMjbTlGCr4zVFhofqpOb4dKO65CQd4TNO2SmHg\/edit?usp=sharing\">World of Warcraft Guide to Project Management<\/a>  &#8211; which inspired Andreas Worm to share <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamemastersframework.info\/\">The Gamemasters Framework for Software<\/a> &#8211; and I love it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I enjoyed this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/agileinsider\/agile-this-is-the-way-fighting-the-emergence-of-dark-agile-4c3e8cf5b1b7\">Fighting the Emergence of Dark Agile<\/a>. Something my colleagues often hear from me is: &#8220;<strong>The focus is on solving problems<\/strong>, not implementing features.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I may have linked to this article in the past, but it popped up in my reading list again. <a href=\"https:\/\/erikbern.com\/2019\/04\/15\/why-software-projects-take-longer-than-you-think-a-statistical-model.html\">Why software projects take longer than you think: a statistical model<\/a>. I&#8217;ve long believed in estimates with a 50% confidence level (a sweet spot between over-planning and starting without thinking). This article is at least adjacent to that notion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I loved the stories and history from Patrick Prill in his post &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/testpappy.wordpress.com\/2023\/07\/01\/software-testing-for-20-years\/\">Software Testing for 20\u00a0years<\/a> &#8211; Patrick says &#8220;don&#8217;t read it&#8221;, but I am overriding his decision. Go read it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On my hike a few weeks back, I took a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nitecorestore.com\/Nitecore-NB10000-Gen-2-Power-Bank-p\/bat-nite-nb10000.htm\"> Nitecore 10000 charging brick<\/a>. Absolutely amazing how much I could charge on something so light. Definitely a must for future backpacking trips as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And there we go.
