I started to work and travel from different countries. Inspirations from diverse landscapes, nature, animals and people are helping me to meditate and nano-manage my work-life balance. I'm focussing myself and my teams on a culture of async-first, documentation-first and remote-only. Calendar autonomy is one of our core values. People should be able to decide every hour anew where to invest...
How do you keep work-life balance?

Hi guys, we are preparing a series of articles around the topic as our tool is a good fit for daily Scrum meetings. But we want to learn how Scrum has changed. We will have interviews with some of the Scrum heroes and inventors and this poll is a part of the preparation. So a discussion with details would help us tremendously.
Did Scrum somehow change due to the pandemic and remote collaboration?

Hi, the SEO thing is super difficult for me. How are you doing it? Are you writing blog articles? Or do you follow a different approach?

are you asking for the sum a single angel should provide or all angels together in case there are more?
What size of checks — at a minimum — does an Angel have to write to be impactful…?

There are many different ways and platforms to look for. We started to invite candidates to timz.flowers, the Async Video Meeting tool, we are creating ourselves. There we are explaining the project in a flower and are asking some background questions. The candidate answers whenever finds time and we just watch the different results. You can immediately see who knows how to deal with new tools...

Most probably the same thing, like I do now, but with fewer worries. The ideological question behind this answer is if I would spend the same effort as existential panic is a powerful driver. Some people say that the collapse of the socialist countries finds its origin in this phenomenon as their productivity was missing, on the one hand, this panic, and, on the other hand, the golden carrot of...

could you provide a definition what's the difference between Alpha and Beta? In my understanding so far Alpha is closed development, Beta is integrating more testers, perhaps even the public (open beta). So I would be interested in learning what an Alpha launch could mean and where my understanding of the two terms is insufficient? Perhaps an Alpha launch = open Beta?
Thoughts around Alpha vs Beta launches?

We are part of the people. The more we are in resonance and groove with everybody, the more we make good products for the people by making them for ourselves.
Do people know what they want, or should we create products that we want?

I'm sometimes asking what happened to the homeless person. And sometimes I feel it's perhaps someone who never recovered from their burnout.

How do you build a virtual community?
We are preparing our product launch and I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to building a virtual community. Do you know the problem? A few questions: - Which channels do you use? (Twitter, PH, ...) - How many channels? - How do you attract followers? - Are there cool tricks and methods? - How many followers should you have in the different channels at least? Or if you have different things to...

What were your worst mistakes the first time you founded?
It's not my first time, but I've sometimes the impression that I do the same mistakes again and again without recognizing it.

I was working for +2 decades as a service provider for marketing & advertising with my own company, but there's no difference to an employee when you deliver nothing else than human brainpower to others. I prefer building something that generates an added value based on automated processes and algorithms. But it took me many years to come up with the right idea, now it's there.
What jobs did you leave or are planning to leave in order to become a maker?

For us it's at the moment to define the prorations (= SaaS resources assigned to a pricing model) and the pricing models. We have to understand the specific user needs, personas and user journeys in order to define suitable and acceptable prorations. It's very much at the center of the whole project, but it's an abstract and invisible thing - not only technical but also a technical thing in the...
