Try to stick with one system before you start integrating others. I’ve used jira for sprint planning for the last 2 jobs and it does the job. It’s easy to use once you’re used to it.

Not a tip related to JIRA specifically but when I was a new scrum master working with a team just as new to the framework I started every event making sure everyone understood the purpose, objectives, and deliverables of the event.

Jumping into the tool can sometimes be confusing if the basics just aren’t there. For JIRA - if they don’t understand how epics, stories, tasks are different and their relationships to one another then it can be overwhelming. Or if they don’t see the value of working iteratively that can also make them less inclined to want to plan a sprint.

JIRA is alright (not super user friendly at times) However, If that’s what they’re already using then it’s great to start with something they already know. The tool will only complement your coaching!

Hi all! I picked up a part time job as “computer support” a few months ago and have since found myself doing a lot more than anticipated. I handle installation and maintenance of Burglar systems, access control, video surveillance, network systems, POS workstations, VoIP, and payment terminals. I took the job with no “formal” education in tech. My “trainer” at the company was a joke, I basically taught myself everything. What do you think would be a reasonable hourly pay for such a person?

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.
