Focus. #deliver

Before you continue… ask yourself the following questions about yourself, your team, and your organization:

Are YOU…

  • Frustrated, super busy, and not getting stuff done (on time — or ever)?

  • Creating solutions to problems that don’t really exist (do you really understand the problem)?

  • Stuck delivering excuses (instead of delighting your customers with incredible outcomes)?

Take a moment to reflect on your answers to the above questions.

Do any of those challenges ring true in your mind today (or did I miss something)?

Are you ready to make a change (or at least consider it)?

Learn About Implementing Scrum And Agile Techniques

I’ve been doing this “Scrum and Agile Stuff” for most of my 30+ year career (you can view my professional background on LinkedIn).

Please read about my services I deliver with clients and dig deeper into what I offer for consulting and training; however, you can keep reading — for free — the concepts and observations I share while we are Implementing Scrum in the real world (just like you might be doing) every day to help Focus. #deliver.

Implementing Scrum

Back in 2006, I started publishing “Scrum Chicken and Pig Cartoons.”

The cartoons kinda took on a life of their own and the site ImplementingScrum.com was born. We created over a hundred comic strips and I blogged about it weekly-ish from 2006-2011. Fun times.

Today, the only way to currently receive the cartoons is to subscribe to my Saturday morning emails (I promise, it’s worth your time!). Since I still practice Scrum on a daily basis with our team and clients around the world, I share some key observations — with a related Scrum Cartoon — every Saturday morning.

You don’t need to actually read my emails on Saturday morning — they’ll be in your inbox for reading and reference anytime you want.

But… you’ve gotta subscribe to receive them (and yes, you can unsubscribe any time).

Your Personal Journey Of Implementing Scrum

If you’ve read this far (thank you!), be aware we might be on different paths in our “journey” of Implementing Scrum in the real world.

Interested in learning more about why this context matters?

I’ve shared some specific information to help you based on “where you might be today”:

Scrum Guide - Audio Book, YouTube Playlist, & Interactive Online Version

Besides my weekly Saturday morning emails (with millions of them sent to people over the years), you can:

The latest version of the Scrum Guide — in 2025 — is still the 2020 Scrum Guide published by the co-creators of Scrum (Ken and Jeff).

You can read about the revisions from their past 2017 Scrum Guide if you are interested in learning what’s changed in this most current edition of the Scrum Guide.

Learn How To Do Less And Increase Your Productivity

Focus. #deliver

I read. A lot (probably too much but that’s my problem not yours lol).

I’ve also learn a lot over the years and share some of the things I use that might help you increase your productivity.

This “Focus. #deliver” concept started somewhere in 2012ish timeframe.

I started by using it as my “signature” in most LinkedIn postings, blog articles, and any speaking engagements I deliver around the world.

The good thing is you can get some of that goodness (wisdom?) from me for free. How?

A few years ago, I started publishing weekly articles via a LinkedIn newsletter with one actionable tip to help you increase productivity by doing less. I still do this (usually on Thursday) every week.

Sounds counter-intuitive, right? Yeah, I know.

You can peruse my summary of the “Focus. #deliver” articles that are available today.

I’ve also published a few articles and overviews of some of the books on the topic that might help you get more done by actually doing less:

What Next?

Phew.

You made it this far in the “wall of text” that many of my counterparts say is a bad thing to do.

The important thing is YOU are still here reading this (like I thought you would, so thank you!).

You probably realize by now I am a pretty unconventional person. So, there's that.

Do I want you to buy something from me / pay me for my services?

Yes. Please do.

How?

You can:

Really though, while I’d love if it you do any of the above things, that’s probably not why you are reading this right now.

So.

Please spend some time browsing the information I’ve shared with you above.

But wait… one more thing (since you’ve gotten THIS far — thank you!), please do ONE or all of the following:

And.

Contact me today.

Let’s talk. I promise it’ll be a sales-pressure-free conversation between the two of us.
Really.
