Nobody’s perfect. And no matter how long you spend combing through your code and testing your software, it’s inevitable that a few bugs will make it through to launch day. While bugs are just part of the territory for technical teams, that doesn’t mean you can treat them as just business as usual. Your users want software that works. And with competition heating up in pretty much every industry, you can’t leave issues unchecked.

If you do any meaningful work in life, you do create and manage tasks. It is that simple! Task management is what all of us do at work and home. . Every day you have a huge list of tasks to manage.

“All good lessons come at a cost. Try to learn them inexpensively.” Howard Zucker. When I made a mistake as a child, my father would remind me that all lessons come at a cost. The goal was to learn them cheaply. I did not always follow this maxim. But, this pearl of wisdom stayed with me throughout my life. I have passed it on to my children.

Self-organized teams are able to evolve and adapt quicker in today’s highly complex working environments than traditional command-and-control management structures. At the same time, self-organized teams are more robust to external disturbances, are faster and more creative in problem solving as they use the full potential of the team and not only one single decision making (and often bottle-necked) brain as seen in hierarchical command-and-control structu
