I have worked with Ashwini for approximately 1 year for an Agile transformation project in a Product Infrastructure Development and management operations. She was a change agent and eager to embrace a new way of figuring out things. She was leading the transformation from the front and bring into many initiatives into transformation. Fortunate to get a comment from her. Thanks for your support.

Past Year Reviews (PYR), Have you done yours?


I have worked out something that Tim Ferriss has distributed with us, instead of addressing a BIG New Year’s resolutions.
He shared “past year reviews” (PYR) more informed, valuable, and actionable than half-blindly looking forward with broad resolutions.
In a notepad I have constructed two columns: POSITIVE and NEGATIVE.
I glanced into two columns: POSITIVE and NEGATIVE. For each week, I have jotted down on the pad any people or activities or commitments that triggered peak positive or negative emotions for that month. Put them in their respective columns.
I searched into the 2018, looked at my notepad list and ask, “What 20% of each column produced the most reliable or powerful peaks?”
I have been applying this below wheel for the last several years. Try to harmonize as much as feasible from this wheel. I have also applied this below wheel while capturing my notes.

I glanced into my Aha moments and recorded 15 points which I would like to pursue which has empowered me to become a better individual.


May be I will find some more points by 31st December!!!

I have meet with Sunil 3 months back; He has picked up my book approx 2 months ago.Very knowledge person, devoted a decent amount of time in the IT industry. We had many conversations, debate on coaching. He shared his thoughts from his real life experience. He has raised up to coach with two decades plus of his practice, he promptly associates the challenges at ground level(as he has devoted a good amount of time as hands on developer) and advises the team to achieve agility. Nice to receive comments about my books from the wise individual like Sunil.



I can assure you, The Agilist's Guidebook can solve a few of the problems.

HUMAN-CENTERED BOOK!



I am sure all of us have heard about HCD.


Human-centered design (HCD) is an approach to creating solutions for problems and opportunities through a focus on the needs, contexts, behaviors, and emotions of the people that the solutions will serve.


HCB: The book which is focus about to creating solutions for problems and opportunities through a focus on the needs, contexts, behaviors, and emotions of the people that the solutions will serve.


That is all about Human Centered Book (HCB)!


What I have worked out in this book is building by utilizing and observe the thoughts, actions, and experiences of people within the organization and create empathy which is a deep understanding of how and why people behave as they do. From this, I have generated potential solutions and select those that have the most value and best-fit people’s lives.


In order to create effective solutions, I had to look at and interpret the challenges and opportunities that real people come across in their duty.


I have asked numerous questions


Who: who are the various “actors” or people involved, as well as any systems or other actor-like influencers that take in information and perform some kind of action based on it.


What: what do they do? What actions do they take or decisions too they make?


When: when do these actions/decisions happen? What triggers them?


Where: where do these things take place?


Why: what leads people to make the decisions or take the actions they do? How are they processing information? How are emotions affecting things? What goals or objectives do they have?


How: how do they go about taking their actions? what tools do they use?
Followed this model


All these applied and outcomes is this book, the book is all about People (The Agilist’s guidebook)

You may glance into the chapters..... 5 chapters are listed here






Why Guidebooks?
