Today starts with some news reported by recode, HP will cut up to 30,000 jobs after the company splits. This is not entirely surprising, but it still sucks for a lot of people. Johanna Rothman gives us something interesting to read when she talks about resource efficiency and flow efficiency. On Diary of a ScrumMaster, they talk about engineers not trying to change the business, but working with them instead.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
