One of the least useful pieces of advice you may ever get on management would go along the lines: “we’ve done such and such and it worked freaking miracles for us, thus you should do the same.” In fact, all the ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ are sort of a warning signal for me, whenever I learn […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
Do you remember your very first job? A junior software developer or a quality engineer. An intern maybe. You were expected to do something. All the time. I mean someone paid you and wanted to keep you busy. You didn’t see a big picture. You just had a queue of tasks you should do. One […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
In one role or another I often help teams to try Kanban out or just to help them to create their task board or Kanban board. There is an interesting pattern I observe. First thing is happening when a team discusses what columns should appear on the board. It is very common, and advised, to […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
My current team works with Kanban for some time already. For all of us this is a kind of experiment on live organism. Ongoing experiment. That’s what led me to an idea of The Kanban Story – a set of posts which are a logbook of our cruise with Kanban. The story has its beginning […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology

Distributed autonomy is a crucial part of the modern workplace. Global economic changes require it as much as everyday tasks.| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
You can hear here and there that Kanban scales up pretty well. Actually one of Scrum issues, and I believe one that isn’t addressed neatly, is what to do in projects that take more people than a single Scrum team can accommodate. Definitely one thing which is surfaced pretty soon as Scrum team grows is […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
Some time ago, during our weekly Lean Coffee at Lunar Logic, which is the only all hands meeting at the company, I made a disrespectful comment. It was a topic which I have a strong opinion about. A particular example that was brought to support one argument triggered a visceral reaction on my side. I […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
"It's their job, I shouldn't be bothered" is a signal of not understanding others' work and lack of respect. And a sign of unhealthy culture.| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
At Lunar Logic anyone can make any decision. When people hear that they imagine all things that might go wrong. In reality, they don't.| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
I was never a fan of recipes. Even less so when I heard that I have to apply them by the book. What I found over years was that books rarely, if ever, describe a context that is close enough to mine. This means that specific solutions wouldn’t be applicable in the same way as […]| Pawel Brodzinski on Leadership in Technology
