Using the MadLibs game (a template driven input) is an extremely smart move, something I've never seen before. It reduces the need to write complete paragraphs and emphasis on the essance. Also, pay attention to building a story from it. Most performance reviews use only the last one as a reference. The idea is to track your journey and optimize for the long run. Share it with your management team (and HR), it could be an interesting experiment for your next review.",8,{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":26,"label":19,"title":27,"url":28,"domain":22,"summary":29,"timeToRead":15},1405346284,"The Dinner Party Metaphor","https:\u002F\u002Fmedium.com\u002F@schauertime\u002Fthe-dinner-party-metaphor-3b4da1457569","\"What it’s like being at a company as it scales its workforce from dozens to thousands\" - Love this story by Lindsay Schauer, until recently a Twitter employee.

This is an important read for anyone who follows SCRUM by the book. I think the biggest mistake of using sprints is tying them to both planning and delivery. Sprints should be used as a timeframe for planning your work, while there should be no correlation to how many times you deploy your product. I used to work in a 2 weeks sprint, planning what goes inside it (and allowing change as we go) and releasing multiple times a week, as features were ready.
