I know the deep night ballet and its seasons best This order is all composed of movement and change, and although it is life, not art, we may fancifully call it the art form of the city and liken it to the dance—not to a simple-minded precision dance with everyone kicking up at the same time, twirling in unison and bowing off en masse, but to an intricate ballet in which the individual dancers and ensembles all have distinctive parts which miraculously reinforce each other and compose an orderly whole. The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any one place is always replete with new improvisations.

Why Scrum is killing your product An Article by Henry Latham uxdesign.cc Product owner vs. product managerWe optimize what we measure Beware SAFe, an Unholy Incarnation of Darkness agilemanagementsoftwareproducts
Product owner vs. product manager A Product Owner is focused on output i.e. how quickly can we build these features? Product Management, on the other hand, is focused on outcomes i.e. why are we building these features in the first place? agileproducts
We optimize what we measure Scrum does not say “only focus on output”, but, unfortunately, humans will optimize for what they measure. If you worry about story points & hitting your estimations, that’s what is going to consume your attention. That is what you and your team will optimize for. And that is the core critique of Scrum as it is practiced: That it focuses a product team’s attention so heavily on delivery — on building lots of features quickly & efficiently — that teams fail to focus on spending time to discover what the right thing to build is. optimizationagilefeatures
