Don't care about beards or no. Just clean grooming (overall) for client meetings.

Beards okay, visible tats and piecing? Okay as long as it’s tasteful

As a manager with a beard from August-April every year and tats, not a problem at all.

Yeah, long term temporary tats are cool!

Ok, I'll reword that now 🤣

Beard is bold is beard is bold

My SM loves mine. Wants me to keep it but I probably won’t on account of them rendering face masks futile 😞

Never grown it before rona so it’s only ever been seen on video. Pretty sure he wouldn’t though. Lol

I always oppose beards except on religious grounds.

Of course it’s neat just don’t want to be viewed as unprofessional, but I do feel the whole clean shave is out dated

Hey Kanban fans -

Trello? Jira? Other? Why?

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Trello. Can go shallow or deep. Can't beat it for ease of use, robust free features, lot's of options from them/3Ps on the paid side. I haven't had a lot of success on data/tracking / reporting sides.
