  • The Heart That Outlived Time - The Story of Valentines

    The Heart That Outlived Time - The Story of Valentines

    The Heart That Outlived Time - The Story of Valentines

    Imagine ancient Rome, nearly two thousand years ago. Streets echo with the clang of armor, the scent of incense, and the whispers of love forbidden.

    There lived a humble priest named Valentinus. He wasn’t a rebel or a warrior—just a man who believed deeply in love. At that time, Emperor Claudius II had outlawed marriage for young soldiers, claiming that single men fought better than those bound by family. But Valentinus saw love as sacred, not sinful. So, in secret, beneath flickering candlelight, he performed weddings for young couples who refused to let the emperor’s decree define their hearts.

    Each ceremony was an act of defiance—and of faith. Eventually, Valentinus was caught and imprisoned. But even behind bars, he kept sharing kindness. The legend says that before his execution, he befriended the jailer’s blind daughter and sent her a note signed, “From your Valentine.” A gesture so simple, so human, it echoed through centuries.

    How To Deal With Difficult People In A Group?

    I can only + 💯 this. Expecting a difficult group often creates one. Your body language, attitude, and language signal what you expect. Participants pick up on that quickly and start protecting themselves. Those signals then reinforce each other, making the group harder to work with.

    On a sidenote. What is a “difficult person” anyway?

    • Someone asking many questions. That might be curiosity, not resistance.
    • Someone not willing to participate. Perhaps instructions aren’t clear.
    • Someone constantly seeking attention. Enthusiasm with no outlet
    • Someone whispering to someone. Maybe there’s no space for interaction.
    • Someone interrupting you. Perhaps you talk too much and too long?

  • How To Provide a Release Plan Without Losing Agility - Mike Cohn

    How To Provide a Release Plan Without Losing Agility - Mike Cohn
    Feb 11 2026
    How To Provide a Release Plan Without Losing Agility - Mike CohnStakeholders want to know what will be delivered, and when. Your team wants to stay agile. So how do you create a roadmap (aka release plan or milestone plan) without locking down every detail? I’m about to start on a road trip between Idaho and Colorado: a 16-hour drive. I know where I’m going, and my general route, but I don’t know every turn I’ll take — and that’s fine.That’s how agile teams should treat release plans and roadmaps.My route is a plan, not a promise. It’s not set in stone. The turns I made and my ETA could change based on roadwork, traffic congestion, an opportunity for an exciting detour, or even a flat tire. The further the distance I have to travel, the more uncertainty I should expect.Agile plans are the same. We can’t predict every eventuality, but we can provide a forecast. We can provide a general idea of where we are planning to go, a predicted range of when we will likely hit key milestones, and our confidence level in the plan. Most agile teams know there’s too much uncertainty to make guarantees. At the same time, they feel like a guarantee is the only thing stakeholders will accept.Here’s what agile teams might be missing: Stakeholders have their own plans to make. And they are just as worried about being held accountable to their predictions as teams are.Stakeholders need accurate delivery dates and milestones (note I didn’t say precise). They crave predictability.Sometimes it might feel like they’re asking for a guarantee. But in truth, the only way to give them absolute certainty is to Overpad your estimates (like me telling someone my 16-hour drive will take 24, just in case), orRefuse to adapt when conditions change. Neither is good for the product, or the team. So what can you do when a stakeholder seems to want a guarantee vs a forecast? Try this: Talk to stakeholders in terms they understand.Here’s one technique I’ve found helpful:Compare their request to requests for similar forecasts in their own domain.For example: Ask a salesperson what their comfort level would be if they were asked to guarantee exactly how much they’ll sell — and which customers they’ll close — in each of the next six months, or in the first year of a product’s release.Ask a marketing person what their concerns would be if asked to commit to specific campaign results with exact timelines.Don’t be confrontational. The point isn’t to trap them — it’s to show that uncertainty exists everywhere, and that agility is a strength, not a weakness. Then, share my road trip analogy with your stakeholders. Tell them that you can’t give them a guarantee, but you can present a roadmap that looks ahead 3-6 months. The roadmap will show the team’s goal, how much progress you believe you can make by when (expressed as a range), and your team’s confidence in the plan. Need help communicating your plans? Try our Plan Visualizer Tool, free for all MGS Essentials members. Remind stakeholders that, like suggested routes on a long trip, agile roadmaps provide visibility, align expectations, and help people plan — without pretending every turn is known in advance.Freeing your team from unrealistic expectations can accelerate their move from good to great.A roadmap is a plan, not a promise Why stakeholders push for guarantees The path to alignment starts with empathy Give stakeholders what they need to succeed How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
