My TODO list is growing bigger and bigger
I’m a loyal user of Todoist, the service that helps me organize my all duties and tasks. I make a note of every idea, document and event I intend to fulfill, read or attend, as well as every other task, either personal or professional. From the beginning of this Big Continue Reading
The First Meetup
I am totally grateful to Agile Wrocław group for the online meetup on Scrum. The event provided by Joanna Płaskonka, who is a scrum master and an agile coach, was entitled “What do managers do in the Scrum”. For me, as a total newcomer, it was far too advanced, but Continue Reading
