Emotion vs Sentiment vs Felt Experience
Posted on
10th Oct 2024
Introduction
For this other post in the series, let us look at the terms "emotion", "sentiment" and "felt experience". The distinction between these 3 terms can sometimes be confusing, but once you have the right differentiation criteria, it becomes very easy to tell them apart.
Etymology

Hack 2 Jira
Posted on
12th Aug 2024
Preamble
I use “Hack” in the noble sense of the term. The most commonly accepted translation is “tinkering”, so very far from the hooded guy behind a screen where lots of green lines scroll by on a black background. So I'm going to explain the unconventional use I make of Jira workflows. If you...
UnConf, back to the land of devs
Posted on
17th Apr 2024
Context
For a change, I told myself that going to spend a day at an open forum clearly focused on tech/craft wouldn't hurt me and would be a change of scenery. To set the context properly, this "UnConf" is organized by the Hack Your Job collective, and follows the Lyon Craft day. As a result...
Agile Games France 2024
Posted on
3rd Apr 2024
Agile Games France is intended for all agilists looking for an opportunity to test new games, do "crash tests", experiment, and facilitate all kinds of serious games (or not). A bit like Agile Games Alpes in the end 😁
This event has existed since 2012, with one exception in 2021 due to COVID. L...
Declaration of Agile Rights

22nd Feb 2024
Introduction
Who, among every self-respecting agilist, doesn't know the Agile Manifesto! If you are reading these lines, this document is not unknown to you. You may know some of its values, perhaps all of them, and for the most academic among you, the principles … by heart.
But do you know th...
Agile Tour Aix Marseille 2023
Posted on
31st Dec 2023
For the last convention of the year, I tried to go and find the sun in Aix & Marseille, but unfortunately I didn't find it. Well, it must be said that December 7th isn't the best time of year for that.
First of all, I want to thank very much Olivier Lequeux and his fellow Romain Vignes who great...
Agile Grenoble 2023

29th Dec 2023
I continue with my feedback reports from Agile conferences in France. This time, we're tackling a VERY big piece, since it's Agile Grenoble. Considered by some as the most important and cutting-edge Agile conference in France. In terms of attendance, I learned that Grenoble is no longer in first pla...

Agile Tour Bordeaux 2023

1st Oct 2023
Lyon - Bordeaux, there's no denying it, that's quite a trek ... but the trip was worth it. 🤩
On October 26 and 27 was held the 24th edition of Agile Tour Bordeaux to (re)give the presentation « Accelerate, FAST & UnFix sont dans un bateau » that I had already done at Sophia Antipolis with Yann...

Last Friday, I went to the 12th edition of Agile Tour Sophia Antipolis to give the presentation « Accelerate, FAST & UnFix sont dans un bateau », with my fellow countryman Yannis. The theme of this edition being « Prenons de la hauteur », we should have changed « bateau » to « montgolfière », wh...

Agile Games Alpes is intended for all agilists looking for an opportunity to test new games, run "crash tests", experiment, facilitate all kinds of serious games (or not).
This event isn't that old (#4), but it's well known and recognized enough for a simple post on social networks to be enough t...
Equity vs Equality
Posted on
25th Mar 2023
For this second post of the series, let's look at the terms "Equity" and "Equality". They seem more clearly distinct than the terms of our first post ("Complex VS Complicated"), but their use can prove just as subtle when choosing one or the other.
It all started with a simple image that struck...

17th Feb 2023
With this title, you might think you're about to enter another dimension of this activity. I don't claim to achieve that. You have to take the "++" in the computer science sense of the term, i.e. an increment (+1) on your mastery of this activity, which is already quite good.

It's not eas...
Complex vs Complicated
Posted on
30th Jan 2023
For this first real post of the series, let's look at the terms "complex" and "complicated". In the world of project management, the term "complex" is used more often, whereas in everyday life, "complicated" is favored. But in the end, few people manage to give you a clear difference between the t...
Talk little, but talk well
Posted on
16th Jan 2023
This article kicks off a series, which I hope will last a very long time. The goal is to take 2 terms that look like synonyms, but which, in the detail of their differences, can tip a capital decision. The saying "Talk little, but talk well" seemed perfectly fitting to me for multiple reasons that I...
The "(story) point" must die
Posted on
3rd Jan 2023
The "story point" has gone "mainstream" with all the excesses that come with it. Let's see together how to kick the anthill, without, on top of it, getting ourselves banned from the planning and estimation sessions.
Back to the days of pre-agile estimates
Man-day / Man-month
In the world of IT...
The beginning of the adventure
Posted on
1st Jan 2023
In these times when video is king and brevity the norm (hi TikTok), I'm opening this blog against the tide. I believe that for complex topics such as project/change/production/people management, the notion of time is totally different. You need to take the time to read and understand topics in their...
