Google Analytics is a powerful tool, but extracting valuable and useful insights can often feel like pulling teeth—especially for beginners.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 3 actionable ways to use Google Analytics to improve SEO.
Consider whether a page is about a topic where freshness is a ranking factor. Second, if you see a significant organic traffic change to your homepage, it’s usually down to a fluctuation in the search volume of navigational queries. Maybe you went viral six months ago, and more people were Googling your brand, but then it naturally dropped back to the mean?
Hit the “SERP” button and compare your page’s SEO metrics to those that outrank you. Take action to improve your page where it falls short.
By default, Google Analytics credits 100% of the conversion to the last landing page the user visited (provided that it was a non-direct click). But the reality is that the person probably wouldn’t have converted if they didn’t read a blog post first. So technically, this page helped assist the conversion.
Improving SEO for these pages will probably lead to an increase in conversions and revenue.

If you were to describe your page in a few words and replace the spaces with hyphens, that would usually be “good enough” for SEO. But you’d probably prefer not to take a stab in the dark.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s run through a simple process for creating optimized URL slugs.
1. Remove special characters Have you ever seen a URL with backslashes () or square brackets ([])? Probably not, because these are unsafe characters that don’t belong in URLs.
You should remove these for obvious reasons, but it’s also best practice to remove other special characters like commas, colons, semicolons, etc.
2. Remove superfluous information Google says it’s good practice to make URLs as simple as possible.
So remove anything you don’t need from our potential URL.
Note that you’ll have to use common sense for this part. The aim is not to make your URL so short that it no longer accurately describes its content. It’s to remove unnecessary words and phrases.
3. Boil it down to a keyword Most titles naturally contain keywords, so what you’re probably left with at this stage is a simplified, keyword-rich version of your title.
This can lead to long URLs that get truncated in search results. The additional context can also be an issue should you ever want to update the page.
So, the next step is to find the keyword that represents the most popular way people search for your page’s topic.
4. Make it lowercase Most web servers treat lower and uppercase URLs the same, but this isn’t always the case. Technically, everything after the hostname (domain) in a URL is case-sensitive, and some servers will treat them differently.
To be on the safe side and to avoid potential duplicate content issues, use lowercase URLs—always.

LinkedIn is talked about as an underrated platform. Like TikTok, LinkedIn posts can actually go viral. The thing is, you’re not going viral on a platform with all types of users. You’re going viral on a platform where everyone is there to talk about business.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 3 effective ways to increase impressions, engagement, and post clicks on LinkedIn.
The first step of creating LinkedIn content is realizing you don’t need to create LinkedIn content. You already have content that could be used on LinkedIn. It just hasn’t been put into a LinkedIn-friendly format. You just need to make your content native to the platform you’re posting on.
This means you don’t want to post a long, all text LinkedIn post to your Instagram stories.
These aren’t lead magnets where users opt-in to your email list to get the resource. You’re just going to give them the resource. This may go against your marketing brain, but the data doesn’t lie.
Two million impressions and over 62,000 link clicks tell us this strategy is working. We’re establishing trust with our audience and showing them how much value we give away for free.
Employee-generated content gets higher engagement, follows, and conversions than branded content. Have your company’s leaders explain what employee-generated content is, how it can help the business, and what they’d love to see from employees in the future.

Organic search refers to the non-paid search results from a search engine. These results can’t be bought or influenced by advertisers; they’re the ones the search engine deems most relevant to the user’s search query.
What types of organic search results are there? Hi, Im Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at some types of organic search results.
Featured snippets Featured snippets are short snippets that briefly answer the searcher’s question. They appear at or near the top of Google’s organic search results and the snippet is pulled from one of the top-ranking results.
Video carousels Video carousels feature videos related to the search query. The entire carousel takes up one organic position.
Top stories Top stories boxes feature recently published content about a topic. These usually show up in the organic results for newsworthy topics.
People also ask People also ask (PAA) boxes show common questions that people also tend to search for. Each question is answered with a short excerpt pulled from a relevant page on the web.
Why is organic search important? Ranking in organic search for relevant keywords drives ‘free’ traffic to your website.
For example, the Ahrefs Blog gets an estimated 355,000 visits from organic search each month. If they had to pay Google for this traffic, it would cost them an estimated $946,000 per month.
Given that you have to create and produce content to rank in organic search results, the cost of traffic from organic search is never truly free. But it’s often the most cost-effective way of driving high-quality targeted traffic to a website.
Organic search is also important for anyone publishing videos on YouTube, as Google often ranks YouTube videos in their video carousels and featured snippets.
In other words, ranking your videos in Google can often send plenty of views your way.

App monetization is essential to the success of your mobile app. Whether you plan to charge for downloads or use subscription services to generate income, your app will never be profitable without a monetization strategy.
Hi I’m Cally, From the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 6 app monetization strategies you can use to ensure your app’s success.
1. Charge for the App in the App Store Charging for app downloads is the oldest trick in the book. When apps were first introduced in the mobile world, the majority of them cost money to download.
This model is less popular these days, with many apps instead offering in-app purchases or subscription plans. That being said, depending on your target market, charging for your app may be a good strategy.
2. Offer Paid Premium Accounts This strategy is often referred to as the “freemium model” as it offers free featuresfor all users, but enhanced features for those who choose to pay for a premium account.
In this model, you can attract users with a free download and then ask for payment for an enhanced experience.
3. In-App Ads Running in-app ads is one of the most common app monetization strategies.
With this method, revenue is generated through sponsored ads, which allow the app to remain free for users. In a free model, users are incentivized to use your app. Plus, the more users you have, the more revenue your ads will generate.
4. Subscriptions In this model, your app can still be free to download, but different services will be offered to users that subscribe than to those who don’t.
Depending on the service your app offers, you may want to offer different kinds of subscriptionsbased on necessary features.
5. Partnerships If you already have an established app or a large user base, you may engage in strategic partnerships with known brands who want to connect with your audience.
Sponsorships help connect your audience to other relevant brands and can build brand integritythrough smart partnerships. On the sponsor’s side, they open up their advertising to new demographics and have the opportunity to push new content to interested consumers.
6. In-App Purchases This strategy can be especially useful if your app is free, as it offers a way to generate revenue without charging for your service.
If you want to leverage in-app purchases in your app monetization strategy, consider what features you can offer to enhance your user experience. Successful in-app purchases leverage gamification and offer benefits to the user.

As you are working on your website’s search engine optimization, keep in mind there are several types of bad backlinks you don’t want.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. These are five of the most significant types of backlinks to avoid.
1. Links From Spammy Sites These are links back to your site from places you just don’t want to be associated with your brand. Your website could be receiving backlinks from these kinds of places and search engines may penalize you, especially if you start receiving tons of spammy backlinks.
If you’ve never researched your backlinks, now is the time. Use a Backlinks tool to get a list of backlinks to your site.
2. Links From Link-Mill Websites Link-mill websites or paid link schemes bring the number of backlinks many site owners think they need to up their SEO game. The problem is more links aren’t always a good thing, especially when they come from dubious sources like link mills.
Search engines keep getting smarter and no matter how clever the latest scheme seems, it’s going to be found out eventually.
3. PR Release Links Press releases can be a source of bad backlinks. But that doesn’t mean every press release opportunity is going to penalize your website.
You should, however, avoid filling a press release page with dozens of keyword-heavy links back to your site and then spamming it to dozens of newswires. The problem really comes in when brands do this repeatedly, trying to build backlinks to up their SEO.
4. Links From Sites Unrelated to Your Industry Not every backlink is a great one if it’s wildly irrelevant or from somewhere completely unrelated to what you do.
When you’re starting to build backlinks to your website from fields and industries not related to your own, it can create confusion.
5. Discussion Forum and Blog Comment Links Search engines can spot when backlinks are just keywords filled with linkson forum after forum. They are becoming smarter, thanks to AI and natural language processing,and notice when it’s not a conversation, but a broadcast.
As you research backlinks to your site, if you find a batch from any discussion forums, you can disavow them.

If you’ve ever juggled multiple Twitter accounts, you know how challenging it can be.
This is why it might be worth merging your Twitter accounts instead. By unifying your Twitter presence, you can strengthen your brand story and reach a wider pool of followers across two or more separate accounts.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here’s how to merge your Twitter accounts.
Merge Twitter Accounts Through Your Dashboard While you can’t merge Twitter accounts, you can bring them together on your desktop or the Twitter mobile app. Log on to your account, click the “More” button on the right-hand sidebar, and click the little “+” symbol.
Next, click “Create new account” or “Add existing account” to proceed:
The process is similar for the iOS and Androidapps. You can add up to five accounts this way, so it’s a good tip to know about.
Communicate With Your Followers Twitter’s not ideal for communicating lengthy statements, so pin posts from your website or other social media accounts to explain the situation.
Use the same messages, posted simultaneously, across both Twitter accounts to start building some brand continuity and consistency right away.
Use Twitter Ads If you’re consolidating, you’re not just looking to hold onto existing followers. You’re looking for new customers, too. Consider launching Twitter ads and running them across both accounts.
Are Twitter ads really worth it, though? Absolutely.
For one thing, we’re seeing a 35 percent increase in ad engagement across Twitter, which means there’s an audience out there for your corporate ads. Plus, the average Twitter user enjoys targeted, highly specific content, which means promotional yet informative adscan offer users what they want.

If you’re looking to get into video marketing, there’s no better channel than YouTube. The good news is you don’t need to flood thousands of dollars in YouTube advertising.
Hi I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here’s how to create a good channel that constantly puts out quality content that people want.
Create a Great Channel Layout & Organize Your Youtube Content The first step to YouTube marketing is to have a great channel layout. When people come to your channel, they need to know what you’re about and what types of videos you have.
Create Regular YouTube Video Content Consistently updating your channel with content will keep your channel feed active, increase your presence on YouTube, and help you build an audience.
You should aim for a minimum of one video per week, but the right amount of content depends on your audience, your goals, and your content.
Design The Right YouTube Thumbnails Don’t skip this part. Choosing your YouTube thumbnail is just as, if not more, important than crafting a great title.
Cross-Promote with Other Channels To increase your reach on YouTube, make it a priority to identify and reach out to other similar channels to cross-promote or collaborate in a mutually beneficial manner.
This doesn’t mean that you need a huge following on YouTube already. You can use your email list, social following, or even embed videos on your website to drive traffic.

You may be filled with questions, wondering how a chatbot can help when it comes to improving your marketing strategies.
What if my company is small? Are they still useful?
What can chatbots really do when it comes to adding valueor enhancing marketing strategies?
The answer is: Lots of things, actually.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 6 Reasons to use chatbots for your website.
1.Chatbots Simplify Things Chatbots keep things easy for everyone involved. It may not be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat, but it will sure feel like magic to your customer, without the need to keep any difficult tricks or gimmicks up your sleeve.
Chatbots are tailored to providing information consumers are looking for. It’s their primary job focus and they do it well.
Since bots aren’t human, they don’t have the emotional hang ups that humans deal with, allowing them to keep customers feeling cool, calm, and collected. This can diffuse some of the problems that arise from human error.
With a chatbot always on call and ready to help, you don’t need to hire around the clock support staff.
This in turns gives your online visitors and potential customers a more personalized and positive experience, making them feel valued and important.
Bots can answer questions promptly and effectively, especially those frequently asked ones. This is particularly helpful, considering many customers have the same inquiries when visiting your site.
Bots can schedule meetings and appointments on the spot, route potential clients or customers to members of the sales team, or even turn visitors into paying customers by helping them to purchase products or services.
Better yet, bots can handle the qualification process for you as well. By collecting data from the prospect’s visit, bots can separate qualified leads from those who aren’t. This drastically reduces dead end leads and wasting valuable company time.
AI chatbots are often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand, making it the perfect opportunity to educate the potential buyer about your products and what your services can do for them. Bots really make a positive impression, leading to a powerful bond between the consumer and your brand.

Certain Agile concepts and ideas have been part of the content marketing conversation for some time now. Scrum is one concept that’s often part of these conversations. But bundling it with Agile causes all kinds of confusion.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at a Scrum-based approach to content marketing.
Scrum benefits for content teams The iterative approach of Scrum gives the content marketing team clearly defined increments of work, which can be analyzed and modifiedquickly without wasting time on something that provides no value to the blog, the company, or the readers.
Organizing content work Scrum provides a great structure for organizingthe work in a way that makes clear who is working on what and why something is being done.
product backlog The product backlog is a prioritized list of everything needed for the product. For a content marketing team, that product may be successful content pieces that bring in leads and boost conversion rates (or anything else that your team is focusing on).
Sprint backlog When it’s time to start a new sprint, the development team pulls the product backlog items needed to reach the sprint goalinto the sprint backlog– a list of ordered PBIsto be worked on in that sprint.
Scrum meetings Scrum meetings are held regularly and help improve teamwork and the product.
Sprint planning The sprint planning meeting happens before a sprint starts. At the planning meeting, the product owner suggests product backlog itemsthat the team should work on and the development team then discusses what to take on and the best way to do the work.
Daily Scrum During brief daily Scrum meetings, the team talks about what they’ve done, how everything is going, and what they plan to do that day. It’s the perfect opportunity for the team to identifypossible bottlenecks and impediments and come up with a way to resolve them.
Sprint review After the sprint, the Scrum team members meet to review the work accomplished. They talk about what they did well and what could be improved in future sprints. The sprint review is also the chance to showcase the team members’ work.
Sprint retrospective The sprint retrospective focuses on how the team collaborated as a unit, the obstacles they ran into, and how they can become a more productive and collaborative team. The purpose is not to assign blame but to have a positive meeting that reinforces the feeling of belonging to an ever-improving unit.

Content marketing is, and has always been, best served as an integrated infusion into a broader marketing strategy. Content marketing is the opportunity to make everything we do better.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here is How Content Marketing Can Save Your Digital Marketing Strategy
Content strategy: The heart of a marketing strategy
Many marketing organizations seem stuck in a never-ending cycle chasing the needs of internal content/experience silos and enabling them with the technologies to optimize each separate layer of the customer’s journey.
In our work and research over the last decade, it is common to see multiple technology solutions managing data, activating content, and measuring consumption of the exact same content.
In today’s B2B marketing, for example, the lead generation strategy centers on customized content interactions that build trust over a long and complex buying journey. Paid digital media is driven by the need to stand out.
It promotes differentiating thought leadership contentmore and the buy-now call to action less. B2B marketing is becoming hyperfocused on targeting customized content into specific accounts.
When these activities work well, it’s because of a connected, cohesive strategic contentapproach that builds valuefor customers along their journey.
In other words, today’s integrated marketing strategystarts with a great content strategy. If we can get to a foundational and strategic content marketing approach – we may just find the heart of a central and integrated marketing strategy.

Most of you must have heard the term ‘social media ROI’. But what does it really mean? Broadly, social media ROI is the total of all the activities, efforts, investments and actions on social media that create value for your brand or business. This could be in the form of brand awareness, traffic to your website, sales through social media promotions, and of course, revenue.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 4 Quick Steps To Define And Measure Social Media ROI For Your Business
1) Clear objectives Aligning social media strategy to business objectives is imperative. If your social media marketing objectives are not set in line with your brand or business goals, what’s the point? If your business wants to increase revenue, but your social media campaigns are targeted at only generating audience engagement without any Call To Action (CTA), your social strategy is completely wrong.
2) Be SMART a) Specific: Do not leave any space for ambiguity. Get as specific as possible.
b) Measurable: Ensure that you set goals that you are able to measure. Intangible goals such as ‘increase excitement around the product’ will not give you specific numbers. Instead set goals that can be measured in numbers, graphs and metrics.
c) Attainable: Don’t let over ambition take over your excitement. Set goals that are attainable and realistic. Over-ambitious and unrealistic goals will only lead to disappointment.
d) Relevant: Keep it relevant and to the point. Ensure that your goals are aligned with your company’s objectives.
e) Timely: Follow timelines to the tee. Fix the date of commencement and end date. This will help you in measuring the ROI.
3) Measure these metrics ● For engagement: likes, comments, clicks, shares, and brand mentions
● For reach: followers and impressions
● Make use of tools such as Google analytics, Facebook analytics and more
4) Keep track of expenses
Once you have set up your goals, started generating quality content, posted content and started seeing traction, make sure you keep a track of the expense to calculate how much your investment is returning to you.
Review performance and re-strategize if need be once you reach the end of a phase on the timeline. Rethink. Reflect.

Scrum Artefakte Scrum se artefakte verteenwoordig werk of waarde. Dit is ontwerp om die deursigtigheid van sleutelinligting te maksimeer. Dus, elkeen wat hulle ondersoek, het dieselfde basis vir aanpassing. Elke artefak bevat 'n verbintenis om te verseker dat dit inligting verskaf wat deursigtigheid en fokus verhoog waarteen vordering gemeet kan word: ● Vir die Produkagterstand is dit die Produk Doelwit ● Vir die Sprint-agterstand is dit die Sprint-doelwit ● Vir die Inkrement is dit die Definisie van Gedaan Hierdie verbintenisse bestaan om empirisme en die Scrum-waardes vir die Scrum-span en hul belanghebbendes te versterk. Produkagterstand Die produkagterstand is 'n opkomende, geordende lys van wat nodig is om die produk te verbeter. Dit is die enigste bron van werk wat die Scrum-span onderneem. Produkagterstande wat deur die Scrum-span binne een sprint gedoen kan word, word geag as gereed vir keuring tydens 'n Sprintbeplanningsgeleentheid. Hulle verkry gewoonlik hierdie mate van deursigtigheid nadat hulle aktiwiteite verfyn het. Verbintenis: Produk Doelwit Die Produkdoelwit beskryf 'n toekomstige toestand van die produk wat kan dien as 'n teiken waarteen die Scrum-span kan beplan. Die Produkdoelwit is in die Produkagterstand. Die res van die Produkagterstand kom na vore om te definieer wat die Produkdoelwit sal bereik.
Sprint-agterstand Die Sprint-agterstand is saamgestel uit die Sprint-doelwit (waarom), die reeks produkagterstand-items wat vir die Sprint gekies is (wat), asook 'n plan vir die lewering van die toename (hoe). Die Sprint-agterstand is 'n plan deur en vir die ontwikkelaars. Die Sprint Doelwit is die enkele doewitl vir die Sprint. Alhoewel die Sprint-doelwit 'n verbintenis deur die ontwikkelaars is, bied dit buigsaamheid in terme van die presiese werk wat nodig is om dit te bereik. Die Sprint-doelwit skep ook samehang en fokus, wat die Scrum-span aanmoedig om saam te werk eerder as aan afsonderlike inisiatiewe. Die Sprint-doelwit word tydens die Sprint Beplanning-byeenkoms geskep en dan by die Sprint-agterstand gevoeg. Inkrement 'n Inkriment is 'n konkrete stap na die produkdoelwit. Elke inkrement is 'n toevoeging tot alle vorige inkremente en is deeglik geverifieer en verseker dat alle inkremente saamwerk. Om waarde te kan lewer, moet die Inkrement bruikbaar wees.
Werk kan slegs as deel van 'n toename beskou word, waneer dit aan die Definisie van Gedaan voldoen. Verbintenis: Definisie van Gedaan Die definisie van gedaan is 'n formele beskrywing van die toestand van die inkrement wanneer dit voldoen aan die kwaliteitsmaatreëls wat vir die produk benodig word. Die oomblik dat 'n Produkagterstand-item aan die Definisie van Gedaan voldoen, lei dit tot 'n Inkrement.
Daar word van die ontwikkelaars verwag om aan die Definisie van Gedaan te voldoen. Eindnota Scrum is gratis en word in hierdie gids aangebied. Die Scrum-raamwerk, soos hier uiteengesit, is onveranderlik. Alhoewel dit moontlik is om slegs dele van Scrum te implementeer, is die resultaat nie Scrum nie. Scrum bestaan slegs in sy geheel en funksioneer goed as 'n houer vir ander tegnieke, metodologieë en praktyke.

Crafting #landing pages that convert is not hard, but the key doesn’t lie in creating these pages but making them effective. One must understand that it involves more than just simply designing something that looks good and gives customers what they want.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at 6 Tested Ingredients To Create #Landing Pages That Convert #Customers
1) Focus and purpose Like any and every job, a good #landing page has a clear focus on the job that needs to be done and a purpose to have such a landing page in the first place. Remember #customers come in all shapes and size, from all aspects of life and from various industries. We thus need to understand clearly what is the purpose of our #landing page and who do we want as our target audience.
2) The message Make sure you remember what message you want to send out with your #landing page and make sure that is exactly what your landing page is portraying.
Don’t oversell or undersell yourself and make sure this message is not lost in translation. Set certain guidelines for your landing page and make sure you stick by it. Don’t blur the lines so as to get a few extra sales or customers.
3) Optimize your #SEO Your landing needs to be easily accessible to your audience and it also needs to be visible organically when they search for certain products on any search engine like Google.
For this, you need to identify your keywords well and find the right focus keyword which helps your customer find the product they are looking for.
4) Talk about your product It’s important to illustrate your product well and the content on your #landing page should reflect exactly what it is.
You should also not forget the end-goal of getting the user what they want and directing them towards it.
5) Remove all the distractions and make it less intimidating It is important to remove all possible distractions from your landing page and make it as simple as you can for your customers. If your page is lengthy and has many options, it will become too daunting for visitors and they may move on to other options than move towards their final goal.
So keep your #landing page as simple as you can and offer options on supporting pages where they are required.
6) Design to convert to your segmented customer’s need It is important to create your #landing page keeping in mind your segmented customer’s needs and making sure that it speaks to your base audience. Be clear about your base audience and their specific needs, and customize campaigns keeping them in mind.

Scrum Byeenkomstighede Die Sprint is 'n houer vir alle ander geleenthede. Elke byeenkomstigheid in Scrum is 'n formele geleentheid om Scrum-artefakte te inspekteer en aan te pas. Hierdie geleenthede is spesifiek ontwerp om die vereiste deursigtigheid moontlik te maak. Versuim om enige byeenkomstigheid soos voorgeskryf te hou, lei tot verlore geleenthede om te inspekteer en aan te pas. Scrum byeenkomstighede word gebruik om n reëlmaat te bewerkstellig en om die behoefte aan vergaderings wat nie in Scrum omskryf word nie, te beperk. Optimaal, word alle byeenkomstighede op dieselfde tyd en plek gehou om die kompleksiteit te verminder. Die Sprint Sprints is die hartklop van Scrum, waar idees in waarde verander word. Dit is byeenkoms met 'n vaste tydperk van een maand of minder om konsekwentheid te skep. 'n Nuwe Sprint begin onmiddellik na afloop van die vorige Sprint. Al die werk wat nodig is om die Produkdoelwit te bereik, insluitend Sprint Beplanning, Daaglikse Scrums, Sprint Hersiening, en Sprint Terugskou, vind binne Sprints plaas. Tydens die Sprint: ● Geen veranderinge word aangebring wat die Sprint Doelwit in gevaar stel nie ● Kwaliteit daal nie ● Die Produkagterstand word verfyn soos nodig ● Die omvang kan met die Produk-eienaar uitgeklaar en heronderhandel word namate meer geleer word
Sprint Planning spreek die volgende onderwerpe aan: Onderwerp Een: Waarom is hierdie Sprint waardevol? Die Produk-eienaar stel voor hoe die produk se waarde en nut in die huidige Sprint verhoog kan word. Onderwerp Twee: Wat kan in hierdie sprint gedoen word? Deur besprekings met die Produk-eienaar kies die ontwikkelaars items uit die Produkagterstand om in die huidige Sprint in te sluit. Die Scrum-span kan hierdie items verfyn tydens hierdie proses, wat begrip en vertroue verhoog. Onderwerp Drie: Hoe sal die gekose werk gedoen word? Vir elke geselekteerde produkagterstand-item beplan die ontwikkelaars die werk wat nodig is om 'n toename te skep wat voldoen aan die definisie van gedaan.
Daaglikse Scrums verbeter kommunikasie, identifiseer hindernisse, bevorder vinnige besluitneming en elimineer gevolglik die behoefte aan ander vergaderings. Die Daaglikse Scrum is nie die enigste geleentheid waar ontwikkelaars hul plan kan aanpas nie. Sprint Hersiening Die doel van die Sprint Hersiening is om die uitslag van die Sprint te inspekteer en toekomstige aanpassings te bepaal.
Die Scrum-span identifiseer die nuttigste veranderinge om die doeltreffendheid daarvan te verbeter. Die mees effektiewe verbeterings word so spoedig moontlik aangespreek. Hulle kan selfs by die Sprint-agterstand gevoeg word vir die volgende Sprint. Die Sprint Terugskou sluit die Sprint af. Dit word tot 'n maksimum van drie ure vir 'n Sprint van een maand aangebied. Vir korter Sprints is die byeenkoms gewoonlik korter.

Scrum Waardes Die suksesvolle gebruik van Scrum hang daarvan af dat mense vaardig raak in die uitvoering van vyf waardes: Toewyding, fokus, openheid, respek en moed Die Scrum-span verbind hul daartoe om hul doelwitte te bereik en mekaar te ondersteun. Hul primêre fokus is op die werk van die Sprint om die beste moontlike vordering in die rigting van hierdie doelwitte te maak. Hierdie waardes gee rigting aan die Scrum-span met betrekking tot hul werk, optrede en gedrag. Die besluite en stappe wat geneem word en die manier waarop Scrum gebruik word, moet hierdie waardes versterk, nie verminder of ondermyn nie. Die lede van die Scrum-span leer en ondersoek die waardes terwyl hulle met die Scrum-byeenkomstighede en artefakte werk. Wanneer hierdie waardes beliggaam word deur die Scrum-span en die mense met wie hulle werk, word die empiriese Scrum-pilare van deursigtigheid, inspeksie en aanpassing beruik en vertroue opgebou. Scrum Span Die fondamentele eenheid van Scrum is 'n klein span mense, 'n Scrum-span. Hulle bestuur ook hulself, wat beteken dat hulle intern besluit wie doen wat, wanneer en hoe. Die Scrum Span is klein genoeg om flink te bly en groot genoeg om belangrike werk binne 'n Sprint te voltooi, gewoonlik tien of minder mense. Oor die algemeen het ons gevind dat kleiner spanne beter kommunikeer en produktiewer is. As Scrum Spanne te groot word, moet hulle dit oorweeg om in verskeie samehangende Scrum Spanne te herorganiseer, wat elkeen op dieselfde produk gefokus is. Ontwikkelaars is die mense in die Scrum Span wat daartoe verbind is om enige aspek van 'n bruikbare inkrement te skep in elke Sprint. Die spesifieke vaardighede wat die ontwikkelaars benodig, is dikwels breed en sal afhang van die werkterrein. Ontwikkelaars is egter altyd verantwoordelikheid vir: ● Die maak van 'n plan vir die Sprint, en die Sprint-agterstand ● Kwaliteit aanbring deur die Definisie van gedaan te volg ● Daaglikse aanpassing van hul plan in die rigting van Sprint Doelwit ● Mekaar verantwoordelik hou as professionele persone Produk Eienaar Die produk-eienaar is verantwoordelik daarvoor dat die waarde van die produk as gevolg van die werk van die Scrum-span maksimaal benut word. Hoe dit gedoen word, kan baie verskil tussen organisasies, Scrum-spanne en individue. Die produk-eienaar is ook verantwoordelik vir effektiewe produkagterstandbestuur, wat insluit: ● Die ontwikkeling en uitdrukking van die produkdoelwit ● Die skep en duidlike kommunikasie van produkagterstande ● Bestelling van die agterstande van produkte ● Om te verseker dat die produkagterstand deursigtig, sigbaar en verstaanbaar is Die Produk-eienaar kan die bogenoemde werk self doen of die verantwoordelikheid aan ander delegeer. Ongeag, die produk eienaar bly aanspreeklik.
Scrum Meester Die Scrum Meester is verantwoordelik vir die oprigting van Scrum soos omskryf in die Scrum Gids. Dit doen hulle deur almal te help om die Scrumteorie en -praktyk te verstaan, beide binne die Scrum Span en die organisasie. Scrum Meesters is ware leiers wat die Scrum-span en die groter organisasie bedien.

Scrum Teorie Scrum is gebaseer op empirisme en maer denke. Empirisme beweer dat kennis uit ervaring kom en besluite geneem moet word op grond van wat waargeneem word. Maer denke verminder vermorsing en fokus op noodsaaklikhede. Scrum gebruik 'n iteratiewe, inkrementele benadering om die voorspelbaarheid te optimaliseer en om risiko's te beheer. Scrum betrek groepe mense wat gesamentlik alle vaardighede en kundigheid beskik om die werk te verrig en sodanige vaardighede te deel of te verwerf soos nodig. Scrum kombineer vier formele geleenthede vir inspeksie en aanpassing in 'n byeenkoms, die Sprint. Hierdie byeenkomstighede werk omdat hulle die empiriese Scrum-pilare van deursigtigheid, inspeksie en aanpassing implementeer. Deursigtigheid Die ontluikende proses en werk moet sigbaar wees vir diegene wat die werk verrig, sowel as diegene wat die werk ontvang. Met Scrum is belangrike besluite gebaseer op die vermeende toestand van sy drie formele artefakte. Artefakte met lae deursigtigheid kan lei tot besluite wat waarde verminder en risiko verhoog. Deursigtigheid maak inspeksie moontlik. Inspeksie sonder deursigtigheid is misleidend en verkwistend. Inspeksie Die Scrum-artefakte en die vordering in die rigting van ooreengekome doelwitte moet gereeld en noukeurig ondersoek word om moontlike ongewenste afwykings of probleme op te spoor. Om te help met inspeksie, bied Scrum kadens in die vorm van sy vyf byeenkomste. Inspeksie maak aanpassing moontlik. Inspeksie sonder aanpassing word as sinneloos beskou. Skrum byeenkomste is ontwerp om verandering uit te lok. Aanpassing As enige aspekte van 'n proses buite die aanvaarbare perke afwyk, of as die gevolglike produk onaanvaarbaar is, moet die proses wat aangewend word of die materiaal wat vervaardig word, aangepas word. Die aanpassing moet so gou as moontlik gedoen word om verdere afwyking tot die minimum te beperk. Aanpassing word moeiliker as die betrokkenes nie bemagtig of selfbestuur word nie. Daar word van 'n Scrum-span verwag om aan te pas die oomblik dat dit deur inspeksie iets nuuts leer.

Die 2020 Scrum Gids™ Doel van die Scrum Gids Ons het Scrum in die vroeë 1990s ontwikkel. Die eerste weergave van die Scrum Gids was in 2010 geskryf, om die doel van Scrum wereldwyd bekend te maak. Sedertdien het ons die Gids verder ontwikkel deur klein, funksionele opdaterings. Saam staan ons daaragter. Die Scrum Gids bevat die definisie van Scrum. Elke element van die raamwerk dien 'n spesifieke doel wat noodsaaklik is vir die algehele waarde en resultate wat met Scrum behaal word. Om die kernontwerp of idees van Scrum te verander, elemente uit te laat of nie die reëls van Scrum na te volg nie, dek probleme en beperk die voordele van Scrum, wat dit moontlik nutteloos kan maak. Ons volg die toenemende gebruik van Scrum in 'n steeds groeiende komplekse wêreld. Ons is verootmoedig om te sien dat Scrum op baie terreine aangeneem word, wat in werklikheid ingewikkelde werk behels, buiten die ontwikkeling van sagtewareprodukte waar Scrum sy wortels het. Soos Scrum se gebruik versprei, doen ontwikkelaars, navorsers, ontleders, wetenskaplikes en ander spesialiste die werk. Ons gebruik die woord “ontwikkelaars” in Scrum nie om uit te sluit nie, maar om dit te vereenvoudig. As u waarde uit Scrum kry, beskou uself as ingesluit. Soos wat Scrum gebruik word, kan patrone, prosesse en insigte wat pas by die Scrum-raamwerk soos beskryf in hierdie dokument, toegepas en bedink word. Die beskrywing daarvan gaan buite die doel van die Scrum Gids, want dit is konteks-sensitief en verskil baie tussen Scrum-gebruike. Sulke taktieke vir gebruik binne die Scrum-raamwerk wissel baie en word elders beskryf. Scrum Definisie Scrum is 'n liggewig raamwerk wat mense, spanne en organisasies help om waarde te skep deur aanpasbare oplossings vir ingewikkelde probleme. In 'n neutedop, Scrum vereis dat 'n Scrum Meester 'n omgewing moet bevorder waar: 1. 'N Produk-eienaar die werk van 'n ingewikkelde probleem in 'n produkagterstand inforder. 2. Die Scrum-span verander 'n seleksie van die werk in 'n inkriment van waarde tydens 'n Sprint 3. Die Scrum-span en sy belanghebbendes ondersoek die resultate en pas dan aan vir die volgende Sprint 4. Herhaal Scrum is eenvoudig. Probeer dit soos dit is en bepaal dan of die filosofie, teorie en struktuur daarvan help om doelwitte te bereik en waarde te skep. Die Scrum-raamwerk is doelbewus onvolledig en definieer slegs die dele wat benodig word om die Scrum-teorie te implementeer. Scrum word voortgebou deur die kollektiewe intelligensie van die mense wat dit gebruik. In plaas daarvan om mense gedetailleerde instruksies te gee, lei die reëls van Scrum hul verhoudings en interaksies. Verskeie prosesse, tegnieke en metodes kan binne die raamwerk gebruik word. Scrum omvou bestaande praktyke of maak dit onnodig. Scrum maak die relatiewe doeltreffendheid van huidige bestuur, omgewing en werktegnieke sigbaar sodat verbeterings aangebring kan word.

Blogging can be a pain.
Not because content is hard to write, but due to the fact that no one can guarantee that your blog post gets read.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at an analysis of popular blog posts and see what common characteristics they have.
A popular post tends to rank for at least 38 keywords But the big difference between posts that generate at least 1,000 visitors versus 5,000 wasn’t the number of keywords that they were targeting, it was more so that they were ranking for keywords that were searched on average 984 times a month.
But wait, how do you come up with 38+ keywords for every blog post you write? You shouldn’t write blog posts just for Google traffic. If the content doesn’t provide value to the user, it is going to hurt your website rankings in the long run. But when looking for popular keywords, you can head to Ubersuggest or similar channels to come up with blog post ideasas well as 38 plus keywords per post.
The average blog post that is popular contains 1839 words Over the years the SEO game has changed. Generally, the longer your content, the more traffic you can get.But there are a lot of edge cases to that rule. And Google doesn’t really care about word count these days as much as they do for user experience.
Nonetheless, looking at the word count the average post length was 1839 words.
Blog posts that are popular are somewhat new When looking at popular blog posts, we noticed that a lot of sites didn’t include a publish date or an updated date.
But for the posts that did contain a date, content that generates 1,000 visitors or more a month on average tends to be 388 days old. And content that generates less than 1,000 visitors tends to be 593 days old.

Manifes van Agile Sagteware Ontwikkeling
Ons ontdek voortdurend beter maniere om sagteware te ontwikkel deur dit self te doen en deur ander te help om dit te doen. Daardeur het ons die volgende waardes ontdek: Indiwidue en interaksies eerder as prosesse en gereedskap Werkende sagteware eerder as omvattende dokumentasie Kliëntesamewerking eerder as kontrakonderhandeling Reaksie op verandering eerder as die volg van 'n plan
Dit wil sê, al is die items aan die regterkant ook van waarde, heg ons meer waarde aan die items aan die linkerkant. Beginsels van die Agile Manifes
Ons volg die volgende beginsels: 1. Ons hoogste prioriteit is om die kliënt tevrede te stel deur die vroegtydige en voortdurende lewering van waardevolle sagteware. 2. Verwelkom veranderings in die behoeftes, selfs laat in die ontwikkelingsproses. Agile se prosesse maak voorsiening vir verandering ter wille van die kliënt se mededingende voordeel. 3. Lewer funksionele sagteware op ‘n gereelde basis, van ‘n paar weke tot ‘n paar maande, met ‘n voorkeur vir korter periodes. 4. Besigheidsmense en ontwikkelaars moet voortdurend, en op ‘n daaglikse basis, saam werk aan projekte. 5. Bou projekte rondom gemotiveerde indiwidue. Voorsien hulle van die nodige werksomstandighede en ondersteuning, en vertrou dat hulle die werk kan doen. 6. Die doeltreffendste wyse om inligting aan en binne ‘n ontwikkelingspan oor te dra, is deur persoonlike interaksie. 7. Doeltreffende sagteware is die primêre maatstaf van vooruitgang. 8. Agile se prosesse bevorder volhoubare ontwikkeling. Die borge, ontwikkelaars en gebruikers behoort in staat te wees om onbepaald ‘n konstante tempo te handhaaf. 9. Volgehoue aandag aan tegniese voortreflikheid en goeie ontwerpe bevorder behendigheid. 10. Eenvoud – die kuns om onafgehandelde werk te maksimaliseer – is noodsaaklik. 11. Die beste argitektuur, behoeftes en ontwerpe kom na vore vanuit self-georganiseerde spanne. 12. Die span neem sy situasie op ’n gereelde basis in oënskou om doeltreffender te word en pas sy aksies dan dienooreenkomstig aan.

It’s true that email marketing and social media are different by nature and each one has its unique characteristics.
However, as the digital marketing space is becoming more and more competitive, and customers expect an omnichannel experience, it is only logical to combine two of the most effective marketing channels to get the best results possible.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s explore ways that you can integrate your email marketing with a social media strategy.
1. Transform your emails into social media campaigns If you want to maximize your social reach, then running a campaign specifically designed to promote your social channels is ideal.
Showcase the benefits the subscriber is going to enjoy when he becomes a follower in each social media channel. This tactic is great because it allows you to grow your social follower base exponentially.
2. Add social media buttons in your email marketing campaigns Including social media buttons in emails is the most common email and social media integration practice that most businesses out there use.
By adding those buttons, you give your subscribers a chance to communicatewith you through multiple social channels.
3. Grow your email list through social media Another thing you can do by leveraging the power of social media is to encourage your social media followers to sign up for your mailing list.
One of the best ways to do this is by utilizing your Facebook page’s main call to action button. The only thing you need to do is turn your Facebook CTAinto a newsletter sign-up button and that’s it!
4. Create a newsletter signup tab If you don’t want to sacrifice your precious CTA, Facebook’s brand pages provide customizable tabs that you can create to attract new email subscribers. This opt-in tab allows Facebook fans to sign up to your newsletter without the need to visit a landing page or your website.
5. Upload your list on social platforms Another excellent way to merge your email and social media marketing strategies is to upload your subscriber lists on social platforms. You can use these uploaded lists to follow your subscribers on social media, personalize your customers, and run promoted social media campaigns.
6. Make social sharing of your emails possible Email marketing allows you to create campaigns that will motivateyour subscribers to click on your CTA. Even if your email audience is enough to bring the conversions you want, expanding the reach of your message. It can be done through social media and will lead you to greater results.

Scrum Values Successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living five values: Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage The Scrum Team commits to achieving its goals and to supporting each other. Their primary focus is on the work of the Sprint to make the best possible progress toward these goals. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders are open about the work and the challenges. Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people, and are respected as such by the people with whom they work. The Scrum Team members have the courage to do the right thing, to work on tough problems. These values give direction to the Scrum Team with regard to their work, actions, and behavior. The decisions that are made, the steps taken, and the way Scrum is used should reinforce these values, not diminish or undermine them. The Scrum Team members learn and explore the values as they work with the Scrum events and artifacts. When these values are embodied by the Scrum Team and the people they work with, the empirical Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation come to life building trust. Scrum Team

Launching a new #Google Ads search campaign is an exhilarating process. When set up and managed properly, Google Ads (previously Google Adwords) is one of the best sources for new customers. Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here is a 10-Step Guide to Creating a Profitable #Google AdWords #Campaign from Scratch
If your customers are not searching for your product or service in Google, then obviously, AdWords search advertising is not going to work for you. So, before you get too excited about creating your first #campaign, you need to verify there is, in fact, search volume for what you’re going to offer.
Before finalizing your keyword list, you must make sure it makes sense to target that term. This will prevent you from going after keywords where there’s no chance of them being profitable. To answer the question “Can I afford to advertise on this keyword?” you need to calculate your maximum cost per click (Max CPC). You’ll compare your business’s Max CPC to the estimated keyword CPC in the Keyword Tool to see if you can afford to advertise.
In most industries, you’ll find competitors who already have tested and optimized their AdWords campaigns. That means they have figured out which keywords, ads, and landing pages work and do not work in your market. A very cool competitive intelligence tool for this is KeywordSpy. KeywordSpy collects, organizes, and provides easy access to all of your competitors’ historical advertising information.
Your USP, or unique selling proposition, is what differentiates your business from your competitors and gives your prospects a compelling reason to choose you. In other words, your USP answers the question, Why should your prospect choose to do business with you, versus any and every other option, including doing nothing?
What can you offer in your AdWords campaign that is so compelling your prospect would be a fool to not take action? How can you stand out from all the other ads your prospect will see in the search results? The answer is your irresistible offer, which consists of the following four components: Value, Believability, Reduce or Reverse Risk, and a Call to Action.
With AdWords search advertising, you pay only when people click on your ads. Therefore, your ads have two very important jobs: 1. Attract qualified prospects so they click on your ad instead of competitors’ ads. 2. Repel unqualified prospects so they do not click and waste your ad budget. That means more traffic, more sales, and less wasted money on unqualified traffic, which all leads to higher profits for you.
If you’re like a lot of first-time advertisers, then your prospect is now on your homepage scratching their head trying to figure out what just happened. Homepages explain everything your business does, all of your products and services, and all of the different customers you serve. In other words, your homepage is not 100 percent relevant to the keyword searched and the ad clicked. Instead, create a dedicated landing page that matches the keyword and the ad. The goal is to make the entire sales process congruent so your prospect is continually reassured they are going down the right path.
Conversion tracking measures the sales generated by your AdWords campaign. More specifically, you want to know which keywords and which ads are generating sales. If some or all of your sales occur online with an e-commerce shopping cart, then conversion tracking is pretty straightforward. Just use the built-in #Google AdWords #conversion tracking.

Time and again, carousel ads prove their bottom-of-the-funnel efficacy to generate direct conversions and sales.
Content marketers too can leverage carousel ads to pursue brand awareness, reach, and traffic objectives.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s explore these three creative ways to promote content with Facebook and Instagram carousel ads.
1. Offer a sneak peek into premium content A high-performing campaign promoting a disappointing piece of content is hurtful for the brand.
Here is where carousel ads make a difference. With 10 slides available in Facebook and Instagram carousel ads, you have room to showcase samples of downloadable resources before you ask users to visit your website or share their email address. This game-changer both defuses the risks of branding damages and sheds light on the true cornerstone of the campaign: the content resource.
2. Wow your audience with horizontal infographics As content marketers, we know infographics can be a powerful tool to drive engagement on social media, generate backlinks through outreach, and improve SEO.
Usually, infographics are designed in a tall, vertical format, which is easy to scroll on desktop and mobile. However, that portrait aspect ratio does not go well with visual requirements for news feed-based social networking sites.
But you can flip the table on social-posted infographics and use carousel ads to present infographics in a new way: horizontally. Not only will the horizontal graphics bump up your engagement rate from users bored with and blind to things they have seen a thousand times, they also deliver a deeply satisfying native experience resulting from a perfect blend of your content with the platform’s user interface.
3. Serialize related videos In a small study from Facebook IQ research, videos retained users’ attention five times longer than static content.
It can get better. Do you know what is even more efficient than a video? A series of videos.
Your brand can be part of the serialized content revolution– and carousel ads make that easier, allowing you to group and broadcast together multiple videosaround a common themein a single ad.

No matter the configuration, a well-trained in-house content marketing team is a competitive advantage. But what makes a team exceptional? It is all in how you grow it. Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are five tools and a few tips to help in those efforts. Encourage self-education Training should be done on what qualifies as really good content and what is mediocre. A favorite tool for this is Zest.is. It is a content moderationplatform that uses a community-based system (called a “tribe”) to weed out the content that isn’t going to get the level of attention you want.
Share and curate knowledge Everyone knows a good content marketing team shares content with its audience; it also shares content among the members.
Smarp is a knowledge-sharing and content-curation app. It includes employee-driven content curation and development, a news feed that makes it easy to see what is being shared within your company, and a custom company directory of content.
Encourage them to play Content marketing is integrated into lots of marketing areas, including search engine optimization and social media marketing. Your content team needs to be aware of what keyword research is, how to put together optimized content and target search queries, and how to create content that gets shared on social media.
Hence, training your content team in basic SEO and social media is important. You don’t need to train them in the technical SEO tasks, but ensure that they learn important terminology and concepts.
Google Analytics
Build a separate content marketing dashboard using Google Analytics to allow your team to quickly see how articles perform and learn from their success and failures.
Stop, collaborate, and listen Collaboration is important with content marketing teams. But a certain amount of access and incorporation into the content process should be done for all the departments in your organization. Why? Because a strong team works together and marketing is a collaborative effort.
There are many tools for this, but CoSchedule is the perfect app for this purpose. Not only does it allow you to plan your editorial calendar and schedule social media, it is also an easy way to keep your team on the same page.

Most companies don’t want to think about how their WordPress works, they just want it to work. This is exactly why using managed WordPress hosting is so useful. All the backend maintenance is managed by the provider, the sites are blazing fast, and WordPress never goes down. In the event that there is an issue, it’s resolved quickly by the managed WordPress hosting support team. Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are the top options for managed WordPress hosting.
WP Engine was the first company to offer managed WordPress hosting and they continue to set the bar of excellence. Every aspect of its IT environment has been optimized for WordPress. As soon as companies move their sites to WP Engine, they report increased security, speed, and reliability.
Bluehost’s web hosting plans always strike a great balance between price and value, including its managed WordPress hosting plan known as WP Pro.
It’s an excellent choice for people who are building a new site and want everything done right the first time. Bluehost is one of only three providers that’s recommended by WordPress officially. One of the main reasons is the level of support they provide their customers.
Nexcess is a very mature provider with hosting solutions for a variety of platforms and needs. Its managed WordPress hosting is a very powerful option for companies in ecommerce because it can handle the needs of today’s dynamic websites. Nexcess comes with a lot more bandwidth per dollar than any other provider. This is a big deal for ecommerce, membership sites, and people who sell courses online. They simply cannot function with limited bandwidth.
Kinsta is a premium managed WordPress hosting solution that’s trusted by the biggest businesses with the most demanding website needs. Large traffic? High availability? No problem. Like WP Engine, Kinsta is built on Google Cloud Platform, but they do it a little differently. Kinsta uses LXD managed hosts to house each site in its own container.
Flywheel offers a managed WordPress solution that is beloved by developers and agencies who build amazing sites for their customers. It provides an IT environment that’s been configured perfectly for top-notch WordPress performance. Like Kinsta and WP Engine, Flywheel is built on Google Cloud, so it delivers excellent uptime and availability. For more information, visit www.thedigitalmarketinginstitute.org

Scrum Events
The Sprint is a container for all other events. Each event in Scrum is a formal opportunity to inspect and adapt Scrum artifacts. These events are specifically designed to enable the transparency required. Optimally, all events are held at the same time and place to reduce complexity.
The Sprint Sprints are the heartbeat of Scrum, where ideas are turned into value. They are fixed length events of one month or less to create consistency. All the work necessary to achieve the Product Goal, including Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective, happen within Sprints. During the Sprint: ● No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal ● Quality does not decrease ● The Product Backlog is refined as needed ● Scope may be clarified and renegotiated with the Product Owner as more is learned Sprints enable predictability by ensuring inspection and adaptation of progress toward a Product Goal at least every calendar month. A Sprint could be cancelled if the Sprint Goal becomes obsolete. Only the Product Owner has the authority to cancel the Sprint. Sprint Planning Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint. This resulting plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire Scrum Team.
The Scrum Team may also invite other people to attend Sprint Planning to provide advice.
Sprint Planning addresses the following topics:
Topic One: Why is this Sprint valuable? The Product Owner proposes how the product could increase its value and utility in the current Sprint.
Topic Two: What can be Done this Sprint? Through discussion with the Product Owner, the Developers select items from the Product Backlog to include in the current Sprint. Selecting how much can be completed within a Sprint may be challenging.
Topic Three: How will the chosen work get done? For each selected Product Backlog item, the Developers plan the work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of Done.
The Sprint Goal, the Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint, plus the plan for delivering them are together referred to as the Sprint Backlog. Sprint Planning is timeboxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter.
Daily Scrum The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work.
Sprint Review The purpose of the Sprint Review is to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations. The Scrum Team presents the results of their work to key stakeholders and progress toward the Product Goal is discussed.
The Sprint Review is the second to last event of the Sprint and is timeboxed to a maximum of four hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter.
Sprint Retrospective The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness.
The Sprint Retrospective concludes the Sprint. It is timeboxed to a maximum of three hours for a one-month Sprint. For shorter Sprints, the event is usually shorter.

Scrum Artifacts
Scrum’s artifacts represent work or value. They are designed to maximize transparency of key information. Thus, everyone inspecting them has the same basis for adaptation. Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured: ● For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal ● For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal ● For the Increment it is the Definition of Done These commitments exist to reinforce empiricism and the Scrum values for the Scrum Team and their stakeholders. Product Backlog The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team.
The Developers who will be doing the work are responsible for the sizing. The Product Owner may influence the Developers by helping them understand and select trade-offs. Commitment: Product Goal The Product Goal describes a future state of the product which can serve as a target for the Scrum Team to plan against. The Product Goal is in the Product Backlog. The rest of the Product Backlog emerges to define “what” will fulfill the Product Goal.
The Sprint Backlog is a plan by and for the Developers. It is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Developers plan to accomplish during the Sprint in order to achieve the Sprint Goal. Consequently, the Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint as more is learned. It should have enough detail that they can inspect their progress in the Daily Scrum. Commitment: Sprint Goal The Sprint Goal is the single objective for the Sprint. The Sprint Goal is created during the Sprint Planning event and then added to the Sprint Backlog.
Increment An Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal. Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly verified, ensuring that all Increments work together. In order to provide value, the Increment must be usable. Multiple Increments may be created within a Sprint. The sum of the Increments is presented at the Sprint Review thus supporting empiricism. However, an Increment may be delivered to stakeholders prior to the end of the Sprint. The Sprint Review should never be considered a gate to releasing value. Work cannot be considered part of an Increment unless it meets the Definition of Done. Commitment: Definition of Done The Definition of Done is a formal description of the state of the Increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product. The moment a Product Backlog item meets the Definition of Done, an Increment is born. If the Definition of Done for an increment is part of the standards of the organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If it is not an organizational standard, the Scrum Team must create a Definition of Done appropriate for the product. The Developers are required to conform to the Definition of Done. If there are multiple Scrum Teams working together on a product, they must mutually define and comply with the same Definition of Done.

When Google and the engines automate PPC tasks, you can still remain in control with "automation layering." “Machines are better than people!” While true in some instances, such a provocative statement conjures B-movie imagery of machines running rampant and destroying humanity foretelling a time in which great intentions actually destroy the future. Not the case in PPC. It’s true that, in certain functions, machines ARE better than people. The brilliant minds at Google, Bing, Amazon and Facebook are in a pitched battle to drive time-saving automations to ease the burden on PPC pros. So much so, that many people in our industry understandably fear being automated into a totally different career. Reality? The more the big engines automate, the more value a smart PPC pro can bring to the game. Over the past year, we’ve made automation standard in our platform and integrated it more closely with automations from Google so that advertisers can do two things more efficiently: 1. Advertisers can create their own automations using rules. Think of it as a simpler way to achieve what you may previously have tried doing with scripts. 2. PPC experts can take back control as the engines introduce more automation using “automation layering“. Think of it as setting your own boundaries that the engine’s automations have to stay within. E.g. better control of automated bids, close variants, budgets, etc. 1. Monitor correct implementation of your PPC strategy PPC pros can think of themselves as the doctors of PPC and the automations created by Google as the medicine. It’s the doctor’s role to find out what ails the patient and what course of treatment might make them better. Likewise in PPC, the human expert understands the goal of the advertiser and chooses tools and automations that are most likely to help achieve the desired outcome. Picking the right tools isn’t always as simple as it sounds. For example, advertisers may decide to test automated bidding, also called “Smart Bidding” by Google. But they may forget to take care of some of the recommended prerequisites like upgrading to a more sophisticated attribution model. 2. Monitor the automations from the engines Once all the right tools and automations have been put into place, the PPC expert’s role shifts to that of a pilot who needs to monitor that the systems are working correctly and things are staying on course. The PPC professional, too, needs to monitor their automations because as good as automated bidding may be at the math of predicting conversions, it’s horrible at flagging unexpected things. So automated bidding will likely do a good job of reducing CPCs when it notices a drop in conversion rate, but it won’t do anything to notify the advertiser that there is an anomaly in conversion rate or suggest what may be the root cause of the anomaly. 3. Teach the engines how to use your business data better The third role humans will play in a PPC world where automations are everywhere is that of a teacher. Remember that many automations are driven by advances in machine learning and, as we all know, teachers are needed for learning. So PPC experts need to use their own tools and automations to layer on top of what the engines are doing. A cliche but easy-to-grasp example is that of bidding by weather. If you run a ski resort, you may have historical ski-lift sales data about how many lift passes you sell when the weather is sunny versus when it is snowing. Chances are that Google may not be taking this data into account when its automations decide which users to show ads to and how much to bid. So it would make perfect sense that the advertiser should help the Google system deliver better results by teaching it to do something different based on the weather.

If you’re looking for a unique way to reach a highly targeted audiencethrough the use of audio, Clubhouse could be your avenue.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are the most useful Clubhouse tools to make your marketing efforts simpler and more effective.
1. Humans on Clubhouse If you’re coming to the platform with a specific goal in mind, you might want to use Humans on Clubhouse. This tool offers 1:1 connections to anyone within a particular niche. Whether you’re trying to network, build a following, or find an influencer, this Clubhouse tool can help you.
2. Clubhype Since the platform is kept relatively exclusive, there are extra steps you’ll want to take to ensure everyone knows you’re hosting an event.
Clubhype makes this easy. This Clubhouse tool allows you to enter your Clubhouse link, and it generates a sleek and attractive preview image you can share to social media. The image contains the date and time of the event, the title, and all the important members included in the event.
3. Find Clubhouse This tool is similar to Humans on Clubhouse, but instead, it helps you find specific clubs based on topics you’re interested in. From a marketing standpoint, it would be good to use this in the beginning so you can find groups that relate to your business and could help you find listeners who may want to join your club as well.
4. Ask Clubhouse Next on the list of Clubhouse tools is something that makes it easier for you to engage with your audience.
Ask Clubhouse helps you do this by creating a board where people can ask their questions, and you can address them later on in the event or even at a later date.
5. Clubhouse Glow This is a simple tool that allows you to create a color ring or filter over your Clubhouse avatar. Why would you want to do that? Why not? Generating attention and being able to stand out in a room is an important aspect of marketing.
Clubhouse Glow can help differentiate you from the rest of the crowd by adding a nice visual effect to your avatar.
6. Clubhouse Bio Builder Clubhouse Bio Builder is an iOS app that helps you format text, choose the font, and create the most enticing bio possible. People are going to read your bio before joining your club, so you’ll want to make sure you’ve written the best bio possible as well.

What differentiates the most successful players is the proactivity to find solutions that help to understand the consumer.
For this, there are different types of market research, each of them focused on a particular goal.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s explore different types of market research, as well as some of its most common uses.
The 3 main types of market research
1- Exploratory research
Exploratory research functions as the initial stage of a study and has as its main objective to offer ideas to be worked on. This kind of research has a freer character, that is, it does not have a limitation on what one wants to discover. Any doubt is pertinent and can represent a great discovery to enrichthe following steps.
One should not expect statistical conclusions from exploratory research. After all, it works as a preparation of the ground for more solid discoveries in other research.
2- Descriptive research
Descriptive research is more palpable in relation to exploratory research. It starts from a situation where insights and information already exist, but this is not consolidated. The descriptive research aims, essentially, to validate hypotheses and to find possible flaws in the planning developed. This type of search works well when the analysis is segmented. Some of the historicallyeffective categories are: social class, age, region, and gender.
Descriptive research is also characterized by testing ideas raised in an earlier stage. For this, the relationship between two or more variables generates statistical data that corroborate or not with initial hypotheses.
3- Causal research
As its name suggests, causal research determines cause and effect relationships. Based on discoveries made in exploratory and descriptive research, the company starts to perform validation tests.
Several variables are applied in order to legitimize or disprove previous insights. It does not have a dichotomous character (right or wrong), that is, some variable may be partially adequate, for example.
Two very common applications of causal research are their use to determine the suitability of using marketing funds and to do campaign testing, to check the effectiveness of their results, and to do something if necessary.

When you use relevant hashtags(#) in your social media posts, people who are searching for those keywords can find your tweets and posts, and can potentially follow you.
Unfortunately, if you use the WRONG hashtags, your marketing won’t be nearly as effective.
Hi, I’m Cally, From the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s discuss How To Find Great Hashtags To Market Your Business
1. Find out what hashtags influencers are using Influencers in your niche are already using a bunch of hashtags that are both popular and highly relevant to your audience.
2. Find trending hashtags in your niche As part of your social media strategy, you will definitely want to identify which topics aretrending, both in general and in your industry.
3. Find relevant cross-platform hashtags
Tagboard aggregates conversations happening across the web, it’s a great tool for finding hashtags that are popular and relevantacross all platforms – and the best part is the tool shows you ACTUAL top posts that use that hashtag on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. 4. Use Twitter’s tailored trends Twitter Trends gives you a list of topics and hashtags based on a bunch of factors directly related to YOU, including your:
● Location
● Your interests
● Who you follow
These factors, combined with which tweets are currently trending (not trending yesterday or last week), mean you see tweets that are extremely relevant and popular – right now.
5. Use Hashtags.org to find trending hashtags and more One of the most popular tools out there is Hashtags.org, and for good reason.
Enter a hashtag into the search box, and you’ll receive a wealth of information including:
● The hashtag definition
● A 24-hour hashtag trend graph
● “Prolific users” of that hashtag
● Recent tweets
● Related hashtags
6. The low-tech option: brainstorming Take some time to sit down and brainstorm which keywords will be of interest to your audience.3
Once you’ve come up with a list, you can plug them into different tools to find related hashtags and to see how popular they really are!

What if I told you there was a single marketing channel through which #companies are finding a 3,800% ROI? That’s earning $38 for every dollar spent. This magic #marketing channel is called email. Yes, just good old email. And that insane average return on investment is one of many #email marketing statistics that have held true for years now. I hear it’s too much work to design newsletters, manage a growing number of contacts, personalize messages, and keep the campaign moving forward. There’s this perception that email is a time-sink, but it doesn’t align with the statistics. If it were really too labor intensive to run an efficient #email marketing #campaign, the average ROI wouldn’t even be 1/1000 of what it is, year after year. The key is finding the right #email marketing service. Don’t wait to start building better #campaigns in less time. Below are our top 5 recommendations followed by a brief buyer’s guide to help you find the right one for you.
Constant Contact offers some of the best #email marketing services alongside top-notch solutions for ecommerce, event hosting, website building, and multi-channel marketing. They average a 97% deliverability rate. This is only possible because the mature platform blends powerful behind-the-scenes functionality—like blocklists, proactive monitoring, and multiple forms of authentication—with an intuitive UI that helps teams craft effective messages that don’t bounce.
Sendinblue is a unified CRM, chat, Facebook, SMS, and #email marketing platform. It’s loaded with features that are super easy to learn. In other words, lots of tools with very little training. Unlike other options on this list, every Sendinblue subscription (including Free and Lite) comes with a sales CRM, marketing automation, real-time reporting, advanced segmentation features, and more. With popups, landing pages, and chatbots, you can build out your contact list with minimal effort, turning website visitors and Facebook passerbys your next lead.
Zoho Campaigns is a lightweight, cost-effective #email marketing service that comes with all the must-have features. In Zoho #Campaigns, everything has been trimmed, but not watered down. So you can still accomplish 80-90% of what you can do with an #email marketing service that costs three to four times as much. The ease-of-use is on par with agile project management software like Trello. Not only can non-technical users navigate Zoho Campaigns, they can master their domain.
Marketo Engage, from Adobe, is a full-service marketing automation solution ready to support your strategy across any channel. Centralize and analyze customer data in an intuitive environment that allows for email #campaigns with fine-grained segmentation and dynamic personalization. You can customize intricate workflows with behavioral triggers that wouldn’t be possible on other platforms because they can’t capture as much information as Marketo does. Every feature is full-bodied. A/B/n testing, for example, lets you pilot multiple versions of the same site or email rather than just binary A/B testing, which is where many other products stop.
Pardot is the marketing automation platform from Salesforce that’s built specifically for B2B marketing. Do you need to hear more, or are you already sold? It’s as good and as deep as you think it is. Pardot has 2,000+ integrations, a rich feature set, and a surprisingly intuitive UI. To be honest, the platform is a few steps ahead of its competitors in the dedicated #email marketing space.

Scrum Theory
Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Lean thinking reduces waste and focuses on the essentials.
Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and to control risk. Scrum engages groups of people who collectively have all the skills and expertise to do the work and share or acquire such skills as needed.
Scrum combines four formal events for inspection and adaptation within a containing event, the Sprint. These events work because they implement the empirical Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Transparency
The emergent process and work must be visible to those performing the work as well as those receiving the work. With Scrum, important decisions are based on the perceived state of its three formal artifacts. Artifacts that have low transparency can lead to decisions that diminish value and increase risk.
Transparency enables inspection. Inspection without transparency is misleading and wasteful. Inspection
The Scrum artifacts and the progress toward agreed goals must be inspected frequently and diligently to detect potentially undesirable variances or problems. To help with inspection, Scrum provides cadence in the form of its five events.
Inspection enables adaptation. Inspection without adaptation is considered pointless. Scrum events are designed to provoke change. Adaptation
If any aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits or if the resulting product is unacceptable, the process being applied or the materials being produced must be adjusted. The adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation. Adaptation becomes more difficult when the people involved are not empowered or self-managing. A Scrum Team is expected to adapt the moment it learns anything new through inspection.

You know your niche and understand your customers. You’ve also taken the time to research keywords and optimize your copy. Then you’ve checked that your #website works as it should. Before you go any further, though, there’s an additional step to take: considering the colors and #color combinations you use on your #website. We’re not just talking about #branding or what looks good here: We’re talking about #color psychology and the impact it can have on your visitors and subsequent conversions. You may not realize there’s more to color than its aesthetic qualities. The color scheme you use is a crucial part of the buying decision. Even minor adaptations like changing your CTA buttons’ color can dramatically increase your success rates, while your overall color scheme can increase brand recognition. Let’s cover the impact of #color psychology on consumers and how you can use it on your #website. What Is #Color Psychology?
The psychology of color can influence how your customers respond to your marketing messages based on the color of your copy, call-to-action buttons, and links. It’s all part of understanding the customer mindset. However, not every individual responds to colors the same way. This means there are no guarantees for its effects on conversions and #branding. Use Blue to Cultivate Trust Blue is heavily associated with trust, which may be why many financial institutions often choose it. PayPal, Capital One, Visa, and Bank of America are just a few of the financial companies using blue in their color schemes. Although various shades of blue can suggest different things, it also symbolizes: ● security ● loyalty ● responsibility Everything most of us would look for from a financial institution. However, while blue is pretty much an all-around great color, it may not work well for food packaging. Research indicates blue is a natural appetite suppressant, but, again, not everyone agrees. Yellow Equals Caution Yellow can signal caution. Warning signs, traffic signals, and wet floor signs all use yellow. That said, it’s not all bad. Yellow is a color we connect with warmth, positivity, and happiness. Yellow inspires creativity, joy, fun, and confidence, and the shade of yellow used can speak volumes, too. For example, a bright yellow incites attention and excitement, and golden yellow is correlated to curiosity. Green for Environmental and Outdoor Products Green is associated with the outdoors, nature, and the environment: we see a product in green packaging, and we automatically think of it as healthy or eco-friendly. Additionally, green can inspire creativity, innovation, and balance. If your website’s focus has anything to do with nature, the environment, organic, or outdoors, you might want to select green colors. Orange Is Positive Orange is a positive color linked to happiness, success, and determination. In addition, it gives a sense of warmth while appearing less aggressive than red. Like other warm colors, orange can feel energetic, and it may gain shoppers’ attention, leading to impulse purchases. For example, Amazon.com uses orange to trigger action. The color suggests urgency, which makes the message more noticeable and actionable. Black Means Elegance and Luxury Although we sometimes see black in a negative light, it’s a frequent choice for luxury retailers. Aside from the mystery associated with black, the color suggests elegance, luxury, and sophistication. In #color psychology, black represents authority, power, and prestige. This would explain why Prada, Rolls Royce, and Chanel use it in their logos. Use Bright Primary Colors for Your CTA Multiple studies have looked at the best colors for CTAs, and as you may expect, many of them disagree with each other.

We developed Scrum in the early 1990s. We wrote the first version of the Scrum Guide in 2010 to help people worldwide understand Scrum. We have evolved the Guide since then through small, functional updates. Together, we stand behind it.
The Scrum Guide contains the definition of Scrum. Each element of the framework serves a specific purpose that is essential to the overall value and results realized with Scrum. Changing the core design or ideas of Scrum, leaving out elements, or not following the rules of Scrum, covers up problems and limits the benefits of Scrum, potentially even rendering it useless.
We follow the growing use of Scrum within an ever-growing complex world. We are humbled to see Scrum being adopted in many domains holding essentially complex work, beyond software product development where Scrum has its roots. As Scrum’s use spreads, developers, researchers, analysts, scientists, and other specialists do the work. We use the word “developers” in Scrum not to exclude, but to simplify. If you get value from Scrum, consider yourself included. As Scrum is being used, patterns, processes, and insights that fit the Scrum framework as described in this document, may be found, applied and devised. Their description is beyond the purpose of the Scrum Guide because they are context sensitive and differ widely between Scrum uses. Such tactics for using within the Scrum framework vary widely and are described elsewhere.
Scrum Definition
Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems.
In a nutshell, Scrum requires a Scrum Master to foster an environment where: 1. A Product Owner orders the work for a complex problem into a Product Backlog 2. The Scrum Team turns a selection of the work into an Increment of value during a Sprint 3. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders inspect the results and adjust for the next Sprint 4. Repeat
Scrum is simple. Try it as is and determine if its philosophy, theory, and structure help to achieve goals and create value. The Scrum framework is purposefully incomplete, only defining the parts required to implement Scrum theory. Scrum is built upon by the collective intelligence of the people using it. Rather than provide people with detailed instructions, the rules of Scrum guide their relationships and interactions. Various processes, techniques and methods can be employed within the framework. Scrum wraps around existing practices or renders them unnecessary. Scrum makes visible the relative efficacy of current management, environment, and work techniques, so that improvements can be made.

Let's talk about #Scrum in detail and the definition of #Scrum?
Lightweight
Simple to understand
Difficult to master
The #Scrum framework consists of #Scrum Teams and their associated roles, events, artifacts, and rules. Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to #Scrum's success and usage.
The rules of #Scrum bind together the roles, events, and artifacts, governing the relationships and interaction between them. The rules of #Scrum will be discussed further throughout the rest of this series.

The fundamental values of #Scrum are found in:
Courage
Commitment
Focus
Openness
And Respect
When these are lived by and embodied in the #Scrum Team, these pillars come to life and foster trust and a willingness to communicate in everyone. The #Scrum Team members learn and explore these values as they work with the #Scrum events, roles, and artifacts.
Successful use of #Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living these five values. People personally commit to achieving the goals of the #Scrum Team. The #Scrum Team members have the /courage/ to do the right thing and work on tough problems. Everyone /focuses/ on the work of the #Sprint and the goals of the #Scrum Team. The #Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be /open/ about all the work and challenges with performing the work. #Scrum Team Members respect each other to be capable, independent people.

Research and identify viable #markets, technologies, and product capabilities;
Develop products and enhancements;
Release products and enhancements, as frequently as many times a day
Develop and sustain Cloud (online, secure, on-demand) and other operational environments for product use, and;
Sustain and renew products.
The essence of #Scrum is a small team of people. The individual team is highly flexible and adaptive. These strengths continue operating in various configurations and networks of teams that develop, release, operate, and sustain the work and products of thousands of people. They collaborate and interoperate through sophisticated development architectures and target release environments.
When the words "develop" and "development" are used in the #Scrum Guide, they refer to complex work, such as those types identified above.
In the next video, we'll be talking about the "The History and Theory of '#Scrum'"
Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aleph-global-scrum-team/message
The foundation of #Scrum lies in "empirical process control theory," or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. #Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: #Transparency, #Inspection, and #Adaptation.
Significant aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the outcome. #Transparency requires those aspects to be defined by a common standard so observers share a common understanding of what is being seen.
That is to say: A common language referring to the parts of the process must be shared by all participants, and,
Those performing the work and those inspecting the resulting increment must also share a common definition of "#Done."
If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the process or the material being processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation.
The #Scrum framework includes four formal events for #Inspection and #Adaptation, as described in the #Scrum Events sections of the #Scrum Guide™
#Sprint Planning
Daily #Scrum
#Sprint Review
#Sprint Retrospective

The #Scrum Team consists of a #Product #Owner, The Development Team, and a #Scrum #Master. #Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional. Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team. The team model in #Scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and productivity. The #Scrum Team has proven itself to be increasingly effective for all the earlier stated uses, and any complex work.

I’m a big fan of managing #SEO in-house, yet, I usually find that doing 100% of the work in-house is not the best approach for most businesses. Even the best companies and top #SEO teams around the globe still outsource a few things. Here are some real-world scenarios where it can make sense to augment your in-house team with external partners.
1: You haven't done #SEO at this point (or in some time) and are simply beginning For an enormous venture association or an unpredictable site, I prescribe a #SEO review to realize the issues you're managing. In the event that your in-house #SEO director has what it takes, and the time, do it in-house. For a little association with a less intricate site, fire finding out about #SEO, go to preparing and address every one of the essentials you can. At that point get somebody for a review that will address more perplexing issues. 2: You've been doing #SEO for some time and can't help thinking about what more you could be doing This is the easy decision time to get a new viewpoint. Indeed, even the most ranking directors do this consistently. 3: You're having trouble getting non-SEO groups to do a lot of #SEO and to get the #SEO group remembered for projects This is when getting somebody from outside the association can move mountains. Get somebody who sees how to drive an adjustment of conduct in non-SEO groups, not simply somebody who can discuss #SEO. 4: Traffic fell and you don't know why This is another obvious time to bring in a fresh set of eyes to identify what may be holding back your #SEO program. 5: You need #SEO announcing set up When there is no #SEO reporting in place, we recommended an analytics consultant to come in and set up reporting that pulls in data from Google Search Console and their analytics system into a data mart. 6: You need QA support Sometimes you just have complex situations that creep up, and you want to make sure you get it right. Having someone to reach out to will save you a lot of #SEO problems and possible revenue loss. 7: You need a subsequent assessment There is nothing better than talking through a challenging situation with someone else to identify the risks and requirements. Just having someone to go to will allow you to get more work done in less time. 8: XML sitemap creation XML sitemaps have a few strict requirements, and I find a lot of #SEO teams end up doing this themselves. In these companies, it often makes more sense to just outsource it. 9: A lot of substance creation When you need a large amount of content created, this is often best outsourced. It may be that you don’t choose a content agency, but work with the brand team’s preferred writers. There are so many instances where it makes sense to pull in talent to get your revenue lifts sooner. So while I love in-house #SEO, and I advocate for it, it often makes sense to pull in specialists to help you be more effective and faster with some activities.

The #Product #Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the #Development Team. How this is done may vary widely across organizations, #Scrum Teams, and individuals.
The #Product #Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. Product Backlog management includes:
Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
Optimizing the value of the work the #Development Team performs;
Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the #Scrum Team will work on next; and,
Ensuring the #Development Team understands items in the Product Backlog to the level needed.
The #Product #Owner may do the above work, or have the #Development Team do it. However, the #Product #Owner remains accountable.
The #Product #Owner is one person, not a committee. The #Product #Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog, but those wanting to change a Product Backlog item's priority must address the #Product #Owner.
For the #Product #Owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. The Product Owner's decisions are visible in the content of ordering of the Product Backlog. No one can force the #Development Team to work from a different set of requirements.

The Development Team consists of professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of "#Done" product at the end of each #Sprint. A "Done" increment is required at the #Sprint Review. Only members of the #Development Team create the Increment.
They are self-organizing. No one (not even the #Scrum #Master) tells the #Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality;
#Development teams are cross-functional, with all the skills as a team necessary to create a product Increment;
#Scrum recognizes no title for #Development Team members, regardless of the work being performed by the person;
#Scrum recognizes no sub-teams in the #Development Team, regardless of domains that need to be addressed like testing, architecture, operations, or business analysis; and,
Individual #Development Team members may have specialized skills and areas of focus, but accountability belongs to the #Development Team as a whole.

The #Scrum #Master is responsible for promoting and supporting #Scrum as defined in the #Scrum Guide. #Scrum Masters do this by helping understand #Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.
The #Scrum #Master is a servant-leader for the #Scrum Team. The #Scrum #Master helps those outside the #Scrum Team understand which of their interactions with the #Scrum Team are helpful and which aren't. The #Scrum #Master helps everyone change these interactions to maximize the value created by the #Scrum Team.
The #Scrum #Master serves the #Product #Owner in several ways, including:
Ensuring the goals, scope, and product domain are understood by everyone on the #Scrum Team as well as possible;
Finding techniques for effective Product Backlog;
Helping the #Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise Product Backlog items;
Understanding product planning in an empirical environment;
Ensuring the #Product #Owner knows how to arrange the Product Backlog to maximize value;
Understanding and practicing #agility; and,
Facilitating #Scrum events as requested or needed.
The #Scrum #Master serves the Development Team in several ways, including:
Coaching the Development Team in self-organization and cross-functionality;
Helping the Development Team to create high-value products;
Removing impediments to the Development Team's progress;
Facilitating #Scrum events as requested or needed; and,
Coaching the Development Team in organizational environments in which #scrum is not yet fully adopted and understood.
The #Scrum #Master serves in the Organization in several ways, including:
Leading and coaching the organization in its #Scrum adoption
Planning #Scrum implementations within the organization;
Helping employees and stakeholders understand and enact #Scrum and empirical product development;

For more videos visit us at www.aleph-technologies.com Before we start, I need to state that #SAFe is a proprietary trademark, and many of the images and information used in this video is property of Scaled #Agile, Inc. If you wish to view everything in more detail, please visit www.ScaledAgile.com. The first and arguably most important aspect of #SAFe is the Seven Core Competencies, and an inseparable aspect of #SAFe. These are a set of seven essential Competencies of #SAFe that make up what not only allows for #agility but also allows for #Agile to be scaled up. These seven are Enterprise Solution Delivery, #Agile Product Delivery, Team and Technical Agility, Lean-#Agile Leadership, Continuous Learning culture, Organizational #Agility, and Lean Portfolio Management. What do these seven competencies mean? Let me tell you. Enterprise Solution Delivery is all about applying Lean-#Agile principles and practices to the development, deployment, and operations of massive-scale software applications, networks, and systems. It’s essential to keeping agility on a large scale. #Agile Product delivery is focused on a customer-centric approach to building and releasing quality products and services consistently to consumers, allowing constant improvement and flow of feedback. Team and Technical #Agility is the oil that makes businesses work-- it’s focused on improving communication and agility within the teams and between employees, a set of practices #Agile teams can use to create high-quality solutions. Lean-#Agile Leadership is focused on those who drive organizational change and ensure smooth operation by cultivating positive #Agile practices and culture, particularly through leading by example. Continuous Learning Culture is a set of practices and principles that encourage the cultivation of knowledge, competence, motivation to perform, and innovation within individuals of an organization. Organizational #Agility is about how Lean-thinking people and #Agile teams optimize their business processes and evolve strategies with clear and easy-to-understand commitments and goals, as well as enabling quick adaptation needed to capitalize on new opportunities. Lean Portfolio Management is the practice of aligning strategy and execution by applying Lean principles to strategy and investment funding, managing a set of development Value Streams. You may be able to see why these Seven Core Competencies are so important. This makeup what’s newest in #SAFe 5.0-- Business #Agility. This ensures quick response time, ease of improvement, and increased employee and consumer satisfaction-- even for large organizations. Despite seeming like a lot, that’s just a fragment of what makes up #SAFe. There are multiple different configurations of #SAFe to apply to every business situation. The first and most basic configuration of SAFe-- available for large-scale, but not massive, organizations-- is Essential #SAFe. This has three components as part of it, these being Vision, Roadmap, and System Team. The Vision is a description of the future state of the Solution that’s under development. It reflects the needs of the customer and Stakeholders.
Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aleph-global-scrum-team/message
Essential #SAFe starts with the support of Business Owners. These are a small group of stakeholders who have the primary business and technical responsibility for a return on investment. They are key stakeholders on the #Agile Release Train who evaluate fitness for use. They ultimately steer the #ART where it needs to be to successfully accomplish its goal. The #ART is then supported by the #RTE, Product Management, and a System Architect/Engineer, who work together to ensure the #ART functions as intended. Under the #ART team, you have the bread and butter of the #solution development; The essentials of Essential #SAFe are built around principles, such as Customer Centricity and Design thinking, as well as systems to develop software through Program Backlogs, Team Backlogs, #ScrumXP, and other developed systems like the Continuous Delivery Pipeline. Customer Centricity is built on the knowledge of Customers being the ultimate beneficiaries of the value of the business solutions that are created and maintained by the portfolio value streams. Customer Centricity is a mindset and way of doing business that expressly focuses on creating positive experiences for the customer, a deeply-integrated mindset that thinks about how the software will be integrated with the end user’s needs, rather than how they can use it as an afterthought. This in turn generates higher profits and better employee engagement, as developers are more likely to enjoy developing a product that they know the end-user is going to like. Design Thinking is a customer-centric development process that creates desirable products that are profitable and supported over their lifecycle, as opposed to a haphazardly designed product that is almost impossible to work on after being shipped. Program backlogs are holding areas for upcoming features, addressing user needs, and delivering business benefits for a single #ART. Product Management has responsibility for the Program Backlog, ensuring the items result from research and collaboration with stakeholders, part of the Continuous Exploration process, part of the Continuous Delivery pipeline, which we’ll get into in a moment. Team Backlogs contain user and enabler Stories that originate from the Program Backlog, as well as stories that arise from development within the team. The Product Owner is responsible for the allocation and balance of the Team Backlog in a way that benefits both the team and the #ART. #ScrumXP is a lightweight process designed to deliver value for self-organized teams within #SAFe. It takes effective, powerful #Scrum practices and combines them with Extreme Programming practices. #ScrumXP details two essential characteristics of Team and Technical Agility, where #Scrum provides guidance for team #agility and XP for technical practices.

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
We follow these principles: 1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. 5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. 6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. 7. Working software is the primary measure of progress. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. 10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. 11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. 12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

From caveman drawings to silent movies, #visual storytelling has been used to educate, engage, and motivate audiences for centuries. What is #visual storytelling? “#Visual storytelling involves the use of graphics, images, pictures, and videos to engage with viewers in an effort to drive emotions, engage intercommunication, and motivate an audience to action.”
Tension: Motivate people to keep consuming the story. Entertainment: Hook them in the first eight seconds. Education: Give information so the viewer is better educated on the topic. #Micro-interactions: Ensure that even the seemingly small and discrete aspects – the movement of objects, the page’s dynamic adaptation – provide a good experience. Call to action: Make sure your team is clear on what you want the audience to do after consuming the story. Then work backward to design the #visual storytelling to achieve it. Now, let’s go through 3 Stunning Examples that Show #Visual Storytelling at Its Best
Why Is Simone Biles the World’s Best Gymnast? (The New York Times) The New York Times produced a set of video profiles of athletes representing Team USA in the 2016 Summer Olympics, including Why Is Simone Biles the World’s Best Gymnast? Through this almost three-minute video, viewers get an in-depth explanation of Simone’s brilliant gymnastic moves. What gives this piece such impact? “During that story, the audience is not inundated with too much information, just a few facts that are brilliantly translated through #storytelling with multiple mediums using live motion, infographics, typography, and short interview segments.” Takeaways: Use editorial and sound design to provoke emotion (tension). Don’t shy away from mixing multiple mediums to make your point (entertain). Limit information to valuable facts to aid in recall (education). Use infographics to explain the complex in a digestible manner (education). Population Healthier (Athenahealth sponsored content on The Atlantic) Population Healthier, a microsite on The Atlantic sponsored by Athenahealth, tells the story of “[h]ow one radically diverse, mid-sized American city has managed to make its communities healthier while winning the fight against skyrocketing costs.” The subject matter is thought-provoking. “This is not superficial. This goes into depth. There is an understanding of the complexities of the health-care system, as well as complexities inherent to this community. It’s good journalism
Takeaways: Deepen the readers’ understanding through meaningful visual elements (educate). Don’t just inform, challenge the reader to understand (tension). Always move the viewer to the next desired step (call to action). Areas of Focus (Nikon-sponsored content on The Atlantic) The Areas of Focus microsite is a single-page, interactive photo gallery. It tells the story of photographer Jim McNeill, who was given a Nikon Z 7 camera and asked to spend time following a street musician and a speakeasy club in New York City. The site takes you on an engaging and visually captivating journey through New York City with the Nikon camera as the co-star.
Takeaways: Move the reader through conversational storytelling (entertain). Identify what’s most important to your audience and make it simple to engage with (micro-interactions). Drive to an integrated product page where it makes sense (call to action). What visual story do you have to tell? You don’t need a big budget to apply the concepts outlined to create great visual stories – create tension, entertain, educate, facilitate #micro-interactions, and issue a clear call to action. Almost everybody is publishing text-based blog posts and articles these days. Far fewer are doing visual storytelling. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Before we start, I need to state that #SAFe is a proprietary trademark, and many of the images and information used in this video is property of Scaled #Agile, Inc. If you wish to view everything in more detail, please visit www.ScaledAgile.com.
Large Solution #SAFe utilizes everything Essential #SAFe offers, building on it with additional roles, practices, and guidance to build large-scale applications and networks. As with every component of #SAFe, Large Solution #SAFe starts with the people needed to make it happen. These are the #Solution Architect/Engineer, #Solution Management, and #Solution Train Engineer. ● The #Solution Architect/Engineer is responsible for defining and communicating a shared technical and architectural vision across a #Solution Train to ensure the #solution under development fits its intended purpose. They analyze technical trade-offs and work to make the end product of quality and fitness. ● Product Management supports building desirable and feasible products that meet customer needs. They utilize a customer-centric mindset where the customer is at the center of every decision, supported by the tools and techniques of Design Thinking. ● The #Solution Train Engineer is a servant leader for the Solution Train, facilitating and guiding work across all #ARTs and suppliers in the Value Stream. They don’t manage teams; rather, they steer the entire #Solution Train in the right direction, so that they work as efficiently as possible.
After #Solution Intent, items decided upon are placed into the #Solution Backlog. This is the holding area for upcoming Capabilities and Enablers, each of which can span multiple #ARTs and is intended to advance the #Solution. #Solution Management is responsible for the #Solution Backlog, placing items in them that result from research activities to collaboration with stakeholders.
The #Solution Train is next, pulling items from the #Solution Backlog. This train builds large and complex #solutions, possibly requiring thousands of people to develop. These could be anything from commercially-available cars to defense systems for militaries. The #Solution Train provides roles, events, and artifacts necessary to coordinate building important systems, where any mistake or slip up could have dire consequences. Within the #Solution Train, there are Suppliers, internal or external organizations that develop and deliver components that help #Solution Trains. Suppliers support high-value solutions by providing unique competencies and distinctive skills. They provide the expertise that can accelerate solution delivery. Within the #Solution Train, there are #Solution Demos, where development efforts show results to stakeholders. It’s an essential part of the train, offering feedback and objective evaluation for the #Solution. Within this, new capabilities, compliances, and overall fitness is demonstrated.
There you have the components of Large Solution #SAFe. As with Portfolio #SAFe, this is in conjunction with the Essential components of #SAFe as well as part of Full #SAFe, which is all the configurations combined. For more information on #SAFe and Agile, don’t forget to subscribe, and remember to be #Agile.

You’re creating valuable #content and, if all’s going well, you’re attracting new visitors to your website and blog. Beyond getting direct inquiries about your products or services, you should use visitors’ interest to build your email list so you can stay in contact with these potential prospects. Here are 14 types of opt-ins you can use to grow your mailing list. General opt-in First, let’s look at the type of opt-ins you can use on your main website. 1. Squeeze page Your squeeze page is a landing page with one goal – to encourage visitors to subscribe to your The best way to ensure conversions from your squeeze page is to focus on something themail list. at visitors would receive once they subscribe. 2. Toolbar Have you seen at the top of websites the toolbars that disappear when you scroll or scroll with you down the page? Those can be used for opt-in forms as well. They are great for website owners who want to put their opt-in form first without pop-ups. 3. Header If you want to go for a bolder approach, a header opt-in form may be the answer. These are designed to take up more real estate so they can’t be missed. Header opt-ins can be created with WordPress plug-ins like Plugmatter and website templates or themes designed with header opt-in forms. 4. Footer Toolbars can be added to the bottom of your website as well as the top to capture opt-ins. Alternatively, you can place an opt-in form in the footer of your website to ensure that those who have made it to the bottom don’t leave without giving you their email address. 5. Slide-in Slide-ins create the movement of a pop-up without being a pop-up. Hence, they get noticed, especially when they are timed properly. They need to give people enough time to decide if they like your website but not so much time that the visitor has already left.
Pop-up The pop-up is one of the most familiar opt-in forms lately, and for a good reason. Even the data scientist of HubSpot found that it increases email opt-ins without hurting anything else.
Exit intent For those who do not want to interrupt visitors until they are ready to leave, there are pop-ups based on exit intent. These pop-up tools detect when someone is trying to navigate away from your website and, at that moment, launch your pop-up for an email opt-in.

● A Mindset
Much like #Agile, #DevOps is a mindset, integrated into a team culture. It’s used to bring better communication with the software and IT teams. It does this by working a new software development method into the development team, where smaller increments are deployed in hours rather than days, so bugs can be reported, fixed faster, and managed more easily.
● One Piece at a Time
When building a house, you go one brick at a time, rather than building four walls separately, then cutting them down to fit when they’re all different sizes. This is the #DevOps approach-- one small part at a time, dealing with the bugs and problems in the software in small bits, building it up to be better integrated. Because of this smaller-part approach, possibly game-breaking bugs can be spotted sooner and with less repercussions should they happen.
● Done Faster, Done Better
When feedback comes around faster, teams work faster. Fast, transparent communication keeps teams working, making the downtime as one team waits for feedback much shorter. When teams work faster and communicate better, they can put out a product sooner, and have it be stronger than in traditional frameworks.
● Frequent Delivery
With small and frequent software changes, content can be reviewed and polished to be ready much sooner than traditional, large-scale updates. This leads to frequent delivery of #content, where customers can review the software as it builds and send feedback before something they want to be changed has already had hours of work put into it.
● Shared Data, Shared Ideas
In a DevOps mindset, data and work are shared among the group, which integrates a culture of feedback and teamwork. Imagine you’ve written code, and there is a bug embedded in it you somehow missed, and it could lead to a memory leak that significantly impairs the performance of the software increment. Rather than bringing the code into the #increment and having to fix the issue after it’s already caused a problem, another team member could spot it in the work you’ve shared with the team and rectify it before it causes downtime.
Those are the basics of the #DevOps method. #Certifications like #SAFe DevOps and #ICP-IDO are utilizing #DevOps to integrate a better back-and-forth between operations and development.

In the world of #Agile, it’s hard to have not heard of #SAFe. One of the leading frameworks for enterprise-scale #Agile, it’s been widely adopted within the past decade when it was first introduced. It’s constantly evolving and adapting with the times, now on its fifth full iteration. It’s worth asking, why has #SAFe exploded in popularity? What is #SAFe?
Since the time Scaled #Agile released #SAFe 4.6 in late 2018, they were taking feedback and analytics and developing something new that would sharpen the efficiency of the framework, as well as allow increased flexibility in business decisions. Implemented in 5.0 and shaking the foundations of #Agile, Business #Agility was introduced. It requires that everyone involved in delivering solutions-- like IT, #marketing, support, compliance, and more-- use Lean and #Agile practices in their own departments to continually deliver innovative, high-quality products.
Like Scrum, #SAFe prides itself in its ease of use while remaining difficult to master. Mastery of these competencies enables enterprises to make decisions and react appropriately to turbulent situations, like a rapidly changing #market, developing technologies, and customer needs. Each of these Seven Core Competencies is built around providing businesses a safe, stable way to ensure employee contentment, client satisfaction, flexibility, and effective communication.
Scaled #Agile has the numbers to back up why so many businesses are scaling #Agile using #SAFe. Numerous case studies have shown that enterprises, both large and small, are greatly benefiting from #SAFe implementation. This includes a 20-50% increase in productivity, 25-75% improvement in quality, 30-75% faster time-to-#market, and a 10-50% increase in employee engagement and job satisfaction, which affects all other aspects of the company. This has led to #SAFe being #implemented in seventy percent of Fortune 100 companies.
So, why should you choose #SAFe? Many would say the evidence speaks for itself, but it’s important to keep asking and learning. #SAFe provides a highly effective and efficient platform for installing #Agile in organizations both large and small through techniques and elements both new as well as tried-and-tested. It has a flexible but sturdy system of seven core competencies that can apply to any business situation. Because #SAFe is so widely adopted, it will be supported and developed for years to come.

In ALEPH’s new #ICAgile - #Agility in #Marketing course, you will learn and experience the ins and outs of #Agile #marketing. In this course, you will move through the foundational basics of #Agile #marketing through interactive, team-based exercises. This encourages learning in an #Agile way. You will learn the clear definitions of #Agile #Marketing, understand the difference between #marketing to serve and #marketing to sell, and finally how to attract and retain customers through building trust.
Why should you learn #Agility in #Marketing?
Why is #marketing so difficult in the modern world? It was never easy, but now it seems nearly impossible for #marketers to get a foothold in an oversaturated, overblown #market. In summary, some of these challenges are:
● Untrusting consumers. Thanks to decades of increasing spam and poor business practice, consumers are now becoming less trusting and less likely to offer interest in something being #marketed to them through most traditional means.
● Oversaturated #market. The #Market has Become Flush with Various Options for Consumers, Making it hard to stand out.
● High expectations: Due to the Outstanding Experiences offered by companies like Amazon and Apple, Consumers now expect this in every interaction with Companies.
These are just some of the challenges that #marketers face. It brings to mind a classic #business acronym, #VUCA. #VUCA, or Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity, essentially means “It’s unpredictable.”, and the #market seems to fit this now more than ever. The rapid advancement of technology as well as an increasingly sophisticated consumer base is making it hard to even begin on a #marketing push before things change again. This is why the need for #Agile #marketing is bigger than ever. With one of the key aspects of #Agile being the ability to change course quickly and with stability, it makes sense for #marketing to benefit greatly from it.
Through the 2nd and 3rd lessons, the course will teach you how to focus and achieve #marketing outcomes, tools for adaptive #marketing, collaboration, the benefits of #Agile’s short iterations, and more. #ALEPH uses real-world case studies, like the #Agile transformation of the UK bank Santander and personal experience, along with interactive group activities to provide practical, applicable knowledge.
Applying #Agile to marketing is one of the best ways to bring #Marketing into the modern-day.

To find great marketing ideas you should put yourself in the shoes of your buyer’s persona and think like your customer.
That’s good advice but it’s not as easy as it sounds. You can’t walk in a person’s shoes or think like customers unless you go into the field to do your research.
Here are some less-used channels and non-obvious sources to help you come up with #content that works well for your audience.
1. Job descriptions Your persona may include roles or titles. Use those to dig deeper and do an internet search for job descriptions, which often can be found in job postings.
Job descriptions reveal key responsibilities, key performance indicators (KPI) they must deliver, and who they report to within the organization. With that knowledge, you can create #content to educate your audience on how to meet these responsibilities and KPIs effectively.
2. Industry leaders on LinkedIn Follow industry players who are active on LinkedIn. What they share and write often reflects the latest insights in your industry.
Look over the posts and comments to identify which are the hottest topics and create #content around that.
TIP: If the commenter’s statement would be valuable to include in your content, ask them if it’s OK for you to publish and support your positioning. This also helps build relationships with industry players who may be willing to share your #content.
3. #Sales calls Join your #sales team for the next demo or call. Listen to the prospects’ frustrations and pains. Note the keywords your prospects use. Be especially attentive to their jargon. Develop #content that includes their exact words or craft article intros that address their pain points.
Each pain point identified in the prospects’ answers reveals a #content opportunity to solve their problem, whether it be with educational materials, explanatory infographics, video tutorials, etc.
4. Customer service The next hidden gem is your customer support team. They are in the closest regular contact with the clients. Imagine how many insights they collect. While you can’t listen to every customer service interaction, you can use tools to collect that information from the customer support silo.
Turn on email notifications from your customer service chatbot. Your customers’ questions – and your company’s answers – will be delivered straight to your inbox. The information you collect is a good baseline for your product-related content, the FAQ section, and tutorials.

You can also create (or reuse) content directly from your #webinars. For example, you can write a takeaway wrapup. Or you could reuse a subtopic’s content and add a third-party expert opinion.

Prescribed events are used in #Scrum to create regularity and to minimize the need for meetings not defined in #Scrum. All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. Once a #Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events may end whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the process.
Other than the #Sprint itself, which is a container for all other events, each event in #Scrum is a formal opportunity to inspect and adapt something. These events are specifically designed to enable critical #transparency and inspection. Failure to include any of these events results in reduced #transparency and is a lost opportunity to inspect and adapt.
That being said, the #Sprint is the heart of #Scrum. A Sprint is a time-box of one month or less during which a "#Done," usable, and potentially releasable product #Increment is created. #Sprints have consistent durations throughout a development effort. A new #Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous #Sprint.
During the #Sprint:
No changes are made that would endanger the #Sprint Goal Quality goals do not decreases; and, The scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the #Product #Owner and #Development Team as more is learned.
Each #Sprint may be considered a project with no more than a one-month horizon. Like projects, #Sprints are used to accomplish something. Each #Sprint has a goal of what is to be built, a design and flexible plan that will guide building it, the work, and the resultant product #Increment.

A #Sprint can be canceled before the #Sprint time-box is over. Only the #Product #Owner has the authority to cancel the #Sprint, although he or she may do so under influence from the stakeholders, the #Development Team, or the #Scrum #Master.
A #Sprint would be canceled if the #Spring Goal becomes obsolete. This might occur if the company changes direction or if #market or technology conditions change. In general, a #Sprint should be canceled if it no longer makes sense given the circumstances. But, due to the short duration of #Sprints, cancellation rarely makes sense.
When a #Sprint is canceled, any completed and "#Done" Product Backlog items are reviewed. If part of the work is potentially releasable, the #Product #Owner typically accepts it. All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog. The work done on them depreciates quickly and must be frequently re-estimated.

The #Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a #Sprint and the value of the #increments of all previous #Sprints. At the end of a #Sprint, the new #Increment must be "#Done," which means it must be in usable condition and meet the #Scrum Team’s definition of "#Done". An #increment is a body of inspectable, done work that supports empiricism at the end of the #Sprint. The #increment is a step toward a vision or goal. The #increment must be in usable condition regardless of whether the #Product #Owner decides to release it.

What is #SEO really? We need to be clear: Great people are doing extraordinary work in the field of search engine optimization. When you think about it, it’s amazing that #Google’s search product has become so important to business. The majority of an $80 billion industry is built around trying to decipher how to optimize businesses to comply with #Google’s complex, sophisticated algorithm. But we should recognize that most businesses attempting to decipher #Google are not in the elite category. In fact, only 36% of small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) even have an #SEO strategy. So, what should we do about #SEO? Future of search engines: The big picture Before we can nudge search in the right direction, we need to get a good look at where we think #Google thinks it is headed. We aren’t talking about things like voice search and mobile optimization – we need to think bigger than that. Where does #Google think OUR search is really headed in the long term? Here’s what we know: Google is focusing more on search journeys, less on queries.
Sure, people still will turn to #Google to find out a celebrity’s age or how many ounces are in a cup. But #Google wants to guide them to the next step and the next so they return to #Google again and again for guidance in their day-to-day life. (#Google has been transparent about this.) So instead of just helping a searcher find out how old Harrison Ford is, #Google wants to be there waiting with answers to inevitable follow-up questions such as what year Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom came out. When a searcher asks about ounces in a cup, #Google will have the best chocolate chip cookie recipes ready to go.
Again, there are nefarious implications. These cards are often eerily relevant because Google is using your personal data and search history to compile them. That may give you the heebie-jeebies, but hey, it makes for a good search experience. Beyond this, #Google’s new tactics, theoretically, take ranking to another level of difficulty. As our friend Arnie Kuenn once said, “The best place to hide a dead body is on page two of a #Google search.” The fight to be a top spot just got way more difficult with personalized pages. Why? My search results for “headphones” are going to be different than yours because I’m on an iPhone in California logged in to my #Google account and just looked for new microphones. It becomes overwhelming to think about how to strategize for so many variables. But we shouldn’t just be talking about #Google. Every day, #Google’s share of the search pie is encroached upon by other search engines that also are becoming more sophisticated (and in some ways, more diabolical). For example, when it comes to product searches, more users (46.7%) turn to Amazon before they get to Google (36.4%). And as privacy becomes a more important issue, Apple maps may give #Google a run for its money in the search for where we’re going. Remember: #SEO stands for search engine optimization – not Google optimization. If you work on #SEO and only think about what #Google wants, you’re bound to be left in the dust. The future of search drivers: That’s us In 2020, content sometimes moves faster than search. In March 2020, 57% of millennials surveyed said they got their news from social media sites more than any other source. Think carefully about what that means. It does not mean that more than half of millennials are cruising Facebook every morning, clicking on links to CNN and The

The #Sprint Goal is an objective set for the #Sprint that can be met through the implementation of Product Backlog. It provides guidance to the #Development Team on why it is building the Increment. It is created during the #Sprint Planning meeting. The #Sprint Goal gives the #Development Team some flexibility regarding the functionality implemented within the #Sprint. The selected Product Backlog items deliver one coherent function, which can be the #Sprint Goal. The #Sprint Goal can be any other coherence that causes the #Development Team to work together rather than on separate initiatives.
As the #Development Team works, it keeps the #Sprint Goal in mind. In order to satisfy the #Sprint Goal, it implements functionality and technology. If the work turns out to be different than the #Development Team expected, they collaborate with the #Product #Owner to negotiate the scope of #Sprint Backlog within the #Sprint.

They are self-organizing. No one (not even the #Scrum Master) tells the #Development Team how to turn Product Backlog into Increments of potentially releasable functionality;

Maybe your #content promotion budget’s been slashed. Maybe you never had one. Maybe you just want to give every #content piece – blog, article, e-book, or video – the best chance to perform before deciding which ones to invest any of your paid promotion budget in. Whatever the reason, use this resource to help your audience find your content without spending much more than time. Remember, you’ll likely revisit many of these items throughout the #content’s life cycle because the publishing process is a cycle of planning, creating, promoting, measuring, and optimizing. Plan for #traffic
In the planning stage, decide where and how you’ll get people to the #content. At this point, most of the work involves SEO, though your overall plan likely will use some combination of SEO, social promotion, email alerts and newsletters, personal outreach, and channels.
Consider search intent One of the most important steps in the planning stage is to put yourself in your reader’s shoes. What questions do they have about the topic you’re planning to cover? How would they phrase the questions? What kind of content are they looking for (informational, transactional, or navigational)? Structure content and build relationships for backlinks and social promotion
Backlinks to your #content are an important ranking factor. Of course, you can’t earn backlinks until the piece is live, but you can plan the content to be a backlink magnet. One of the best ways we’ve found to do this is to conduct and plan content around original research. CMI blogs about original research can be top link earners. Another way to create #content for backlink success is to feature interviews with experts in your field. This helps make your post authoritative and almost guarantees that the post will be shared. People who know and think favorably about you are more likely to link to your work. Interact organically with writers, editors, influencers, and industry figures to develop a relationship before you want them to link to your #content. During creation Incorporate the work from the planning stage into your #content brief (if you’re assigning) or the content itself (if you’re the creator). Then, make sure to do the following as you create, edit, and prepare the content for publishing. Optimize your #content for search Apply the research you did during the planning stage to your #content. You’ve probably read dozens of articles on how to do this. Incorporate the key terms, phrases, and questions into each of these elements: URL Page title Meta description Headlines Heading (H1, H2, H3) tags Image metadata Remember to optimize titles and descriptions for videos too. Add links to related and best performing posts Make sure to spread the traffic love from one post to another on your site through internal linking. The simplest way to do this is to link text phrases within a post to an article (or video) that helps the reader learn more.
TIP: Keep the reader’s interest in mind. Include links that help a reader explore a topic more thoroughly. Don’t link to articles just to meet some guideline for the optimal number of internal links within an article. If it’s not related, leave it out.
Add links to your new post from older, high-#traffic blog posts Look for high-traffic articles or pages on your site related to the content you’re creating. Write a reminder to yourself or instructions for your production team to add a link to the new #content (once it’s live) from that high-traffic page. Add Click to Tweet Click to Tweet makes it easy for your readers to quickly tweet about your #content – you’ve essentially done the work for them (they can edit or customize th

The #Product #Owner is the sole person responsible for managing the Product Backlog. Product Backlog management includes:
Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
Optimizing the value of the work the #Development Team performs;
Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what the #Scrum Team will work on next; and,
Ensuring the #Development Team understands items in the Product Backlog to the level needed.
The #Product #Owner may do the above work, or have the #Development Team do it. However, the #Product #Owner remains accountable.
The #Product #Owner is one person, not a committee. The #Product #Owner may represent the desires of a committee in the Product Backlog, but those wanting to change a Product Backlog item's priority must address the #Product #Owner.
For the #Product #Owner to succeed, the entire organization must respect his or her decisions. The #Product #Owner's decisions are visible in the #content of ordering of the Product Backlog. No one can force the #Development Team to work from a different set of requirements.

The foundation of #Scrum lies in "#empirical process control theory," or #empiricism. #Empiricism asserts that #knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. #Scrum employs an #iterative, #incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. Three pillars uphold every #implementation of empirical process control: #Transparency, #Inspection, and #Adaptation.
Significant aspects of the #process must be visible to those #responsible for the outcome. #Transparency requires those #aspects to defined by a common standard so observers share a common #understanding of what is being seen. That is to say: A common language referring to the parts of the process must be shared by all #participants, and, Those #performing the work and those inspecting the resulting #increment must also share a common definition of "#Done."
#Scrum users must frequently inspect #Scrumartifacts and progress towards a #SprintGoal to detect undesirable variances. Their #inspection should not be so frequent that #inspection gets in the way of work. #Inspections are most beneficial when diligently performed by skilled inspectors at the point of work.
If an inspector #determines that one or more #aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the #process or the material being #processed must be adjusted. An #adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation.
The #Scrumframework includes four #formalevents for #Inspection and #Adaptation, as described in the #ScrumEvents sections of the #ScrumGuide™ #Sprint Planning Daily #Scrum #Sprint Review #Sprint Retrospective

The #Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the #Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next #Sprint.
The #Sprint Retrospective occurs after the #Sprint Review and prior to the next #Sprint Planning. This is at most a three-hour meeting for one-month #Sprints. For shorter #Sprints, the event is usually shorter. The #Scrum #Master ensures that the event takes place and that attendants understand its purpose.
The #Scrum #Master ensures that the meeting is positive and productive. The #Scrum #Master teaches all to keep it within the time-box. The #Scrum #Master participates as a peer team member in the meeting from the accountability over the #Scrum process.
The purpose of the #Sprint Retrospective is to:
Inspect how the last #Sprint went with regards to people, relationships, process, and tools;
Identify and order the major items that went well and potential improvement; and,
Create a plan for implementing improvements to the way the #Scrum Team does its work.
The #Scrum #Master encourages the #Scrum Team to improve, within the #Scrum process framework, its development process, and practices to make it more effective and enjoyable for the next #Sprint. During each #Sprint Retrospective, the #Scrum Team plans ways to increase product quality by improving work processes or adapting the definition of "#Done", if appropriate and not in conflict with product or organizational standards.
By the end of the #Sprint Retrospective, the #Scrum Team should have identified improvements that it will implement in the next #Sprint. Implementing these improvements in the next #Sprint is the adaptation to the inspection of the #Scrum Team itself. Although improvements may be implemented at any time, the #Sprint Retrospective provides a formal opportunity to focus on inspection and adaptation.
In the next video, we'll be talking about "#Scrum artifacts"

Many #marketers talk about creating valuable #content. What does it mean for a piece of #content to have value? If your #content offers value, is it guaranteed to succeed? The short answer to the latter question is: No. A lot of factors play into success. But you’re more likely to reach your goals if you first vet your content ideas. Use this checklist to confirm which ideas are worth pursuing. 1. Is it something your #audience wants? This is the most important criteria. If you spend time and money putting together #content no one really asked for, it’s more likely to fall flat.
How can you make sure a #content idea matches an actual want or need of your #audience? First, establish a process to sync with a sales representative and a customer service representative (if applicable) to find what current customers/clients are curious about. Does your idea fall into those curiosities or concerns? Second, perform question or keyword research on your idea to see if it’s among the questions people are asking or the information they are trying to find. Many tools can help you do this. Among them: Answer the Public and BuzzSumo collect questions from across the web. Keyword Surfer and Keywords Everywhere are browser extensions that pull keyword volume and other info right in the SERPs. Google’s People Also Ask feature, autocomplete, etc., provide more insight on similar search queries.
When you find keywords that match your #content idea, what’s the volume of the keywords? Lower volume is fine if you’re creating bottom-of-the-funnel content, but if you’re trying to reach a more general #audience, you might want a #content idea with a higher relevant keyword volume. 2. Has the idea been done? You come up with an idea you think is fantastic; it fits the brand, it helps your target #audience, and your team can create it with their available time and resources. But make sure to check that the idea hasn’t been done. Often, this is as simple as a Google search, but you’re not just looking for direct matches. For example, say the idea is to write a post about favorite Halloween candy across the country. A quick search of “top Halloween candy by state” reveals many websites have published #content on this idea:
Now you could argue people love this type of content, which is why so many sites are doing it, and you have a new way to write about which candy is the most popular. But if your content doesn’t typically compete with popular sites like Delish and Better Homes and Gardens, you might not want to throw your version of this idea into the ring. Audiences already have seen the same idea multiple times, and it just won’t have the same appeal as something new. 3. Does the idea work with a #marketing goal? Rarely does one piece of content fulfill all your content #marketing goals. If you try to make it accomplish several tasks, you’re more likely to end up failing across the board. Every piece of #content should have a primary goal and secondary goals, such as: Increase brand awareness by ranking for top-of-the-funnel terms Increase brand awareness by ranking for middle-of-the-funnel terms Increase brand awareness by generating social media buzz Help potential customers/clients understand more about your offering (sales support) Assist visitors in converting through bottom-of-the-funnel content Create a resource to build backlinks and/or brand authority Your goals can overlap, but each piece of #content should have a specific goal to shape the idea so the resulting #content and promotion deliver what your organization expects it to.
When building an editorial calendar, include your overall #content goals at the top and note the objective for each piece of content so you and your team stay focused on its purpose when planning and creating the #content. 4. Will the idea elicit a reaction? For your audience to care about your content, it should provoke a response or emotion. Will your idea do that? The question is a proxy for determinin

The #Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items selected for the #Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the #Sprint Goal. The #Sprint Backlog is a forecast by the Development Team about what functionality will be in the next Increment and the work needed to deliver that functionality into a "#Done" Increment.
The #Sprint Backlog makes visible all the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the #Sprint Goal. To ensure continuous improvement, it includes at least one high priority process improvement identified in the previous Retrospective meeting.
The #Sprint Backlog is a plan with enough detail that changes in progress can be understood in the Daily #Scrum. The Development Team modifies the #Sprint Backlog throughout the #Sprint, and the #Sprint Backlog emerges during the #Sprint. This emergence occurs as the Development Team works through the plan and learns more about the work needed to achieve the #Sprint Goal.
As new work is required, the Development Team adds it to the #Sprint Backlog. As work is performed or completed, the estimated remaining work is updated. When elements of the plan are deemed unnecessary, they are removed. Only the Development Team can change its #Sprint Backlog during a #Sprint. The #Sprint Backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the Development Team plans to accomplish during the #Sprint, and it belongs solely to the Development Team.
Monitoring #Sprint Progress
At any point in time in a #Sprint, the total work remaining in the #Sprint Backlog can be summed. The Development Team tracks this total work remaining at least for every Daily #Scrum to project the likelihood of achieving the #Sprint Goal. By tracking the remaining work throughout the #Sprint, the Development Team can manage its progress.
Next time we'll be talking about the "Increment"

When a Product Backlog item or an Increment is described as "#Done", everyone must understand what "#Done" means. Although this may vary significantly per #Scrum Team, members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency. This is the definition of "#Done" for the #Scrum Team and is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.
The same definition guides the Development Team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during #Sprint Planning. The purpose of each #Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the #Scrum Team’s current definition of "#Done".
Development Teams deliver an #Increment in product functionality every #Sprint. This Increment is useable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it. If the definition of "#Done" for an increment is part of the conventions, standards, or guidelines of the development organization, all #Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum.
If "#Done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the #Scrum Team must define a definition of "#Done" appropriate for the product. If there are multiple #Scrum Teams working on the system or product release, the Development Teams on all the #Scrum Teams must mutually define the definition of "#Done".
Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together.
As #Scrum Teams mature, it is expected that their definitions of "#Done" will expand to include more stringent criteria for higher quality. New definitions, as used, may uncover work to be done in previously "#Done" increments. Anyone product or system should have a definition of "#Done" that is a standard for any work done on it.

The Daily #Scrum is a 15-minute time-boxed event for the Development Team. The Daily #Scrum is held every day of the #Sprint. At it, the Development Team plans to work for the next 24 hours. This optimizes team collaboration and performance by inspecting the work since the last Daily #Scrum and forecasting upcoming #Sprint work. The Daily #Scrum is held at the same time and place each day to reduce complexity.
The Development Team uses the Daily #Scrum to inspect progress toward the #Sprint Goal and to inspect how progress is trending toward completing the work in the #Sprint Backlog. The Daily #Scrum optimizes the probability that the Development Team will meet the #Sprint Goal. Every day, the Development Team should understand how it intends to work together as a self-organizing team to accomplish the #Sprint Goal and create the anticipated Increment by the end of the #Sprint.
What did I do yesterday that helped the Development Team meet the #Sprint Goal? What will I do today to help the Development Team meet the #Sprint Goal? Do I see any impediment that prevents me or the Development Team from meeting the# Sprint Goal?
The Development Team or team members often meet immediately after the Daily #Scrum for detailed discussions, or to adapt, or replan, the rest of the #Sprint's work.
The #Scrum #Master ensures that the Development Team has the meeting, but the Development Team is responsible for conducting the Daily #Scrum. The #Scrum #Master teaches the Development Team to keep the Daily #Scrum within the 15-minute time-box.
The Daily #Scrum is an internal meeting for the Development Team. If others are present, the #Scrum #Master ensures that they do not disrupt the meeting.
Daily #Scrums improve communications, eliminate other meetings, identify impediments to development for removal, highlight and promote quick decision-making, and improve the Development Team’s level of knowledge. This is a key to inspect and adapt meeting.

Why would you want to take time and effort to attract #organic Facebook leads when you could just pay for prospects?
● Facebook groups ● stories ● posts Facebook also provides an “insights” tool, allowing you to measure responsiveness, reach, and clicks. Then there’s the overall effectiveness of your advertising. To get the best results from your campaigns, some say it’s better to combine paid and free social media #leads. Another advantage with organic leads is these prospects are already interested in your product or service. They may just need some nurturing to convince them to buy. If you need a further reason, here it is: Your organic ads can allow you to build lasting results from people who already feel they know and trust you. That’s the main benefits covered. However, how do you start getting a steady stream of organic #leads? 5 Tips to Get Facebook #Leads Organically Getting Facebook #leads organically doesn’t need to be complicated. With some proven methods, you can start getting free traffic from interested prospects. In the following section, you’ll find five ways and some tips on how you can implement them yourself. 1. Join Facebook Groups for Your Industry and Post Links to Your Website When Facebook announced a greater focus on “meaningful” discussion, it was met with positive results. The move meant the social network’s users are now more engaged with groups, and Facebook says 400 million people are in groups that it considers meaningful. Not only that, Facebook believes in groups so much it paid an estimated $10 million for a SuperBowl ad, writes CNBC. Since these groups already have an active membership of interested followers, why not reach out to them? Join some industry-related groups. Begin posting helpful content and answering questions where you can. Feel free to talk about your business and what it does to get people to message you on Facebook or your website. Just make sure you’re not overly promotional. When looking for suitable groups to join, you’ll have to think of your typical audience and the day-to-day problems they may have. If your product or service can solve them, sign up, interact with group members, and get conversations rolling. 2. Optimize Your Facebook Business Page Since their introduction, Facebook business pages have undergone considerable changes and continue to improve and evolve. Although business pages are getting increasingly sophisticated, just setting up a page isn’t enough: You’ll want your page to do some work by gaining #organic Facebook #leads. You can do this by optimizing your page for increased clickthroughs and revenues. However, you’ll only need to optimize the parts relevant to gaining leads. Facebook suggests you concentrate on three main areas: ● your business name and description ● profile photos and cover photos ● a call to action (CTA) 3. Post Content That Capitalizes on Current Events in Your Industry Draw in organic Facebook leads by covering industry events and trends. You can track these through newspapers, industry press releases, trade publications, and Google Trends. Piggybacking or “newsjacking” off current events within your industry trends works well for two reasons: ● First, if a subject is at the forefront of people’s minds, they might want to find out more. ● Secondly, it demonstrates your company is eager to keep up with developing events and trends. There are a few methods you could use with this type of content. For instance, you could write regular articles or blog posts around trending topics. However, why not get creative with video commentary and related images? The more imagination you show, the more shareable your content becomes. 4. Hold Facebook Live Events Facebook provides a few video services, so why use Facebook Live? Well, viewe

The work to be performed in the #Sprint is planned at the #Sprint Planning. This plan is created by the collaborative work of the entire #Scrum Team.
#Sprint Planning answers the following:
What can be delivered in the Increment resulting from the upcoming #Sprint?
How will the work need to deliver the Increment be achieved?
What can be done in this #Sprint?
The Development Team works to forecast the functionality that will be developed during the #Sprint. The #Product #Owner discusses the objective that #Sprint should achieve and the Product Backlog items that, if completed in the #Sprint, would achieve the #Sprint Goal. The entire #Scrum Team collaborates on understanding the work of the #Sprint.
How will the chosen work get done?
Having set the #Sprint Goal and selected the Product Backlog items for the #Sprint, the Development Team decides how it will build this functionality into a "Done" product Increment during the #Sprint. The Product Backlog items selected for this #Sprint plus the plan for delivering them is called the #Sprint Backlog.
The Development Team usually starts by designing the system and the work needed to convert the Product Backlog into a working product #Increment. Work may be of varying size or estimated effort. However, enough work is planned during #Sprint Planning for the Development Team to forecast what it believes it can do in the upcoming #Sprint. Work planned for the first days of the #Sprint by the Development Team is decomposed by the end of this meeting, often to units of one day or less. The Development Team self-organizes to undertake the work in the #Sprint Backlog, both during #Sprint Planning and as needed throughout the Sprint.
By the end of the #Sprint Planning, the Development Team should be able to explain to the #Product #Owner and #Scrum #Master how it intends to work as a self-organizing team to accomplish the #Sprint Goal and create the anticipated #Increment.
In the next video, we'll be talking about "The #Sprint Goal"

An example of a #fundamental artifact is the "#ProductBacklog:"
The #ProductBacklog is an ordered list of #everything that is known to be #needed in the #product. It is the single source of #requirements for any changes to be made to the #product. The #ProductOwner is responsible for the #Product Backlog, including its #content, #availability, and #ordering.
A #ProductBacklog is never complete. The earliest development of it lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements. The #ProductBacklog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves. The #ProductBacklog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful. If a product exists, its #ProductBacklog also exists.
The #ProductBacklog lists all #features, #functions, #requirements, #enhancements, and fixes that constitute the changes to be made to the #product in future releases. #ProductBacklog items have the attributes of a #description, #order, #estimate, and #value. #ProductBacklog items often include test #descriptions that will prove their #completeness when "Done".
Multiple #ScrumTeams often work together on the same #product. One #ProductBacklog is used to describe the upcoming work on the #product. A #ProductBacklog attribute that groups items may then be employed.
#ProductBacklog refinement is the act of adding #detail, #estimates, and #order to items in the #ProductBacklog. This is an ongoing process in which the #ProductOwner and the #DevelopmentTeam collaborate on the details of #ProductBacklog items. During #ProductBacklog refinement, items are reviewed and revised. The #ScrumTeam decides how and when refinement is done. Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the #DevelopmentTeam. However, #ProductBacklog items can be updated at any time by the #ProductOwner or at the #ProductOwner’s discretion.
Next time, we'll be talking about another #artifact, the "#SprintBacklog"

When the world adopted #virtualcommunication, whether, by choice or circumstance, many people had significant troubles #adapting to the new way of working. #AgileTeams in particular was shaken up, as many #frameworks never accounted for the loss of physical contact.
One of the primary ways to ensure #Agility when #workingvirtually is a strong sense of community and personal #connection between members of the #team. If you're connected with your team members, you'll naturally become more in tune with their thoughts and feelings, as well as their ways of #working. Following up will no longer feel as much like something you do as a job, becoming more #natural.

When it comes to #facilitating an #Agileteam, you'll have to make #toughdecisions on occasion. Through the #decision-making process, you need to maintain #neutrality. This can be achieved through the careful #application of several #techniques and #tools.
Understand #compromise. Nobody likes to #compromise. It's an end reached by necessity, not by choice, but #understanding why it's needed and #accepting it when it's the only option is vital. Continuously reaching for an end that is unachievable is unrealistic and can drain energy and resources from you and your #team.
Don't dawdle on your #decisions. One of the hardest things to do is make a #decision on the fly, but frequently the #decisions you need to make aren't time-sensitive. On the other hand, though, this can be problematic as it can lead to procrastination. The harder a #decision is, the easier it can be to put it off. Set a limit for yourself, a time that you need to have decided by.
Be #neutral. While staying #neutral is a skill (and topic) all on its own, it's important to factor it in when making #decisions. You want to make sure your #decision is not influenced by personal opinion or leans one way or the other. It needs to be by-the-books and influenced by clear-cut logic, and the #considerations of your #team.

As an #AgileFacilitator, one of the most important qualities you can have is #neutrality. Without #neutrality, you can lose the #trust of your #team, and the #decisions you make, as well as your relationships. So, how do you maintain this #essential, a vital part of #facilitation?
Change your #mindset. Just like with any form of #Agile, changing your #mindset is #essential to achieving #neutrality. Start thinking as a group, using words like we rather than I. Make #decisions as a group, and think about how you can all work together to #achieve goals. This can help set your mind where it needs to be to make team-centric decisions, rather than cultivating an "us vs. them" mentality.
Listen to your #team, and #understand their motivations. Especially when balancing the needs of the #team, you need to #understand all of your #team members to strike a #neutral balance. You don't want to be giving one person all the work, or favoring another without realizing it. Especially when you are receiving #constructivefeedback, it is absolutely vital to listen and absorb what your #team is saying.
If you find yourself losing #neutrality, as for advice from the #team. Open yourself to #constructivefeedback, and ensure that you can receive the information you need to reach a state of #neutrality. Nobody will notice your biases better than your #team-- but you probably already know that.

Because #Digital #Marketing is so vast, there are a wide variety of problems that can occur. It's impossible to predict all of them, but there are several very common problems that many #marketers will encounter when #marketing #Digitally.
Generating Traffic as a newcomer feels like getting a rowboat and leaving the harbor, hoping you'll hit land at some point. It's going to be difficult to start generating traffic, but once it starts, it's hard to stop. #Advertising programs, like Google #Ads, can put your #brand out there, while consistent Social Media activity can help create a forward-moving train of #content about your #brand. Pairing several different early-stage #Digital #Marketing methods together can really help get your roots down.
Consistent #Branding can be difficult to achieve when there are such a variety of websites providing different ways of #marketing your #brand. To help build the identity of your #brand, though, it is important to aim for consistency. This can be with easily identifiable #brand colors, visual design, language, and more. This extends to Social Media posts, website design, and ads.
Cultural and Social Changes are huge hurdles when it comes to #marketing #digitally. Because the world is evolving so fast, and this is exemplified the best within the #digital space, it can be hard to keep up. Failing to keep up can lead to #marketing blunders that can potentially damage your #brand. To keep up, you need to consistently keep an eye on the culture and social changes of the #Digital World, and know when to play it #safe, and when to play it risky.

When starting out, or establishing yourself, it's important to find a core audience. You may know already that your product is not going to appeal to everyone, so why #market it like you are? While keeping in mind possible future expansion, don't be afraid to #market your #brand specifically with your existing audience in mind. If you sell complicated, long-form board games, don't be afraid to crack a joke relating to that medium. #Market to attract, but keep in mind your core audience.

Social Media can be scary. It seems every other day there's another company under scrutiny for poor #marketing. At the same time, not utilizing the potential for returns that Social Media offers can be to the great detriment of your #marketing campaign. There's no need to fret-- it's easier than you may think.
First, develop a vetting process. When posts are created, make sure they are checked twice by another party to ensure they're both quality and appropriate for your #brand. Make sure, however, that this vetting process does not impede fast and efficient #marketing, as this can damage #ROI.
Second, don't be afraid to set yourself apart, but stay professional. Standing out among many other #brands is helpful and powerful in #marketing, especially in the current day. It is important not to set yourself apart in the wrong ways, however, as this could damage your #brand. If you're not sure, play it safe, but remember to take risks.
These two rules, while simple, are the essentials for staying safe- and growing- on Social Media. Getting second opinions by a diverse range of thoughts is always helpful, and can save-- and bolster-- your #marketing #campaign.

The #market is huge, and you certainly can't hope to cover all of it just starting out-- many fortune 500 companies still don't have all #markets covered, so you need to position yourself within the #market properly to ensure significant #ROI. To position your #brand properly, you need to take into account three aspects: Audience, #brand offerings, and competitors.
You need to know what your #brand offers. Are you a high-quality #brand focused on luxury goods, or are you a more budget #brand focused on bringing high value to consumers? Through this, you will find what circles to land in, and what audience you're looking for.
You need to understand your audience, what platforms they use, and how they interact with the #brands they choose to follow. Through this, you know what venues to reach out through, how to appeal to them, and more.
Finally, you need to look for competitors. How many competitors are there in your #market circle? How can you stand tall among them? Find out, and you'll know where to place yourself, whether around them, away, or right next to.

Well, have you ever wondered how websites like #Google #Yahoo or #Bing seemingly pull websites and #brands out of nowhere? Well in essence that's search engine #marketing. Now, you may be wondering how do I get in on that?
Well, the answer is a little more complicated than you may think. But #search #engine #marketing itself doesn't have to be. It's all about the venue you use in order to achieve it for yourself. How complicated you want to get and the nitty-gritty?
So even though the technology may be complicated it doesn't have to be for you. The most important aspect of search engine #marketing is making sure that you have the correct foundational knowledge you need to be successful in #search #engine #marketing.
So, What's your next step?

When #marketing, it may seem obvious to avoid, and what to go for. However, this isn't always obvious, and you may find yourself in a bind when you have to limit your #marketing for past statements. This is known as Slash and Burn #marketing, and similarly to its use in economic contexts, it entails reacting to recent events or opinions, using humor, pandering, or more in a way that can limit future prospects or is not future-proof in one or more ways. #Reactive #marketing, when done poorly, can be considered Slash & Burn #Marketing.

Tips for #Content #Marketing
When it comes to #content #marketing, you'll be spending a lot of time making high-quality #content. So, you want to make sure that your efforts are in the right place. Here are three tips for #content #marketing.
Tip 1: Longer doesn't always mean better. One of the very common misconceptions about making #content is that longer just equals better. That’s not quite the case. Especially today, when pretty much everyone is overloaded with information, they don’t want a long youtube video to watch or a long blog post to read. Smaller bite-sized nuggets of information are far better.
Tip 2: Don't be afraid to experiment. When it comes to #content #marketing, one of the best things that can be done for #content #marketing is making your #content fresh and new. When people see content, it’s mostly a sea of samey posts and words, things they’ve seen everywhere else. If you make something really new and original, that’s going to leave an impact. They might even spread it to people they know.
Tip 3: Know your audience. For example, while #E-Mail #marketing is still very important, and useful, sometimes, with younger people, that may not work out so well. Youtube may be a better fit. Know your audience and tailor your #content to them.

Call recording software is a useful tool for businesses and individual users alike. From quality assurance to employee training, compliance, record-keeping, dispute resolution, and more, there are dozens of reasons why organizations can benefit from recording calls. But there are so many different call recording solutions on the market today. It can be a challenge to find one that fits into your workday. You don’t want to have to re-do everything just to record calls.
In a large company, a lot of different people need to use call recording for a lot of different reasons. And Nextiva is the business calling solution built to handle the strain. Think of a huge customer service team—dozens of people need to touch the software, from the reps recording their calls to the customer service and HR managers who will use them to run quality assurance, employee evaluations, and training. With the Enterprise and Ultimate plans of Nextiva One (their voice and video service), you get unlimited recording of both calls and video conferences. Plus, both plans accommodate an unlimited number of users, so everyone can utilize the recording features and access (if you grant it) saved recordings.
A lot of the best call recording options available come as part of wider business phone solutions. When it comes to getting voice and video with all the features you’d need—including call recording—you can’t beat Ooma Office Pro. I usually save the pricing information for towards the end of these reviews, but here it’s lede: Ooma Office Pro is just $24.95/user per month. That sort of pricing for the feature set you get usually requires you to have 20 or more users. Ooma offers just one flat price, which makes it great for teams of any size to update their calling capabilities.
Whether you’re using recordings for training, posterity, note-taking, or anything else, what good are they if you can’t access and store them easily? If you choose RingCentral Office for your team messaging, video conferencing, and phone system, you get generous call recording limits and an excellent dashboard for managing them.

This is a simple and straightforward solution for call recording. It’s a viable option for both personal and business use cases.
Talkdesk is a modern cloud contact center solution. One of the main benefits of using this platform for business communication is the built-in call recording capabilities. With Talkdesk, you’ll gain deeper customer insights with encrypted screen and voice recordings. By synchronizing the playback of voice and screen recordings, you’ll have more context for evaluating customer interactions with your support team. This also makes it easier to ensure compliance and provide your agents with in-depth feedback on their performance. The software has a feature called Talkdesk Speech Analytics.

Have a strong subject line, but don't be pushy. You obviously want to grab readers and reel them in with a strong subject line, maybe with a cliffhanger or a sale, but you don't want to be pushy. Do not use all caps, and be careful when using exclamation points, it will seem spammy. When readers see all caps or a ton of exclamation points, it will immediately be flagged as spam in their heads, so be careful.
Keep it short and sweet. People, don't have much time, and they won't want to spend ten minutes reading out a novel you wrote for your #email. It will save you time, and they're more likely to read all the #content if you keep it short and sweet.
Keep it personal, but professional. Remember, you're talking with an individual. You want to make it seem like you're not just some homogenous entity that is reaching out to them. Keep it personal and friendly, but keep it professional.
Don't forget the preheader. Remember in addition to the subject line, there is also a little bit of sample text that's there to show the readers a little snippet of what's in your #email, and you want to make sure that's up to snuff as well. You don't want the #email to have a nice subject line, and then just be nonsense, you want it to look nice.
Finally, remember the rules for #content #marketing in general. All the rules that go along with regular #content #marketing apply to #e-mail #marketing as well. Remember, you're making #content for people to absorb, so make sure that it's informative, useful to them in some way, or otherwise interesting. Otherwise, what's the point?

The #digital world is vast and filled to the brim with competition and opposing forces. You're a small fish, in a big, big pond. But that's okay. Especially when starting out, knowing your #market and growing a relationship with your audience can ensure your longevity and cement you in place, so that you can grow and evolve from that #market outward, soon standing out among the sea of different businesses. The key is to take it one step at a time, not becoming overwhelmed by size of the market.

Tip 1. Create connections. Create connections to people, businesses and communities, to create a bridge towards your #brand that users can find you from. Reach out, provide a bridge for users to find your #brand from.
Tip 2. Make it professional. Make images specifically for the platform you’re using, such as profile banners, and images, and make sure to vet posts that your team creates before they go live.
Tip 3. Find your audience. Tailor your posts, hashtags, and general presence, around the audience that you want to #market to. You don’t want to #market your resume building website to retired workers, you want to create a community connection with the audience that you find so that the news of your #brand spreads within that group.
Tip 4. Utilize the right platforms. While it's important to cover all bases, it's also important to find the platform that fits the best right for you. It’s important to do this because you don’t want to be putting your effort into a website or platform that won’t be providing good returns. You're going to have more luck trying to share spreadsheet tips on Linkedin than you are going to on Twitter.

Make images specifically for the platform you’re using, such as profile banners, and images, and make sure to vet posts that your team creates before they go live.
Tailor your posts, hashtags, and general presence, around the #audience that you want to #market to. You don’t want to #market your resume-building #website to retired workers, you want to create a community connection with the #audience that you find so that the news of your #brand spreads within that group.
While it's important to cover all bases, it's also important to find the #platform that fits the best right for you. It’s important to do this because you don’t want to be putting your effort into a website or #platform that won’t be providing good returns. You're going to have more luck trying to share spreadsheet tips on Linkedin than you are going to on Twitter

Have a Strong Subject Line, but don't be pushy. You obviously want to grab readers and reel them in with a strong subject line, maybe {you wanna has a }with a cliffhanger or a (promise for )sale, maybe you wanna has a cliffhanger or a promise for sale, but you don't want to be pushy. Do not use all caps, and be careful when using exclamation points, that will seem spammy. When people see all caps or a ton of exclamation points, it will immediately be flagged as spam in their heads, so be careful.
Keep it Short and Sweet. People, don't have much time, and they won't want to spend ten minutes reading out a novel you wrote for your #email. It will save you time, and they're more likely to read all the #content if you keep it short and sweet.
Keep it Personal, but Professional. Remember, you're talking with an individual. You want to make it seem like you're not just some homogenous entity that is reaching out to them. Keep it personal and friendly, but keep it professional.
Don't forget the preheader. Remember in addition to the subject line, there is also a little bit of sample text that's there to show the readers a little snippet of what's in your #email, and you want to make sure that's up to snuff as well. You don't want the #email to have a nice subject line, and then just be nonsense, you want it to look nice.
Rules for #Content #Marketing Finally, remember the rules for #content #marketing in general. All the rules that go along with regular #content #marketing apply to #e-mail #marketing as well. Remember, you're making #content for people to absorb, so make sure that it's informative, useful to them in some way, or otherwise interesting. Otherwise, what's the point?

When things change so fast like they do today, trying to keep up is overwhelming at best. How can you hope to keep up with the rapid social and technological change of today?
First off, fleshing out your #marketing team with a diverse range of people, thoughts, and ideas can not only bring fresh #perspectives but also experience from those possibly more in tune with the modern day's culture. This help keeps thing new and breathes constant life into a #marketing team that might otherwise stagnate.
You can also surround yourself in the here in now, in your own life, keeping up to date with what's popping up around the largest audiences. If your #market is smaller than keeping up to date in that specific #market is much easier than an entire populous. Know your audience.

Consistent #Branding can be difficult to achieve when there are such a variety of #websites providing different ways of #marketing your #brand. To help build the identity of your #brand, though, it is important to aim for consistency. This can be with easily identifiable #brand colors, visual design, language, and more. This extends to #SocialMedia posts, #websitedesign, and #ads.
Cultural and Social Changes are huge hurdles when it comes to #marketing #digitally. Because the world is evolving so fast, and this is exemplified the best within the #digital space, it can be hard to keep up. Failing to keep up can lead to #marketing blunders that can potentially damage your #brand. To keep up, you need to consistently keep an eye on the culture and social changes of the #Digital world, and know when to play it safe, and when to play it risky.

When starting out, or establishing yourself, it's important to find a core audience. You may know already that your product is not going to appeal to everyone, so why #market it like you are? While keeping in mind possible future expansion, don't be afraid to #market your #brand specifically with your existing audience in mind. If you sell complicated, long-form board games, don't be afraid to crack a joke relating to that medium. #Market to attract, but keep in mind your core audience.

Epic Owners are responsible for coordinating portfolio Epics through the Portfolio Kanban system. They collaboratively define the epic, its Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and Lean business case, and when approved, facilitate implementation.
Epic Owner works directly with the Agile Release Train (ART) and Solution Train stakeholders to define the Features and Capabilities that realize the value of approved Epics. They may also have some responsibility for supporting the initiative as it moves downstream through the Continuous Delivery Pipeline to Release on Demand.
Details In SAFe, epics are the container for significant Solution development initiative. The expectation is that the substantial investment represented by the epic will generate a commensurate amount of economic value. Epic Owners are responsible for formulating and elaborating the epic and analyzing its cost and impact by collaborating closely with other groups in the portfolio.
An Epic Owner can only be effective by collaborating closely with other groups. They help fill in the gaps that often occur when high-level initiatives descend from the top of the organization for implementation.
By working closely with these key stakeholders, Epic Owners can create a realistic and compelling vision, appropriate economic priorities, and a consistent set of features and capabilities.
The Epic Owner is responsible for guiding individual epics through the Portfolio Kanban system from identification through LPM approval. After the epic is approved, the Epic Owner works with Agile Teams to initiate the development activities necessary to realize the epic’s business outcome hypothesis. After the initiation, the Epic Owner may have some ongoing responsibilities for stewardship and follow-up.
As the features and capabilities that define the epics are incorporated into the Solution, the Epic Owner returns to other duties or takes responsibility for other emerging epics. After development is safely underway, the ARTs have the responsibility for implementing the new epic into the solution. Typically, an Epic Owner works with the one or two epics at a time that falls within their area of expertise and current business mission.

With Google #Ads, you want to make sure you're using all of the techniques you can for catching and reeling in new users. However, for this to work, you need potential users to see your #ads first. Many think the only way to do this is by paying more, but this is not at all the case.
Effective google #ads #campaigns focus on three things: Keywords, Landing Pages, and Goals.
Keywords are the bread and butter of #Google #Ads. Just like a Google Search, when a user associates with certain words or phrases, your ad can appear to them. For example, if you have a service offering driving education for new drivers, your website may appear when a user searches driving education, or if you tune your keywords well enough if a user searches how to teach new drivers. Understanding how keywords work, and knowing how to utilize them, is an essential part of Google #Ads.
A Landing Page is the part of your website a user will first see upon clicking on your ad. This is very important for user retention, as once you've caught a user, you want to reel them in, maybe with special offers or an eye-catching and inviting visual design. The page should have all the relevant information they need to know to decide if they should explore further.
Goals are important for you to set for yourself before you begin a Google #Ads campaign. This can help you evaluate the possible returns-- positive or negative-- before you begin the #campaign. If the returns can offer significant revenue, then set your goals and go forward. If the returns have a possibility of significant revenue, but the cost of a less successful #campaign is too great, it's time to go back to the drawing board.

Have you ever quickly pulled up the name of a #business near you to get directions? You probably saw the opening and closing times, customer reviews, maybe a menu if it was a restaurant, frequent questions and answers, and more. This is a powerful part of #marketing your #business, especially if you're a physical store that people visit. Having individuals see your #business, how other people react to it, as well as plenty of information, allows them to make an informed decision on visiting.
On top of this, #marketing to your area, as a physical #business, is very important. People enjoy a sense of community, and not only showing, but exemplifying, your place in that community, can make people feel more comfortable with your #business. Examples of this might be sales in response to local events, or #marketing to match the attitude of the local area. It all depends on who your audience is, and the community around you.

Social Media can be scary. It seems every other day there's another company under scrutiny for poor #marketing. At the same time, not utilizing the potential for returns that Social Media offers can be to the great detriment of your #marketing #campaign. There's no need to fret-- it's easier than you may think.
First, develop a vetting process. When posts are created, make sure they are checked twice by another party to ensure they're both quality and appropriate for your #brand. Make sure, however, that this vetting process does not impede fast and efficient #marketing, as this can damage #ROI.
Second, don't be afraid to set yourself apart, but stay professional. Standing out among many other #brands is helpful and powerful in #marketing, especially in the current day. It is important not to set yourself apart in the wrong ways, however, as this could damage your #brand. If you're not sure, play it safe, but remember to take risks.
These two rules, while simple, are the essentials for staying safe- and growing- on Social Media. Getting second opinions by a diverse range of thoughts is always helpful, and can save-- and bolster-- your #marketing #campaign.

As Google gets better at interpreting language and search intent, can we finally take it easy on #keywords? Not really. #Keywords remain important indicators of how people use search. Even though we no longer need to go after the exact keywords, an analysis of keywords offers ideas for content that’s relevant to searchers and shows gaps that your content could fill. 1. #Keyword Surfer If you want a fully immersive keyword research experience, then consider adding the #Keyword Surfer Chrome extension. It hijacks each of your Google searches by displaying #keyword statistics in the search bar. It also adds a side panel to the search result page, providing the top 10 keywords similar to the current query.
Enter a few seed keywords and get a list of semantically similar #keyword suggestions, complete with metrics like monthly search volume, competition, and bid ranges. There are likely to be thousands of results. You can use the sorting and filtering options to narrow them down. Most notably, you can exclude negative #keywords – you won’t see the results for searches that include those words. 3. QuestionDB Another question-oriented #keyword finder, QuestionDB pulls a #keyword list from a database of over 48 million questions asked on Reddit. When people post to Reddit, they ask questions that are not readily answered by Google. That’s your opening to create a unique piece of expert content. You can even add it to the topic’s Reddit thread once it’s ready.Sometimes this tool returns nothing useful, but other times it can be fascinating. 4. Rank Tracker Unlike most other #SEO tools on this list, Rank Tracker is a collection of nine research methods. Those approaches can be broadly sorted into two distinct categories – spying on your competitors and playing with keyword semantics. Rank Tracker finds the highest-ranking keywords for a competitor and exposes the #keyword gaps on your site. As for semantic research, enter a keyword and get a list of related searches, related questions, and autocomplete suggestions. #Keywords collected this way are a gold mine for content makers because many of them already sound like article titles. In addition, Rank Tracker integrates with Google’s #SEO tools, including analytics, #keyword planner, and search console, so you can see detailed quality metrics, like organic search volume and keyword difficulty. 5. Google Trends Using Google Trends is not as much about discovering the best keywords as it is about prioritizing your content ideas. It shows keyword popularity over time and across geographic locations. You can plot and compare several keywords on the same graph. 6. Google Search Console Google Search Console lets you discover opportunities for those #keywords already used on your website. Google Search Сonsole provides a list of #keywords that your site ranks for, including SERP positions and click-through rates. The trick is that each SERP position has a widely accepted CTR benchmark. For example, a keyword in the first position should expect to have a CTR of about 30%. Each consecutive position drops an average of 5%, and the last four positions on the first page of SERP get a CTR of about 3%. 7. Answer The Public Searchers are increasingly confident in using natural language when forming queries because search engines are getting smarter and delivering the results searchers seek. More highly specific, question-like searches are being asked and Google is delivering more featured Q&A snippets at the top of results.

The Lean-Agile Leadership competency describes how Lean-Agile Leaders drive and sustain organizational change and operational excellence by empowering individuals and teams to reach their highest potential.
They do this through leading by example; learning and modeling SAFe’s Lean-Agile mindset, values, principles, and practices; and leading the change to a new way of working.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why Lean-Agile Leaders? An organization’s managers, executives, and other leaders are responsible for the adoption, success, and ongoing improvement of Lean-Agile development and the competencies that lead to business agility. Only they have the authority to change and continuously improve the systems that govern how work is performed.
Moreover, only these leaders can create an environment that encourages high-performing Agile teams to flourish and produce value. Leaders, therefore, must internalize and model leaner ways of thinking and operating so that team members will learn from their example, coaching, and encouragement.
Becoming a Lean enterprise is neither simple nor easy. As described below, business agility requires a new approach to leadership. It starts with leaders exemplifying behaviors that will inspire and motivate the organization to pursue a better way of working.
They set the example by coaching, empowering, and engaging individuals and teams to reach their highest potential through Lean and Agile principles and practices.
In short, knowledge alone won’t be enough. Lean-Agile leaders must do more than simply support the transformation: they must actively lead the change, participating in and guiding the activities necessary to understand and continuously optimize the flow of value through the enterprise.
Lean-Agile leaders: ● Organize and reorganize around value ● Identify queues and excess Work in Process (WIP) ● Continually focus on eliminating waste and delays ● Eliminate demotivating policies and procedures ● Inspire and motivate others ● Create a culture of relentless improvement ● Provide the space for teams to innovate
By helping leaders develop along three distinct dimensions, organizations can establish lean-agile leadership as a core competency.
These dimensions are:

As a newcomer or even a veteran in the industry, and there is a #market you see that's overtaken, or 'owned' by an existing company. When you see this, as a #marketer, one of the biggest decisions you can make is to try and overtake the #market, or exist alongside the already established institution. If your product provides key elements of the competition- use that to your advantage. You're trying to win the loyalty of the #market, or fill in the gap the other institution left. Play to those aspects, and you'll find your footing in no time.

You may have seen Google touting their "Smart #Campaigns" and wondered what it's all about. That's what I'm here to tell you about.
Google #Ads Smart #Campaigns are sort of like Google #Ads 'Lite'. It requires less management, only appears on Google and Google partner websites, and allows Google to do most of the work for you. Now, this is not to say Smart #Campaigns are worse than regular Google Ad #campaigns. Smart #Campaigns, being light and requiring less management, are perfect for the smaller #business who can't spend time coaxing individual #campaigns with great detail. Google does a great job matching the keywords you give them with the users who would most benefit from what you offer. Smart #Campaigns also allow you to choose geographic locations, allowing more flexibility when #marketing to specific users.
Smart #Campaigns work in a more hands-off approach. You can do it quickly, and it allows you to see its performance in an easy, lightweight way, without much of the jargon and complex data that go along with more in-depth #campaign types. You simply set a budget, make clear the ideas and keywords, and Google will do the rest for you, #marketing it to the right audiences and maintaining the #campaign. Just like with the other #campaign types, you only have to pay per click.

Primarily, #digital #marketing over traditional #marketing, means you have greater reach to potential consumers, as well as greater dilution. It's going to be harder for your #brand to stand out, but much easier to reach new people.

Within the context of #SEM, you may have heard the acronym '#PPC' and wondered what it meant, or maybe you just wanted to know more about it.
It works sort of like this-- Your ad is thrown into a hat with many other ads and appears in a user's search result. This is far from random though, as whether or not the ad appears depends on many, many different aspects, like ad quality, and more importantly, target audience and keywords, as well as your bid, and how high you're willing to bid. While more money may mean more clicks, this isn't completely the case, as many different factors you control can grow the chances that your ad will appear.

Have you ever wondered what that little lock in the corner of the #website you're visiting is all about? That's an #SSL #Certificate. This means the #website you're visiting is encrypting the data that is being transmitted to and from it. It basically means that the #website is secure, so that bad actor cannot get your information.
In layman's terms, what does that mean for me?
Do I want it on my #website? Absolutely!
It is incredibly important that you get an "#SSL #Certificate" for your #website.
If your #website is not #SSL Certified, many browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox may warn users against your #website.
Naturally, you want users to feel #safe. #Safe to possibly realize transactions, and provide personal information, so that they can perform the actions they need to. They want to feel safe and secure when they share information on your #website.
They don't want to worry that someone might steal their personal information.
That's why you need a secure #website, and make sure that they feel secure, and that's what that little lock is for. Be #SAFE and make your customers feel #safe.

When #marketing, it may seem obvious to avoid, and what to go for. However, this isn't always obvious, and you may find yourself in a bind when you have to limit your #marketing for past statements. This is known as Slash and Burn #marketing, and similarly to its use in economic contexts, it entails reacting to recent events or opinions, using humor, pandering, or more in a way that can limit future prospects or is not future-proof in one or more ways. Reactive #marketing, when done poorly, can be considered Slash & Burn #Marketing.

The #market is huge, and you certainly can't hope to cover all of it just starting out-- many fortune 500 companies still don't have all #markets covered, so you need to position yourself within the #market properly to ensure significant ROI. To position your #brand properly, you need to take into account three aspects: Audience, #brand offerings, and competitors.
You need to know what your #brand offers. Are you a high-quality #brand focused on luxury goods, or are you a more budget #brand focused on bringing high value to consumers? Through this, you will find what circles to land in, and what audience you're looking for.
You need to understand your audience, what platforms they use, and how they interact with the brands they choose to follow. Through this, you know what venues to reach out through, how to appeal to them, and more.
Finally, you need to look for competitors. How many competitors are there in your #market circle? How can you stand tall among them? Find out, and you'll know where to place yourself, whether around them, away, or right next to them.

Ask a marketer or business owner what they’d like most in the world, and they’ll probably tell you “more customers.” What often comes after customers on a business’ wish list? More #traffic to their site. There are many ways you can increase #traffic on your website, and in today’s post, we’re going to look at 10 of them.
Target Long-Tail Keywords Got your high-intent keyword and popular keyword bases covered? Then it’s time to target long-tail keywords, too. Long-tail keywords account for a majority of web searches, meaning that if you’re not targeting them as part of your paid search or SEO efforts, you’re missing out.
Start Guest Blogging Before you say it – no, true guest blogging isn’t dead, despite what you may have heard. Securing a guest post on a reputable site can increase blog #traffic to your website and help build your brand into the bargain. Be warned, though – standards for guest blogging have changed radically during the past eighteen months, and spammy tactics could result in stiff penalties.
Go After Referral #Traffic Rather than trying to persuade other sites to link back to you (a tedious and time-intensive process), create content that just begs to be linked to.
Post Content to LinkedIn LinkedIn has become much more than a means of finding another job. The world’s largest professional social network is now a valuable publishing pl

Say you have a website about shaving products. Someone is recommended your website, they visit it, but maybe don't have much time to look around, so they leave and most likely forget about it. After all, there's a lot of information out there vying for their time.
With #remarketing, your website installs cookies, bite-sized little bits of code that track the user's interests, and then, through ads (like Google #Adwords), your website is advertised to them, many times reminding and enabling a second, more thorough visit, to leave an impression on them.
This is an essential piece of #marketing in the #digital world. It forms the basis for #digital advertising, as well as programs like #Google Adwords and #Search #Engine #Marketing. It is important to factor #remarketing in when it comes to attracting new consumers, as it plays a huge role in spreading the
news of your #brand.

As a newcomer or even a veteran in the industry, and there is a #market you see that's overtaken, or 'owned' by an existing company. When you see this, as a #marketer, one of the biggest decisions you can make is to try and overtake the #market, or exist alongside the already established institution. If your product provides key elements of the competition- use that to your advantage. You're trying to win the loyalty of the #market, or fill in the gap the other institution left. Play to those aspects, and you'll find your footing in no time.

Have you ever quickly pulled up the name of a #business near you to get directions? You probably saw opening and closing times, customer reviews, maybe a menu if it was a restaurant, frequent questions and answers, and more. This is a powerful part of #marketing your #business, especially if you're a physical store that people visit. Having individuals see your business, how other people react to it, as well as plenty of information, allows them to make an informed decision on visiting.
On top of this, #marketing to your area, as a physical #business, is very important. People enjoy a sense of community, and not only showing, but exemplifying, your place in that community, can make people feel more comfortable with your #business. Examples of this might be sales in response to local events, or #marketing to match the attitude of the local area. It all depends on who your audience is, and the community around you.

Firstly, make sure you're #acknowledging #team members for the work they do. Many times, a worker or #team member can feel unappreciated, especially during this #virtualage where #team members may be #working from home. Allow equal time so every #team member is equally given #acknowledgment-- as well as the all-#important #constructivecriticism.
Secondly, keep your #standup from being inconvenient. Nobody likes to be pulled from work as they start to #develop a flow. It can not only frustrate them but also decrease #efficiency as they have to find their flow after several minutes of #standup. Keep in mind scheduling for the #team members, and what works mutually, or at least the next best thing. Keep it consistent, so they can form their #schedule with it.
Lastly, make it a #conversation. Don't talk to the #team, invite a #discussion about the work, and #encourage #participation from everyone, while #facilitating properly so the #discussion does not go on too long or draw away from the central points. #StandUps should be straight to the point, yes, but keep it from being static. It should be #engaging and #refreshing.

A type of #marketing that has seen a surge of popularity in recent years is #Reactive #Marketing. #Reactive #Marketing is when a brand uses recent events and topics to #market, usually in an effort to be more personable and relatable-- not to mention the traffic recent events garner in the first place. #Reactive #marketing can no doubt have big returns, but it's important not to get carried away-- with reactive #marketing come big risks.
First, why is reactive #marketing so popular now as compared to, say, twenty years ago? This has almost everything to do with social media and how quickly things travel in the #digital world. Quickly drumming up traffic by responding to something everyone is talking about is a no-brainer, and such was much more difficult in the past. If you wanted to air an ad about a social event before the internet, it needed to be made, sent to a television station or newspaper, then they would send it out. This was full of reviews and checks that would add up to a long time before people finally saw. The topic would have likely cooled off considerably. Compare this with a quick tweet, likely checked once before it was sent out to millions in an instant.
Obviously, such a quick and literally reactive marketing scheme can set up some big pitfalls. Many times a brand will respond to a sensitive topic, and this is rarely taken well by consumers. Even worse, when a topic or event is particularly divisive, making any comment on the matter-- whether serious, light-hearted or comedic, is likely to be met with harsh reactions from more than one person. Setting up a system of checks and balances, as well as inviting a diverse range of thought, can radically decrease or even eliminate the risk of some particularly poor #marketing getting through.

SAFe is based on ten immutable, underlying Lean-Agile principles. These tenets and economic concepts inspire and inform the roles and practices of SAFe.
Why the Focus on Principles? Building enterprise-class software and cyber-physical systems is one of the most complex challenges our industry faces today. And, of course, the enterprises that build these systems are also increasingly sophisticated. They are bigger and more distributed than ever. Mergers and acquisitions, distributed multinational (and multilingual) development, offshoring, and rapid growth are all part of the solution. But they’re also part of the problem.
Fortunately, we have an amazing and growing body of knowledge that can help. It includes Agile principles and methods, Lean and systems thinking, product development flow practices, and Lean processes. Thought leaders have traveled this path before us and left a trail in hundreds of books and references to draw on.
The goal of SAFe is to synthesize this body of knowledge, along with the lessons learned from hundreds of deployments. This creates a system of integrated, proven practices that have improved employee engagement, time-to-market, solution quality, and team productivity. Given the complexities, however, there’s no off-the-shelf solution for the unique challenges each enterprise faces. Not every SAFe recommended practice will apply equally in every circumstance. This is why we work hard to ensure that SAFe practices are grounded in fundamentally stable principles. That way we can be confident the practices apply in most situations.
And if those practices do fall short, the underlying principles will guide the teams to make sure that they are moving continuously on the path to the goal of the House of Lean: “shortest sustainable lead time, with best quality and value to people and society.” There is value in that, too.
SAFe is based on ten fundamental concepts that have evolved from Agile principles and methods, Lean product development, systems thinking, and observation of successful enterprises.

When you're moving to an #Agile way of working, it's difficult to #adapt. It not only requires a complete #overhaul of your #workflow, but also a total #mindset shift. This can be stressful and very difficult to #accomplish, as it builds new #methods for work from the ground up. This is precisely the reason there are #facilitators-- to help adjust a team into #Agile. You may be wondering, though, what are two of the most #commonhurdles when transitioning to #Agile?
Old habits die hard. It's a well-known fact that #habits are hard to break, and it feels like it's always the worst #habits that pose a #realstruggle. Employees get comfortable with their old way of #working, whether they realize it or not, and very often have trouble letting go in favor of a new way. It gets even harder when they're cognizant of this and actively refuse to learn a new way of #working. In this case, it's important for them to be reminded of the #goals of the #Agile #transition and the eventual #benefits.
Unclear #goals and benefits. As a general rule of #Agile, it's required that there is open and clear #communication with everyone involved. When moving to #Agile, it should be made clear to everyone why the move to #Agile is occurring. Many #team members may not know why the change is needed and can adapt easier once they know the benefits of the move. In addition, if the #team knows the #goals to work towards, they can set a trajectory for themselves towards where they want to be.

One of the key elements of #SAFe, or the #ScaledAgileFramework, is the #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline. It represents the #workflows, #activities, and #automation needed to bring a piece of #functionality from its #formation in the mind's eye, to a fully-featured, working piece of a #product. The #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline is a sort of map, detailing the journey through an #AgileReleaseTrain.
The different parts of the #CDP are this:
There are many ways the #CDP is beneficial to #organizations. #CDP allows #organizations to continuously #improve, #cultivating #internalfeedbackloops that drive greater quality, by way of mapping out their #deliverypipeline into a new #structure.

When starting out with your #firstclient as a #DigitalMarketingAnalyst, you want to leave a good lasting impression. There are a few key #tips that will #bolster your #performance and may be difficult to figure out going in for the first time. Here are three #tips for your #firstclient as a #DigitalMarketingAnalyst.
KNOW YOUR #DATA Many #organizations gather huge amounts of #data but don’t know what to do with it. You need to know how to #organize this #data, and how to #utilize it #effectively. Knowing how to properly and #effectively sort the #data and use it to your #advantage is half the battle. You can’t properly read what you’ve #gathered without the first #developing a #system for #tracking it. Know your #data as it comes in, and once you have it #organized properly, you can begin #analyzing. It’s important to know what the #context of the #data is. What situations were they #gathered in? Is the #data from a sure-fire #campaign or something more #experimental?
MAKE #DECISIONS-- OR #SUGGESTIONS When you’ve #gathered the #data, you need to know how to actually draw #conclusions from it. The #data tells a story, and it’s your job to figure out what that is. What are the common #trends? When compiling the #data into #graphs and #charts, what does it tell you? Are people tiring of #specific #marketingtactics? Is there a shift in public #opinion about a certain #topic, and how does that affect your #organization’s #marketingstrategy? When you’ve made a #determination, consider possible #explanations, and get #feedback from others. Then, create a #plan of action based on that #information, and present it to the rest of the #marketingteam. What do they think? Encourage #feedback and ensure to invite different #perspectives on the same #data.
TRACK NEW #CAMPAIGNS When your #organization begins a new #campaign, use it to your #advantage to get in on the ground floor, #tracking how it’s made from the ground up, #analyzing it, and #stacking that up with the #metrics you #measure. This can reveal how internal factors can affect real-world #performance, and also allows you to see where changes could be made based on #data #gathered. When doing this, be sure to take every #opportunity to set ‘#trackers’ into the #development and #deployment of the #campaigns, so that you can #gather more #data than you would otherwise.

Once #Agile bridged the gap between software development and general team management, it was sure to spread everywhere, from marketing all the way to accounting. One place it may work better than you would first assume is #AgileSales.
So what do #sales need from #Agile? Why should #Agile be implemented into #sales? It’s all about the people. A good #AgileSales team needs to be prepared to make sharp-turn decisions and able to implement adjustments as they’re needed, from multiple perspectives, changing their approach when it's needed with no downtime.
The focus remains on people and their workflow and allowing them the ability to change direction as needed.
Manifesto for #AgileSales
We are uncovering better ways of achieving #sales by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
(Quota retirement) Over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
While #Agile was created with Software development in mind, only a few changes allow it to work for back-to-back #sales. This allows #sales leaders to create high-performing #sales teams that are accountable, engaged, and creating great results.
The goals for achieving #Agility in your sales are as follows;
Prioritize creating value for the client through valuable insights and recommendations Welcome changing requirements, even late in a sale. Harness changes as an advantage. Sales teams deliver progression around the buying cycle frequently (in weeks rather than months) Clients and #sales people must work together, if possible daily, through the #sale Motivated #sales teams are given the environment and support they need and trusted to act A face-to-face conversation is the most efficient and effective form of communication Progression around the buying cycle is the primary measure of progress
Continuous attention to behavioural excellence and good #sales strategy enhances #agility The best understanding of needs and positioning of solutions emerges from self-organizing teams The team reflects regularly on how to become more effective and adjusts accordingly

What is #digital #branding?
A #brand without a #digital presence is like a car without tires. It’s not going to get anywhere fast. Businesses today need a diversified array of #digitalbranding tools to cement their real-world presence.
Why does a #digitalbrand presence matter? Well, look up from that phone you’re probably on… we’re all using our devices constantly.
Most of us engage with the larger world through the lens of the internet, which makes it essential for #brands to reach target customers and convert one-time users into long-term loyalists.

You have the control ad (A) and the one with a variation (B), and you compare them at the same time, changing only one variable between them to see which one gets the better performance. For example, a higher click rate. It is a #userexperience research methodology vastly used in this online world that surrounds us and the backbone of almost every successful app, webpage, #adcampaign, etc…That you can think of!
Let’s say an organization puts up two ads-- both ads are pretty much the same, but if you were to look closely you will see that the variation ad has a different #CTA (call to action) button, “sign up” instead of “order now”. The idea of A/B testing comes from the hypothesis that maybe that small change (that could also be the text, the image, the link description, or the headline) can affect positively or negatively your #brand and if that’s so, how exactly.
Many tools can help you to compare the results and show you which one has a better performance than the other like crazyegg, #google analytics & #google optimize, optimizely, and many others.
If you are using Facebook manager only, you will anyways see which one has a better click rate, conversion rate, and few other metrics that perhaps is enough for you if, as mentioned in the previous example, you are just running ads on #Facebook or #Instagram.

The most important source of #traffic that you can get to your website is #organictraffic. And simply here is the reason: #organictraffic is targeted. Search engine optimization (#SEO) is, without a doubt, one of the best ways to achieve reliable, long-term results. You’ll be able to produce passive #organictraffic to your site for as long as you rank highly in Google.
Here’s how you can drum up #Organictraffic through #SEO.
Don’t just go with the most popular keywords in your #market. Use keywords that are more specific to your product or service.
Long-tail keywords are the perfect way to structure the body of your #content, with long-tail generally referring to terms containing three or more words. Remember: ranking on Google is about owning a sphere of influence for a specific niche topic. Enter one (or a few) relevant words or phrases into a tool like Ahrefs keywords explorer, then choose one of the keywords ideas reports to see hundreds or thousands of ideas.
When you claim your listing in Google My Business, the reason is most often that you want to impact your local search results, specifically in Google Maps listings. By default, those inbound clicks from GMB are being grouped with the rest of your #organicsearchtraffic from google.
Though most people referring to UX think of the process in terms of design work it may also encompass conducting #marketresearch, running split tests on proposed changes and analyzing data. But at its core, UX is about understanding the way something makes users feel, as it is these feelings that provoke users to action.
More than half of your website visitors is likely using mobile devices to access the internet. If you provide them with a bad experience, it can cause you huge #traffic loss. Hence, if you improve this by providing a mobile-friendly experience that can boost #organictraffic on your website

Now more than ever people are struggling to maintain good health during the pandemic. With the right foundation, you can start your own profitable #healthcoaching business and make the world a healthier place.
Your strategy:
Designing a #digitalmarketingstrategy to build your #healthcoaching #brand will highlight your uniqueness as a coach and help your audience resonate with you.
Your #brand:
Whether you are #certified or are self-educated, building your #personalbrand will be your foundation. You begin with identifying what particular services you’re offering and the characteristics that make you unique.
You will take on an identity ranging from the business name you decide to adopt, to the colours associated with your #brand. These aspects will distinguish you from others in the industry and display your personality to clients.
You may decide to give your #brand an exciting and tough personality. Or you could take on a friendly and sincere approach. Choosing the traits that best personify you will display authenticity to your audience. Authenticity will allow your audience to trust your advice and come looking for you whether times are good or bad.
Your target #market:
This is the stage where you decide the kinds of people you would like to coach or the types of problems to solve. You may decide to hone in on a specific demographic aligned with your particular expertise.
Google’s consumer barometer is a free tool to gain deeper insights into how your audience behaves online.
Perhaps you had struggled with and conquered a particular #healthchallenge and you could relate to your audience. This would be a strong selling point and an extra avenue for you to display a genuine desire to help.
You could also take on a more holistic approach tackling a wide range of #health areas. When you develop #healthcoaching programs you can tailor each one to solve for a specific #health area. These programs could be bundled together to solve #health problems holistically.
Ideally part of your offerings will include an ongoing #healthcoaching program. You know the value of keeping #healthy as a lifelong practice. #Coaching your clients consistently will ensure they stay #healthy long term. Ultimately, this will create long-lasting relationships with your clients and turn them into your #brand advocates.

Utilize stable, proven technology When you’re #hosting #virtualtraining, you need to ensure that you’re using a #secure, #program that allows you to clearly #communicate with the students, while including all the features you need. This is very important-- having a #connection problem partway through a class can entirely disrupt the flow of the teaching process. It’s important to also consider how easy the program is to use for your students. It may be easy for you, but that doesn’t matter if nobody can figure out how to join!
Be proactive; be #engaging This tip may seem obvious, but what you might not know is how much harder it is to keep a class #engaged when it’s being done #virtually. The students aren’t physically in a classroom; they may have dressed up in comfy pyjamas and will start dozing any minute, or they may simply lose attention and be on their phones. You have to be ready for this and accommodate for it. Make your training very #interactive, keep the students #engaged and on their toes through active interaction with them, as well as activities that test the #knowledge of what they’ve learned so far. Encourage them to keep their webcam on, and keep yours on as well, as this will help them both be more attentive and more self-aware of their own actions.
Educate We know you’re already teaching a class, but be sure to give details on the platform you will be using to host the #training. This can be done through an #email sent out to all the participants detailing the steps to join the #class, how to use some of the basic functions like #mute and #camera, and anything else they need to be successful in the #course. This goes for you, too; be sure you know the #platform you’re using, so you can utilize all of its features and know what to do in the event that something goes awry.

As a #ScrumMaster, it’s up to you to build #effective and #highperforming teams. These teams deliver #consistentresults and #communicateeffectively with #ProductOwners and #Stakeholders. It takes careful #consideration and a lot of effort to #achieve, but it can be done-- here are some of the #qualities found in almost every successful #Agile team.
A #collective spirit should be fostered within #Agile teams-- this includes a shared vision, a #perspective as a #unified body, mutual #respect and #trust between team members, and continuous, #effective #communication. You’re all #essential parts of a machine working hard to deliver #consistentvalue. This is not to diminish the individual #strengths and #achievements of team members, however-- #empower individuals but work together as a #collective, #cohesive team.
Because #highperforming #Agile teams work with a “one-team” spirit, their #performance objectives are #aligned in a similar way. #Organizations that have a #strategy defined around #ProductDelivery, as opposed to #ProjectDelivery, have little to no problems setting #objectives as all decisions are based on building the #quality of, and #delivering, the #product.

The #Inspect and #Adapt is a significant #event, held at the end of each #Program #Increment, where the current state of the #Solution is demonstrated and evaluated by the train. After this #evaluation, the teams reflect on the #backlog items and identify things to be improved, thus upholding the #Agile #Manifesto principle of continuous #improvement and #adjustment. This is additionally one of the four pillars of #SAFe. These opportunities should occur continuously throughout every program increment, but having additional structure and synchronization allows time to be allocated towards identifying and applying improvements across many different teams.
All #ART #stakeholders participate along with the #AgileTeams in the #I&A #event. The result is a set of improvement #backlog items that go into the #Program #Backlog for the next #PI #Planning event. In this way, every #AgileReleaseTrain improves every #PI. For large solutions, a similar #I&Aevent is held by the #SolutionTrain. The #I&Aevent consists of three parts:
Quantitative and qualitative measurement Retrospective and problem-solving workshop
The #PI System Demo is there to show all the features that have been developed within the #AgileReleaseTrain over the course of the #ProgramIncrement. The #audience of this demo typically includes the customer, #portfolio representatives, and more. This means the #event follows a more formal pattern and requires time for preparation and staging, though still timeboxed, with an emphasis on keeping #stakeholders engaged to provide feedback for #improvement.
The teams then have a brief retrospective to identify significant issues that may have come up during the #PI, allowing time to address them, or at least come up with a plan to utilize moving forward. The teams can provide members to develop new problem-solving teams, or existing teams can choose to tackle them. The combination of different members from existing teams allows for a greater diversity of thought, however, and helps develop solutions faster.
For addressing systemic problems, a structured, root-cause problem-solving workshop is held by the #ART. This kind of from-the-ground-up analysis of the problem allows the #ART to see what's causing the issue and gives them greater flexibility to actually solve the problem, not just the symptoms.

The Lean-Agile Mindset is the combination of beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and actions of SAFe leaders and practitioners who embrace the concepts of the Agile Manifesto and Lean thinking. It’s the personal, intellectual, and leadership foundation for adopting and applying SAFe principles and practices.
SAFe is firmly grounded in four bodies of knowledge: Lean, Agile, systems thinking, and DevOps. In fact, the genesis of SAFe was to develop guidance for enterprises on how to apply the principles and practices of Lean and Agile in the world’s largest organizations. For leaders, it requires a broader and deeper Lean-Agile mindset to drive the organizational change required to adopt Lean and Agile at scale across the entire enterprise.
The Lean-Agile mindset forms the cornerstone of a new management approach and an enhanced company culture that enables Business Agility. It provides leadership with the tools needed to drive a successful SAFe transformation, helping individuals and the entire enterprise achieve their goals.
A mindset is the mental lens through which we view the world around us. It is how the human brain simplifies, categorizes, and interprets the vast amount of information it receives each day. Through a lifetime of structured learning (classes, reading) and unstructured lessons (life events, work experience), we form our mindsets. They reside in the subconscious mind and manifest themselves as deeply held beliefs, attitudes, assumptions, and influences. Consequently, individuals are often unaware of how their mindsets influence how they carry out their responsibilities and interact with others. For example, many leaders develop beliefs through business school training and on-the-job experiences that are grounded in legacy waterfall, stage-gated, and siloed ways of working.
So how can mindsets be changed? It begins with an awareness of how one’s current mindsets were formed. It’s also vital to cultivate the belief that mindsets can be developed and improved (a ‘growth’ mindset,
Leaders must remain open to the possibility that existing mindsets based on traditional management practices need to evolve in order to guide the organizational change required to become a Lean enterprise.

As an independent #medicalpractitioner, you’re always looking for #cost-effective ways to register new #patients in your office. There are a number of sustainable, and long-term growth #marketingstrategies suitable for #healthcare that you must consider. These will give you a platform to display your practice, expose you to a wider audience and ultimately bring new #patients to your office.
A successful #marketingstrategy rewards you with an increase in #patient connections and engagement which can be nurtured into long-term relationships to #boost your practice. To make these #marketingstrategies work for you, a time commitment and engagement into the new-age of #digitalmarketing is needed starting with the #creation of your own custom #healthcare #website.
It is not uncommon for #healthcarepractitioners to feel as though a #website is not pertinent to their #business. However, having a #website for your practice can be influential in a number of ways especially including the fact it is always important to keep an online presence to be able to reach today’s #patients.
89% of consumers today highly depend on the internet to make informed decisions on #brands which influences their purchase of goods and services offered. If you are looking to be part of a patients’ decision-making process, you need to be where they are – on the internet!
Nearly 60% of all online searches are now carried out on a mobile device, as more and more consumers are using their #smartphones to do research, look up #businesses, and read reviews. Transitioning your website to a mobile-friendly format can additionally affect the bottom-line of your #medicalpractice. It is vital that your #websitecontent is designed to display properly for all visitors including those visiting from smaller screens such as phones and small tablets to avoid driving potential #patients away.
With your #website running, the next #strategy is customizing it to be found by #searchengines. As already mentioned, a big part of #onlinemarketing for #medical #doctors involves being where your potential #patients are. Now that more and more consumers are turning to #searchengines to look up offices, read reviews, and make decisions about their #health, you need to have a solid #searchengine presence to get in front of them at the right time.
Search Engine Optimization (#SEO) is often about making small modifications to parts of your #website. When viewed individually, these changes might seem like #incremental #improvements, but when combined with other optimizations, they could have a noticeable impact on your site’s user experience and performance in #organicsearch results.

When you want to build your #career path, expand your #business, and want to interact with the relevant people to get to where you want to be, #Linkedin is the way to go.
How to get followers on #Linkedin?
Create a profile/account – First and foremost you would have to create a profile that contains all relevant information about you. It’s more of a get-to-know part of your account that includes things like your personal informal, #education/#qualification, #workexperience, references, #achievements, #skills, etc.
Attract the right people – Once you have created your account make sure your follow button is available for people that have similar #experience or have gone to the same #institution can follow you, because they pop up once your profile is 100% updated.
Start following people – In order for you to gain #followers, you also need to start following people especially those in the category as you and like that other people will notice you, somehow start building relationships on the platform.
Post #content – Keeping a steady flow of fresh #content on your page will give it more visibility on feeds and should be attractive and exciting for your #followers to participate and get more people to follow you in order to grow your following and you should be consistent when it comes to posting #content.
Join conversations with #hashtags – Use three to five #relevanthashtags in your posts to reach new and existing #relevantcommunities with your #content. Also, when you associate your #linkedin page with #relevanthashtags in your communities hashtags panel, you can enter a feed and react/comment on conversations from the perspective of your organization, further exposing your #brand name to new, relevant audiences.
How to get more views on #Linkedin
Grow your network – Just like any other social media channel, #networking is the name of the game for succeeding on #Linkedin. You need to begin by connecting with people from your industry that you trying to attract.
Write on #Linkedin’s publishing platform – #Linkedin publishing gives you an opportunity to share your thoughts, showcase your industry knowledge and let people know more about yourself and what you offer and enables you to post long-form #content within #Linkedin itself. Be consistent – keep your views on their toes and make them want more of you.
Write from your heart – Most successful posts have been the ones that were centered around the common problems that almost every one of us faces in our #professional and daily lives.

So you want to start your own youtube channel? Let’s say you’ve got the technical stuff down-- you’ve created an account, and you’ve chosen a name that properly represents your organization. What next? How can you ensure your channel is up to standards to best represent your organization, with consistent branding and quality output? This video will offer three key aspects for ensuring a high-quality channel to help grow your brand.
Consistent branding As will all social media, the importance of keeping your branding consistent can not be overstated enough. Starting with the images used for your profile picture and banner, these should be the proper resolution and be representative of your brand. This means using the colors and styles associated with the brand, typically through visual style. This carries through to the ‘about’ page on your channel, where viewers can find more information on your organization, like links to other social media, the organization website, and more.
Upload quality What you upload is almost certainly the most important aspect of your youtube channel. Your uploads need to be quality content your viewers will find useful and valuable, and can range from direct marketing to instructional videos and information about subjects relevant to your organization. What’s also important to keep in mind is how these videos are shown to viewers. A consistent upload schedule is key-- not too many videos, but also not too little. Uploading consistently, and at a consistent amount, is an essential aspect of how the videos are shown to viewers and whether people will subscribe or not. In addition, the thumbnails and titles of these videos should be of extra attention, as this is what people will see before anything else.
Communication Youtube provides several tools that allow you to communicate with your audience. Outside of regular updates on your channel, there are posts you can make to your subscribers through youtube, making updates on the status of your channel, new videos, informational posts, and more. Be sure to share your youtube channel on other social media platforms as well; link to the channel in bios, share your youtube videos on your other social media sites, and even on your website, if users in these places would find value in them Aleph Technologies specializes in providing hands-on classroom-based and onsite IT certification training courses taught by expert instructors with practical industry experience.

The #Innovation and #PlanningIteration occurs every #ProgramIncrement and serves multiple purposes. It acts as an estimating buffer for meeting #PIobjectives and sets aside dedicated time for innovation, continuing education, #PIPlanning, And #Inspect and #Adapt (I&A) #Events. This is a #SAFe artifact, and so it has a strong focus on consistent, #continuousdelivery of value to customers.
The #IPIteration provides a time for teams to work together on activities that would normally be difficult to work into a #continuousdelivery model-- it helps cover the bases possibly missed initially, allowing the teams to meet their #goals for that #increment. Things that may be covered in the #IPIteration are:
Time for#innovation and #exploration, beyond the #iterations dedicated to the #delivery work on technical infrastructure, tooling, and other impediments to #delivery education to support #continuouslearning and #improvement
One of the pillars of the #SAFe #LeanAgileMindset is innovation, but actually having the time to #create and #develop new ideas may seem impossible between the #constantdelivery dates. This issue is one that #IPiterations seek to solve, giving teams an opportunity to facilitate #research and #design activities.
The #PISystemDemo occurs at the end of each #PI. It integrates the work of all teams on the #AgileReleaseTrain and presents it in a staging environment, reproducing production as accurately as possible. The purpose of this demo is to demonstrate the accumulation of features and capabilities that have been developed over the course of the #PI.

Choosing your #efforts Now, when I speak about #digitalmarketingstrategy, I'm not saying choose one #marketing venue-- like #emailmarketing or #SEO, I am rather speaking on how you can #plan to #effectively use each venue. This does not mean you should not be choosy, however, as placing your #efforts towards #marketing venues that make the most sense for you and your #consumer base is more important than spreading your #resources across all of them. Choose which makes sense for you.
A type of #marketing that has seen a surge of popularity in recent years is #reactivemarketing. #Reactivemarketing is when a #brand uses recent events and topics to #market, usually in an #effort to be more personable and relatable-- not to mention the #traffic recent events garner in the first place. #Reactivemarketing can no doubt have big returns, but it's important not to get carried away-- with #reactivemarketing come big risks.

When starting out with your #firstclient as a #DigitalMarketingAnalyst, you want to leave a good lasting impression. There are a few key #tips that will #bolster your #performance and may be difficult to figure out going in for the first time. Here are three #tips for your #firstclient as a #DigitalMarketingAnalyst.
KNOW YOUR #DATA Many #organizations gather huge amounts of #data but don’t know what to do with it. You need to know how to #organize this #data, and how to #utilize it #effectively. Knowing how to properly and #effectively sort the #data and use it to your #advantage is half the battle. You can’t properly read what you’ve #gathered without the first #developing a #system for #tracking it. Know your #data as it comes in, and once you have it #organized properly, you can begin #analyzing. It’s important to know what the #context of the #data is. What situations were they #gathered in? Is the #data from a sure-fire #campaign or something more #experimental?
MAKE #DECISIONS-- OR #SUGGESTIONS When you’ve #gathered the #data, you need to know how to actually draw #conclusions from it. The #data tells a story, and it’s your job to figure out what that is. What are the common #trends? When compiling the #data into #graphs and #charts, what does it tell you? Are people tiring of #specific #marketingtactics? Is there a shift in public #opinion about a certain #topic, and how does that affect your #organization’s #marketingstrategy? When you’ve made a #determination, consider possible #explanations, and get #feedback from others. Then, create a #plan of action based on that #information, and present it to the rest of the #marketingteam. What do they think? Encourage #feedback and ensure to invite different #perspectives on the same #data.
TRACK NEW #CAMPAIGNS When your #organization begins a new #campaign, use it to your #advantage to get in on the ground floor, #tracking how it’s made from the ground up, #analyzing it, and #stacking that up with the #metrics you #measure. This can reveal how internal factors can affect real-world #performance, and also allows you to see where changes could be made based on #data #gathered. When doing this, be sure to take every #opportunity to set ‘#trackers’ into the #development and #deployment of the #campaigns, so that you can #gather more #data than you would otherwise.

Что важнее для вашего бизнеса? Вы занимаетесь #СЕО или используете платную рекламу?
https://ads.google.com/intl/en_IN/home/
В это же время, платная реклама это другая опция рекламирования вашего бизнеса. Платная реклама это, как и понятно из названия, реклама за которую нужно платить. Для платных объявлений, рекламщик платит владельцу рекламного пространства для того чтобы у него было место где показывать объявление. И это могут быть такие платформы как Фейсбук, ЮТуб, Твиттер и так далее.

Hoy, me gustaría compartir los 4 mejores tips para #marketing en redes sociales.
Tip numero 1. Cree conexiones
con personas, empresas y comunidades, esto para crear un puente hacia tu #marca desde el que los usuarios puedan encontrarte. De se a conocer, proporciona un puente para que los usuarios encuentren tu #marca.
Tip numero 2. Muéstrese de una forma profesional. Cree imágenes específicamente para la plataforma que está utilizando, como banners de perfil e imágenes y asegúrese de revisar las publicaciones que crea su equipo antes de que se publiquen.
Tip numero 3. Encuentre su audiencia. Adapte sus publicaciones, hashtags y presencia general en torno a la audiencia a la que desea . No desea que los alcances de su sitio web de solicitudes de empleo, sean a personas jubiladas. Lo que desea es crear una conexión comunitaria con la audiencia para que las publicaciones de su marca se difundan dentro de grupos.
Tip numero 4. Utilice las plataformas adecuadas. Es importante cubrir todas las bases, también es importante encontrar la plataforma que mejor se adapte a sus necesidades. Es importante hacer esto, porque no desea dedicar su esfuerzo a un sitio web o plataforma que no proporcionará buenos rendimientos. Vas a tener más suerte tratando de compartir consejos de hojas de cálculo en Linkedin que en Twitter.

You want a #Wikipedia page for your brand, your CEO, or even yourself. You know how to tell the story but aren’t sure if the page will pass the publishing muster. Your success lies in a single word – notability. Notability is the test #Wikipedia editors use to decide if a topic merits its own article. You need to develop a case, using only sources that #Wikipedia recognizes, which explains why the entry warrants inclusion in a global encyclopedia.
Criterion 1: The coverage comes from a #media outlet The coverage you cite should come from the news media. Marketing and PR content, such as a news release, your website, or even the bio from a speaker’s bureau, doesn’t cut it. You want coverage in newspapers, magazines, television shows, radio shows, books – this is #Wikipedia’s strike zone.
What about blogs, podcasts, and e-newsletters? While these platforms are part of the #media ecosystem, they’re generally not high-profile enough to meet the notability requirements. Criterion 2: The outlet is notable Not only do the sources need to be independent, but they should be notable or part of the mainstream media. A local or trade publication (Think: ARLnow or PR Daily) is less helpful than a regional or national one (Think: The Star Ledger or CNN.) What counts as “mainstream”? That’s somewhat gray. As a rule of thumb, the outlet should employ editors and issue corrections when mistakes are made. Criterion 3: The outlet is independent Your #media citations must be independent of the page’s subject. This criterion rules out anything you publish yourself. (Sorry, Kindle Direct Publishing authors.) It also rules out sources you might think are perfectly acceptable. Why #media coverage is the gold standard Here’s the view from #Wikipedia: To be covered in the #media, a reporter must believe the topic is important or interesting. The reporter’s content goes through a review process that traditionally includes fact-checkers, editors, and even lawyers. While media coverage may be a flawed form of validation, it’s the least flawed one available. Indeed, #Wikipedia worthiness has proven to be such an equitable benchmark that social #media companies, like Twitter, may soon use it in deciding which handles warrant a coveted verification badge. Criterion 4: The coverage focuses on the page subject The #media coverage must include more than a mention of your subject. In other words: Being quoted once or twice in an #article is not particularly helpful. Being quoted extensively is better but not necessarily sufficient. What you want is coverage where your topic is the focus. Criterion 5: The coverage is online Once you have media coverage that meets the above criteria, then you need the original links. Put simply, if the article doesn’t appear online — so others can access and verify it — then you can’t cite it. This is part of #Wikipedia’s ban on original research; every claim you make must be meticulously footnoted. Criterion 6: The coverage is sustained Finally, you need to demonstrate the #media coverage isn’t just significant but sustained. For example, if all the clips come from the past three months, then #Wikipedia probably considers you to be “notable for only one event.” In such cases, your best bet is not to create a new page but to pursue inclusion in an existing one.

Haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, worum es bei diesem kleinen Schloss in der Ecke der Website, die Sie besuchen, geht? Das ist ein #SSL-Zertifikat. Dies bedeutet, dass die Website, die Daten verschlüsselt, die von und zu ihr übertragen werden. Dies bedeutet im Grunde, dass die Website sicher ist, sodass Ihre Informationen von anderen nicht erhalten werden können.
Was bedeutet das für mich? Sollte ich es auf meiner Website haben? Absolut!
Es ist unglaublich wichtig, dass Sie ein "#SSL-Zertifikat" für Ihre Website erhalten.
Wenn Ihre Website nicht #SSL-zertifiziert ist, warnen viele Browser wie Google Chrome oder Firefox möglicherweise vor Ihrer Website.
Natürlich möchten Sie, dass sich Ihre Nutzer sicher fühlen. So sicher, dass sie möglicherweise Transaktionen und persönliche Informationen bereitstellen, damit diese die erforderlichen Aktionen ausführen können.
Nutzer möchten sich sicher fühlen, wenn sie Informationen auf Ihrer Website teilen und sich keine Sorgen machen, dass jemand ihre persönlichen Daten stiehlt.

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado de qué se trata ese pequeño candado en la esquina de la barra de navegación del sitio web que estás visitando?.
Se trata de un #certificado #SSL. Esto significa que el sitio web que está visitando está cifrando los datos que se transmiten desde y hacia él. Básicamente significa que el sitio web es seguro y que los piratas cibernéticos no pueden obtener o acceder a su información fácilmente.
En términos generales, ¿qué significa eso? ¿Debe estar en mi sitio web?
¡Absolutamente!
Es muy importante que obtenga un "#Certificado #SSL" para su sitio web.
Si su sitio web no tiene #certificación #SSL, muchos navegadores como Google Chrome o Firefox pueden advertir de esto a los usuarios que visitan su sitio web.
Naturalmente, usted quiere que los usuarios se sientan seguros al compartir información en su sitio web o mientras realizan transacciones y dar su información personal.
Sus usuarios no quieren preocuparse de que alguien pueda robar su información personal.
Es por eso que necesita un sitio web seguro y protegido, para eso es ese pequeño candado.
Sea seguro y haga que sus clientes se sientan protegidos.

The #AgileManifesto states, “The most #efficient and #effective method of conveying #information to and within a #development team is a face-to-face conversation.” #PIPlanning, being a #SAFe artifact, takes this to its own #frameworks, creating large-scale #PIPlanning events that align many different teams to a shared #vision. They provide the #benefits of significant return on #investment and ensure stability in large #organizations. This kind of planning allows a way to bring teams together even when it may be difficult to align an entire #ART, instead of supporting the idea that “the people who do the work plan the work.”

In addition, the embodiment of the #principles appears throughout the #Framework. They are summarized in the following sections, and each has a full article behind the link.
Deming observed that addressing the #challenges in the #workplace and the #marketplace requires an #understanding of the #systems within which workers and users operate. Such systems are complex, and they consist of many interrelated components.
Traditional design and life cycle #practices encourage choosing a single design-and-requirements option early in the #development process.
Cadence creates predictability and provides a rhythm for #development. #Synchronization causes multiple perspectives to be understood, resolved and integrated at the same time.
Achieving fast #valuedelivery requires decentralized decision-making. This reduces delays, #improves #productdevelopment flow, enables faster feedback, and creates more innovative #solutions designed by those closest to the local knowledge. #10 – Organize around value Many #enterprises today are #organized around principles developed during the last century. In the name of intended efficiency, most are #organized around functional expertise.

Now, it’s not free- it has several different pricing plans to help you #adapt to your #organization’s #financial abilities. The first plan is basic, being just the #landingpagecreator, allowing mobile-friendly site #templates, #leadnotifications, pop-up and alert bar creation, and more. Higher tiers allow the #creation of entire #websites with #features such as #onlinesales, #AB split #testing and opt-in #textcampaigns.
The bar itself is used in too many #websites to count, being an immensely common way of portraying important #information or even #promotions where everyone can see. #HelloBar is a tool used for #creating these bars for your #websites, allowing for a high number of #subscribers and #popups, as well as #targetingfeatures and in-depth #designfeatures. These things increase as you go up the tiers. You could use this bar as a link to your #landingpage, a quick way to get back to the page that gives a #consumer everything they need. This allows a way to #garner #traffic in a constructive way, without cluttering up your #website. You can also use this bar to offer product or service promotions, such as sales or limited-time deals. This is much easier than #editing the page by itself and is easy to change or remove if need be.

Core Values The four Core Values of alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to SAFe’s effectiveness. These guiding principles help dictate behavior and action for everyone who participates in a SAFe portfolio.
SAFe is based on four primary bodies of knowledge: Agile development, Lean product development, systems thinking, and DevOps. That makes SAFe broad, deep and scalable. But at its core, SAFe places the highest value on four things: alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution.

5 marketing clubhouse tools
1. humans on #clubhouse if you’re coming to the platform with a specific goal in mind, you might want to use humans on #clubhouse. this tool offers 1:1 connections to anyone within a particular niche. whether you’re trying to network, build a following, or find an influencer, this clubhouse tool can help you
2. clubhype a big downside to the clubhouse platform, in general, is how challenging it can be to get the word out. since the platform is kept relatively exclusive, there are extra steps you’ll want to take to ensure everyone knows you’re hosting an event
3. clublink the goal of all #clubhouse tools is to make lives easier for you and anyone you want to join your event. clublink is another tool that helps create an attractive preview you can share on social media to get people to join. one unique feature is that it optimizes the time zone based on the host, so you won’t have to convert anything or worry about missing a session.
clublink also has multiple sharing options based on the platform you’re sharing it on. no matter if you’re using twitter, facebook, or instagram, the tool makes it simple for you to create an attention-grabbing preview to get more viewers to join your event
4. find #clubhouse
this tool is similar to humans on clubhouse, but instead, it helps you find specific clubs based on topics you’re interested in. from a marketing standpoint, it would be good to use this in the beginning so you can find groups that relate to your business and could help you find listeners who may want to join your club as well.
there are tons of different ways to search, and they even promote clubs based on how much they’re trending. all you need to do is go over to the find #clubhouse site and search based on your interests. from there, you can join clubs, see what the moderators are doing, and get ideas for how you’ll start to create your own audience.
5. ask #clubhouse
next on the list of #clubhouse tools is something that makes it easier for you to engage with your audience. if you’ve ever hosted a live event, you know how challenging it is to address all the questions as they’re pouring in.
ask #clubhouse helps you do this by creating a board where people can ask their questions, and you can address them later on in the event or even at a later date. best of all, you’ll answer the questions so everyone else can hear, which reduces the need to answer the same question over and over again

Continuous Learning Culture The Continuous Learning Culture competency describes a set of values and practices that encourage individuals—and the enterprise as a whole—to continually increase knowledge, competence, performance, and innovation. This is achieved by becoming a learning organization, committing to relentless improvement, and promoting a culture of innovation.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why Continuous Learning Culture? Organizations today face an onslaught of forces that create both uncertainty and opportunity. The pace of technology innovation is beyond exponential. Startup companies challenge the status quo by transforming, disrupting, and in some cases eliminating entire markets. Juggernaut companies like Amazon and Google are entering entirely new markets such as banking and healthcare. At any moment, political, economic, and environmental turmoil threaten to change the rules. Expectations from new generations of workers, customers, and society as a whole challenges companies to think and act beyond balance sheets and quarterly earnings reports. Due to all of these factors and more, one thing is certain: organizations in the digital age must be able to adapt rapidly and continuously or face decline—and ultimately extinction.
What’s the solution? In order to thrive in the current climate, organizations must evolve into adaptive engines of change, powered by a culture of fast and effective learning at all levels.
Learning organizations leverage the collective knowledge, experience, and creativity of their workforce, customers, supply chain, and the broader ecosystem.
They harness the forces of change to their advantage. In these enterprises, curiosity, exploration, invention, entrepreneurship, and informed risk-taking replace commitment to the status quo while providing stability and predictability.
Rigid, siloed top-down structures give way to fluid organizational constructs that can shift as needed to optimize the flow of value.
Decentralized decision-making becomes the norm as leaders focus on vision and strategy along with enabling organization members to achieve their fullest potential.
Any organization can begin the journey to a continuous learning culture by focusing its transformation along three critical dimensions
The three dimensions are:

TikTok has been one of the most talked-about #social media apps of recent times and became the topic of conversation for both good and bad reasons alike. For those of you living under a rock, TikTok is a social media app that enables its users to create short videos ranging from lip-syncing to comedies to talent videos, etc. Chinese developer, ByteDance launched the app in 2017 primarily for markets and regions outside of China. TikTok is available both on iOS and Android. As per the app, ‘Our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy.’ TikTok boasts of a whopping 500 million active users worldwide, making it 9th with respect to other social network sites, such as LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, and Pinterest. TikTok had approximately 13.2 million new users in the United States alone during Q1 2019, an increase of 181% year-over-year, or 2.8 times the 4.7 million installs it had there in Q1 2018. The growth of the app has been accredited largely to India. An estimated 88.6 million users joined the app in Q1 19. This was 8.2 times more the number in Q1 18 and was largely from Android, with Google Play responsible for almost 99 percent of downloads. TikTok: The Next Big Social Media App Since its launch in 2016, the app has experienced massive growth. TikTok, also known as Douyin in China now, was actually launched as A.me back in the year 2016. Douyin had approx. 100 million users, and daily 1 billion video views within only just 1 year of its launch. It was only renamed TikTok, when it was launched internationally in September 2017. However, the game for TikTok changed when it acquired the famous video app called Musical.ly in Dec 2017 and once Musical.ly’s users were completely shifted to TikTok is when the actual impact of TikTok began, especially in the international market. TikTok recorded 600 million downloads worldwide, in 2018 and became the fourth most downloaded app in the world, next to WhatsApp, Messenger, and Facebook. TikTok became the most downloaded app throughout the entire year and became popular in the top three mobile markets in the world- China, USA and India. How TikTok is evolving an important #marketing tool Like any social media app, TikTok has become important for #marketing and brand opportunities. The app focuses on putting video first, and hence becomes an important tool to use especially to cater to the younger target audiences. One of the major #marketing opportunities on TikTok comes with influencer #marketing. From makeup to fashion, to tutorials, to cooking, and to baking, TikTok has a large number of influencers focusing in this space and hence is important for brands to target especially for product placement. Some of these TikTok influencers have millions of followers and that becomes your exact target group. Another important aspect of #marketing on this app is to create your own channel and post original content. This will keep the entire control of your content in your hands, and you can post original videos the way your brand wants. However, it is important to ensure the content is suited to the tool and is viral. Conclusion While the app is growing massively, there are some speculations that the growth may die down as it did for vines in the past. However, since vines were only vaguely similar to TikTok it is impossible to predict. However, we know one thing for sure, despite the controversies and the negative air around the app, the app will continue to grow and will become more popular in the future. The fact that influencers, brands, and celebrities are also now using this app makes it evident that the app is here to stay.

What Exactly Is A #DigitalNomad? Let’s start by defining what being a #digitalnomad really means. The term digital nomad is used as a descriptor for many different types of location independent workers from people who have passive income streams to those who work in the gig economy as they move about. Location independence means nomads have true freedom thanks to healthy incomes that allow them to run their business from any city on the planet, even from the most expensive ones.
Join A #DigitalNomad Community Getting started as a digital nomad or taking your online business to new heights starts by joining Communities. Forums and facebook groups make it easy to contact groups of nomads or specific ones that you may admire to get advice or feedback. You get access to like-minded individuals who are ready to kick butt and take the world by storm.
Identify Your Skills The first thing you need to do is figure out what skills you possess that you can Monetize online. You’ll obviously need to be able to type and use a computer as well as the Internet. The good news is that in today’s day and age, that’s a skill most people already have. You can increase the chances of landing higher-paying remote work by building on knowledge and #skills from things you’ve studied or worked on in the past.
Become A Freelancer Once you’ve figured out what skills you have that will enable you to work remotely, you need to find a job. Arguably the easiest way to do this is to scour remote specific job sites.
Build Your Business Once you’ve been a freelancer for a bit, you can start building out your business. If you do a good job, it’ll be easy to get referrals for new clients and your income streams will grow. You can also consider creating your own Website And Business Cards to market your #business and increase your reach and reputation. Remember to keep in mind that you may be working from different parts of the globe, so you’ll want to make sure you schedule work and gigs in the right time zones.
Create A Plan and Stick to It As a digital nomad, it is especially important to set goals and plans and follow through with them. For the nomadic lifestyle to work, you need to be clear on what you want, where you want to go, how long you may want to stay and what you need to do to make it happen. Keep in mind that plans shouldn’t only revolve around your income as a #remoteworker. You also want to address everyday aspects of living on the go, and being available to potential clients as they come.

The starting point for this process includes a “#DigitalAnalyticsBrief” that will be used to identify #goals, #measurementobjectives, and #specificelements that need to be tracked with #analytics.
Step 1: Defining #BusinessRequirements With the #DigitalAnalyticsBrief in hand, the #businessanalyst should have pertinent #information necessary to begin the process of defining #businessrequirements. Depending on the scope of the #project, this part of the process should take between one and five hours to complete with the #DigitalAnalyst leading the #effort and #stakeholders collaborating with details.
Step 2: Creating A #SolutionDesign Often one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of #digitalanalytics is #documentation. #Documentation provides an #organization with the ability to clearly define and record #keycomponents of its #digitalanalytics #implementation.
Step 3: #DevelopingCode Unlike #traditionaldevelopment, #digitalanalytics (especially #AdobeAnalytics) requires its own #specificcode base that includes #events, #eVars, and #sProps to work properly.
Step 4: #QualityAssurance As with all #developmentprojects, #digitalanalytics requires #QAtesting to ensure that #tags are #implemented correctly and that #data appears within the interface as expected. At #AnalyticsDemystified, we have developed our own processes for #administering #QA on #digitalanalyticstags.
Step 5: User #Acceptance & #Launch In closing, there are many different #processes that can (and should) be applied to #digitalanalytics. By building the process around mission-critical #tasks, #businesses can #create #efficiency in the way they work and bring new levels of #standards and #accountability to staff. By creating a process for new #analytics requests, we’ve witnessed that #organizations become more skilled at deploying #tagging and #reports in a timely manner with fewer defects.

If you’re looking for a #guide that walks you through HOW TO #START A #PODCAST, you’re absolutely in the right place… Starting a #podcast isn’t difficult, In this #podcastingtutorial, we’ll walk you through every step of the process:
● Choosing a topic & name ● Show and episode format ● Cover art creation ● Equipment selection ● Promotion tips ● What to podcast about ● Equipment you’ll need ● How to record & edit ● How to promote your podcast
Let’s get started:
This is the initial (often overlooked) stage to make a #podcast. You’ll want to spend a good amount of time here before you move on. Feel free to get out a notebook or a whiteboard so you can start planning your #podcast like a pro. CHOOSE A #TOPIC You want your podcast to be focused on a particular topic or niche. Try to narrow it down to something you can speak about for many episodes (100+) but that isn’t so broad that you won’t appeal to your potential audience. CHOOSE A #NAME If you look at the top Apple #Podcasts charts, you’ll see a variety of different names. Some are descriptive of what the show is about, while others don’t mean much.
You’ll get hundreds of different designers to produce a draft – then you can choose the ones you like to have them further refined. GET A #MICROPHONE It’s both a USB microphone and has an XLR connection which lets you upgrade your recording equipment without needing a new mic.
If you are doing an interview show, now is the time to get a list together of who you want on your podcast.
Alitu (The Easy Way) If you haven’t used editing software before, even simple actions in GarageBand or Audacity can be quite intimidating. It’s a ‘#podcastmaking’ tool that automates a lot of the confusing technical parts, and practically builds your episode for you. It’s all based right inside your browser, so no software to download, and it works on any computer connected to the internet. Other audio editing software is similar but most have more advanced features that you don’t need when getting started. Popular options are Adobe Audition & Audacity (both work with Mac & PC).
GET A #PODCASTHOST I use and highly recommend #Buzzsprout podcast hosting after trying many different companies over the years.

As a newcomer or even a veteran in the industry, and there is a #market you see that's overtaken, or 'owned' by an existing company. When you see this, as a #marketer, one of the biggest decisions you can make is to try and overtake the #market, or exist alongside the already established institution. If your product provides key elements of the competition- use that to your advantage. You're trying to win the loyalty of the #market, or fill in the gap the other institution left. Play to those aspects, and you'll find your footing in no time.

Have you ever quickly pulled up the name of a #business near you to get directions? You probably saw the opening and closing times, customer reviews, maybe a menu if it was a restaurant, frequent questions and answers, and more. This is a powerful part of #marketing your #business, especially if you're a physical store that people visit. Having individuals see your #business, how other people react to it, as well as plenty of information, allows them to make an informed decision on visiting.
On top of this, #marketing to your area, as a physical #business, is very important. People enjoy a sense of community, and not only showing, but exemplifying, your place in that community, can make people feel more comfortable with your #business. Examples of this might be sales in response to local events, or #marketing to match the attitude of the local area. It all depends on who your audience is, and the community around you.

When the world adopted #virtualcommunication, whether, by choice or circumstance, many people had significant troubles #adapting to the new way of working. #AgileTeams in particular was shaken up, as many #frameworks never accounted for the loss of physical contact.
One of the primary ways to ensure #Agility when #workingvirtually is a strong sense of community and personal #connection between members of the #team. If you're connected with your team members, you'll naturally become more in tune with their thoughts and feelings, as well as their ways of #working. Following up will no longer feel as much like something you do as a job, becoming more #natural.

When it comes to #facilitating an #Agileteam, you'll have to make #toughdecisions on occasion. Through the #decision-making process, you need to maintain #neutrality. This can be achieved through the careful #application of several #techniques and #tools.
Understand #compromise. Nobody likes to #compromise. It's an end reached by necessity, not by choice, but #understanding why it's needed and #accepting it when it's the only option is vital. Continuously reaching for an end that is unachievable is unrealistic and can drain energy and resources from you and your #team.
Don't dawdle on your #decisions. One of the hardest things to do is make a #decision on the fly, but frequently the #decisions you need to make aren't time-sensitive. On the other hand, though, this can be problematic as it can lead to procrastination. The harder a #decision is, the easier it can be to put it off. Set a limit for yourself, a time that you need to have decided by.
Be #neutral. While staying #neutral is a skill (and topic) all on its own, it's important to factor it in when making #decisions. You want to make sure your #decision is not influenced by personal opinion or leans one way or the other. It needs to be by-the-books and influenced by clear-cut logic, and the #considerations of your #team.

As an #AgileFacilitator, one of the most important qualities you can have is #neutrality. Without #neutrality, you can lose the #trust of your #team, and the #decisions you make, as well as your relationships. So, how do you maintain this #essential, a vital part of #facilitation?
Change your #mindset. Just like with any form of #Agile, changing your #mindset is #essential to achieving #neutrality. Start thinking as a group, using words like we rather than I. Make #decisions as a group, and think about how you can all work together to #achieve goals. This can help set your mind where it needs to be to make team-centric decisions, rather than cultivating an "us vs. them" mentality.
Listen to your #team, and #understand their motivations. Especially when balancing the needs of the #team, you need to #understand all of your #team members to strike a #neutral balance. You don't want to be giving one person all the work, or favoring another without realizing it. Especially when you are receiving #constructivefeedback, it is absolutely vital to listen and absorb what your #team is saying.
If you find yourself losing #neutrality, as for advice from the #team. Open yourself to #constructivefeedback, and ensure that you can receive the information you need to reach a state of #neutrality. Nobody will notice your biases better than your #team-- but you probably already know that.

What is media planning? Media planning is the process of making decisions about where, when, and how often to deliver a message to an audience. The idea is to reach the highest number of the right audience with the right message only as often as you need to get the desired effect (brand awareness, leads, sales, or other business goal).
For most of marketing history, media planning involved paid placements on #media channels (print, radio, and television).
But in the mid-1990s, media planninggot a lot more complicated.
The more #media #planning changes, the more it stays the same Still, the core concept of traditional #media #planning hasn’t changed.
Even in 2021, great media planning is about understanding which #media channels gives you the best opportunity to:
● Deliver the right message
● To the right person
● At the right time
● So enough people take the desired action
● At a cost that fits the availabl e budget and goals.
It’s still about balancing the choice of getting attention in the middle of nowhere and trying to stand out in a congested media channel.
To get the balance right requires understanding how the foundation of traditional media planning has shifted to modern media planning, social #media #marketing, and the use of owned media as part of the strategy.
To figure out which of these you should do and how much effort they require, you need to understand these#marketing terms:
● Flight dates refer to the start and end dates for your live content. You assess the content’s effectiveness after the time. For example, you might define a flight as one month.
● Impressions describe the number of views of your content. Don’t equate impressions with unique viewers. If the same person views the ad or piece of content 200 times, that counts as 200 impressions.
● Cost per thousand (cpm) describes the cost of those impressions. For example, if a #media platform promises 100,000 impressions for $10,000, that’s a cpm of $100 (10,000 x $100 per thousand = 100,000).
● Net reach refers to the total number of people who could see your content. Net reach helps you understand how many times your content could be seen by the same person.
● Click-through rate in digital media is the average percentage of people who click to whatever you call them to do. This is sometimes called a conversion rate if they are going to fill out a form or in some way have to do things beyond just clicking. With social media, likes, shares, and follows might be measured separately but they also may be considered other types of “conversions.”
#media plan is the combination of all the media channels you use in a time period to achieve strategic success. It’s sometimes called an integrated #marketing communications plan. When someone asks what your integrated marketing communications plan is, they want to know how you use your budget across various media channels to reach a specific audience in support of your specific strategic business goals

Go #niche on #subreddits The magic of #Reddit is, if you can think of it, there’s probably a #community built around it. It’s the perfect place to #research obscure topics and comes up with new #contentideas. As you explore, keep in mind the more #specific the #subreddit is, the greater likelihood #experts will be there. These #digital water coolers draw #people to #chat about their #industry and shared interests. Given there are thousands of #subreddits to sort through, it can be overwhelming if you aren’t familiar with the #platform.
Here are a few places to #begin your #search:
Instead of beginning with #Reddit’s #homepage thread, go deeper into the #forum’s #subgroups. Search for a #generalterm for your #topic to see an overview of the #communities associated with it. From there, you can identify #nichesubreddits that fit your #specific areas of #interest in the #topic. Each group has thousands of people talking about everything from troubleshooting the design press mechanisms to debugging lines of code.
The #subreddit r/IAmA stands for “I am a” while #AMA means “#askmeanything.” It gives #specialists, #publicfigures, and working #professionals a #platform to answer questions from fellow #Redditors. You also can find these people elsewhere on the #site. Since #Reddit’s #interface can be slightly unintuitive, a few more steps are involved to identify them.
Other #socialnetworks expect you to display your name and photo, #Reddit does the opposite. #Users can choose to remain #anonymous, giving them the freedom to share opinions without having any personal information attached to them. But some #Redditors share their identity and even post links to their #website or other #socialcontent.
Have they responded to #posts connected to their #expertise or #industry? If you want to see a #user’s #post and #commenthistory, click on their profile name. From there, you can begin to check out the types of #content they’re interacting with.

Now, I turn to #conclusions, which don’t get the same attention but are critical. Your #readers who arrive at them have cared enough about the #topic to consume it all. Focus on the wrong aspects or omit them, and you risk people leaving your site forever.
Here are 10 #options to #create more #effectiveconclusions.
When writing conclusions, I tend to stick to the #classicstructure: ● Final words on the topic with one more #keywordmention ● #CallToAction to a product or service ● Final question or food for thought that will #motivate people to #comment or #share the #post
Envision your article’s conclusion as a landing page. Multiple #CTAs will confuse readers. They could pick the low-priority #CTA link instead of the one you really wanted to emphasize. Roger Maftean’s post on #CTAs will help you create ones that convert so you can pick the best single option #CTA to use as the conclusion. In this example, adobe makes it obvious what it wants readers to do:
Make it a #summary Summarizing a post is a frequently used #tactic. You want people to remember your #mainideas and maybe even your #brand name.
If you haven’t managed to bring up your #product or #service in the #body of an #article, incorporate a #subtlemention at the #end.
You can give #readers something #relevant to the #articletopic, a #handout, #template, #video, or #testimonial that will be #helpful or #motivate them.
Keep them #reading You already know the #reader is interested in the #topic if they get to the #conclusion. You can use that to push them to other #relevantcontent, keeping them on your #website longer. Write a #blogpost ends while keeping in mind the possibility for people to stay on your #website and read more on a #subject.
Adapt to the #contenttype Like with everything in the #content world, there’s no one-size-fits-all. If you have different #types of #blogposts, you can make your #conclusion consistent with each #type. For #casestudies, the most natural flow is to highlight how people could get in touch with you or find out more about your #solution.
Build a #community Create a sense of belonging by inviting people to join your #community on #socialmedia or other #channels like slack, circle, etc. Provide a #sneakpeek into what your #community looks like and the #perks of being there. #Pinpoint #pastachievements and appeal to causes your #audience care about.
Get people to #think The best #conclusion is one people will remember long after. Asking your #readers to reflect encourages them to keep thinking (and remembering your content) after reading.
Touch on #rankingfactors Conclusions are yet one more way of playing a bit with google’s ranking factors. #Comments count as #pagecontent. Bring readers over to your comments section with sentences like “ask a question and drop your best or brightest below.” Or “let us know in the comments below.”

Explore these #keytactics, #tools, and #timesavers to make putting together the puzzle easier and help you shine when it comes to sharing your #performancedata.
SELECT #BETTERKEYWORDPHRASES There is no “right” when it comes to #keywords because they involve plenty of guesswork. A #keywordphrase might seem ideal, but additional work and time reveal whether it’s not #relevant enough or too competitive.
As a starting point, focus on #searcher intent to better match your #keywords to possible conversions.
You can’t rely on your hunches for #keywordchoices. You also can’t do #keywordresearch, plugin #data based on some #formula, and run with the results. Examine the #data and decide what it’s telling you.
DON'T DISMISS #OUTRIGHT If your #site is ranking no. 99 now for the #keyword, it probably won’t be no. 1 or no. 11 even eight months from now. But don’t rule out the #keyword. Other #variables will make it clear whether to scratch it from your list.
SET THE #VALUE IN #LOWSEARCHVOLUME Precise #keywordphrases (long tails) may be great options. For example, if your #product has a high price tag, say $30,000, your prospect #audience probably isn’t that big. So even 20 #searches a month is worthwhile. Be patient. #Lowsearchvolume #keywordphrases can bring the right prospects over time.
IDENTIFY HOW #SEOPERFORMS BEYOND #RANKINGS People are still fascinated with #rankings. They’re a measure of success, I guess. But how your #websiteranks on #Google shouldn’t get so much fanfare.
What should be celebrated is how well #natural (#organic) #traffic influenced #leads and #sales. Evaluate old and new #websitecontent to see which #pages should get the most credit. Is it the primary text on the #page or the clear call to action? Maybe they work hand in hand.
You can track all this in #GoogleAnalytics, including #conversions (ranging from completed forms to #product demos). Start by creating #goals that can be traced to natural #searchenginetraffic and other #website visitor #data.

Will #Google turn the natural search landscape upside down in 2021? It’s unlikely. Although change is inevitable, you can survive or even gain an edge with a little vigilance. But don’t expect any relief from the merciless #trend of #organicresults moving way down the #SEARCHENGINERESULTSPAGES (#SERPs). Like any good #CONTENTMARKETER, #Google is focused on the needs of its #audience – #searchers.
Fortunately, #marketers still see #traffic from #Google and other major #searchengines. #Organicsearches accounted for 53% of #websitetraffic in 2019. To help you manage your #SEO efforts this year, here are 10 QUICK-HIT #SEOTIPS and reminders. Use the #tactics and #insights that best match your #goals.
PROTECT YOUR GROUND If you have #pages that already #rank well, guard them. #TRACK THEIR #PERFORMANCE, BUT DON’T GET GREEDY AND MANIPULATE THEM TO SQUEEZE OUT MORE #RANKINGS.
CREATE NEW #CONTENT WITH #SEO IN MIND New #content – whether it’s one #page or an entire topic cluster – gives you a fresh chance to get everything right
Devote time to finding out WHETHER #GOOGLE CRAWLS YOUR #PAGES
DON’T FREEZE Too often, #marketers crank out #pages, “optimize” them, and never return. While you probably can’t do it for every #page, make time to #optimize essential #pages and any #pages close to ranking on the first #page of #Google #searchresults.
REMEMBER #QUALITY ISN’T A GUARANTEE OF #SEO SUCCESS
FIND YOUR SWEET SPOT Be #realistic with #keywordchoices. Does it make sense to go after #keywordphrases that are searched 5,000 times a month if your sweet spot shows your existing top 10 #keywords typically are searched 50 to 300 times a month?
FOCUS ON #PAGE LOAD SPEED I believe #page load speed is a nominal ranking factor (many enterprise #websitesrank well even if they don’t appear as quickly as they should).
FAVOR CLEAN, SHORT #URLS
You can help #website pages load quickly with small image file sizes. A simple compression tool is ImageOPTIM. BE SURE TO USE #KEYWORDS IN THE FILE NAME AND COMPLEMENT THEM WITH #ALTTEXT.

The #Inspectandadapt is a significant event, held at the end of each #ProgramIncrement, where the current state of the #Solution is demonstrated and evaluated by the train. after this evaluation, the teams reflect on the #backlog items and identify things to be improved, thus upholding the #agilemanifesto principle of continuous improvement and adjustment. This is additionally one of the four pillars of #SAFe. These opportunities should occur continuously throughout every #programincrement, but having additional structure and synchronization allows time to be allocated towards identifying and applying #improvements across many different teams.
All #ARTstakeholders participate along with the #AgileTeams in the I&A event. The result is a set of improvement #backlog items that go into the #ProgramBacklog for the next #PIPlanning event. in this way, every #AgileReleaseTrain improves every #PI. For #LargeSolutions, a similar I&A event is held by the #SolutionTrain. The I&A event consists of three parts:
The #PISystemDemo is there to show all the features that have been developed within the #AgileReleaseTrain over the course of the #ProgramIncrement. The audience of this demo typically includes the #customer, #portfoliorepresentatives, and more. This means the event follows a more formal pattern and requires time for preparation and staging, though still timeboxed, with an emphasis on keeping #stakeholders engaged to provide #feedback for #improvement.
During the second part of the I&A event, teams review the metrics that had been previously agreed upon to collect and discuss the data to decide upon the actions that should be taken moving forward, like realignment or improvement. The #ReleaseTrainEngineer and #SolutionTrainEngineer must prepare for this in advance by gathering the relevant information and analyzing it to ensure the data is accurate, before working on a presentation for the #ART to look over.
The teams then have a brief retrospective to identify significant issues that may have come up during the #PI, allowing time to address them, or at least come up with a plan to utilize moving forward. The #teams can provide members to develop new problem-solving teams, or existing teams can choose to tackle them. The combination of different members from existing #teams allows for a greater diversity of thought, however, and helps develop solutions faster. For addressing systemic problems, a structured, root-cause problem-solving workshop is held by the #ART. This kind of from-the-ground-up analysis of the problem allows the #ART to see what's causing the issue and gives them greater flexibility to actually solve the problem, not just the symptoms.

The #AgileManifesto states, “The most #efficient and #effective method of conveying #information to and within a #development team is a face-to-face conversation.” #PIPlanning, being a #SAFe artifact, takes this to its own #frameworks, creating large-scale #PIPlanning events that align many different teams to a shared #vision. They provide the #benefits of significant return on #investment and ensure stability in large #organizations. This kind of planning allows a way to bring teams together even when it may be difficult to align an entire #ART, instead of supporting the idea that “the people who do the work plan the work.”

In addition, the embodiment of the #principles appears throughout the #Framework. They are summarized in the following sections, and each has a full article behind the link.
Deming observed that addressing the #challenges in the #workplace and the #marketplace requires an #understanding of the #systems within which workers and users operate. Such systems are complex, and they consist of many interrelated components.
Traditional design and life cycle #practices encourage choosing a single design-and-requirements option early in the #development process.
Cadence creates predictability and provides a rhythm for #development. #Synchronization causes multiple perspectives to be understood, resolved and integrated at the same time.
Achieving fast #valuedelivery requires decentralized decision-making. This reduces delays, #improves #productdevelopment flow, enables faster feedback, and creates more innovative #solutions designed by those closest to the local knowledge. #10 – Organize around value Many #enterprises today are #organized around principles developed during the last century. In the name of intended efficiency, most are #organized around functional expertise.

If you’re deciding how to allocate your #videoadbudget, #YouTube has the vast reach and #powerfultargeting capabilities that make it an undeniably valuable #platform across the #customer journey.
Let’s take a look at the main #types of #ads on #YouTube, both #video and otherwise.
As an #advertiser, you only #pay when #viewers choose to #keepwatching past those first 5 seconds. Your #ad must be at least 12 seconds long (though somewhere under 3 minutes is recommended).
You pay when a person has #watched the first 30 seconds or the whole thing, or if they interact with your #ad by #clicking: whichever comes first.
Likewise, #B2C online education brand #MasterClass uses #skippable in-stream pre-roll #ads to #promote their #memberships. However, they run long: this one is nearly 2 minutes.
When should you do this? When you’re #aiming for a wide lift in #brandawareness, and you’re confident that your #creativity is strong enough to hold your #audience’s attention for the full 15 seconds. Note that with #nonskippableads, #advertiserspayperimpression, at #CPM.

If you’re looking for one of the #bestways to #generateleads for your #organization, look no further than #contentmarketing.
I’m going to show you 5 #effectiveways you can start #implementing today to #generateleads with #contentmarketing.
Step 1: #Create a #buyerpersona Capturing the wrong #leads is as bad as capturing no #leads. In fact, it’s probably worse because you’ll waste your #resources on a #lead that’s unlikely to be your #customer.
Therefore, when I talk about #generatingleads, I mean #generating the right #leads. And to do this, you need to specify the type of people you want as your #leads.
Step 2: #Leverage #contentsyndication Having #valuablecontent on your #company #blog can bring in many #leads for your #business. But what if you have an obscure #blog that nobody reads? Then the great #content that you’ve put a lot of effort in would massively underperform. A way out of this challenge is #contentsyndication.
What is #contentsyndication?
You get exposure for your #content and the third-party #website gets free #content they can use to satisfy their #audience. When you #syndicate your #content aimed at capturing #leads to a #website with your #idealaudience, it’s a massive opportunity to capture many more #leads.
Step 3: Provide #leadmagnets and #contentupgrades Nowadays, people are reluctant to share their #contactinformation because their inboxes are already full of junk. To capture that #lead, you have to first provide #value. And that’s the function of #lead magnets. They help to solve a problem for your #audience.
What are the characteristics of #effectivelead magnets? They #solve an immediate problem for your #audience They’re short enough to be used immediately They’re accessible immediately to your #lead They solve a specific problem
Another similar concept is the #contentupgrade. #Contentupgrades are pieces of the #content offered to a page visitor that is #relevant to the page #content. Technically, they’re #lead magnets. But They usually #generate even higher #conversions because they’re related to what the visitor is presently reading
Step 4: Improve your #landingpages When you consider that most single #landingpages are built specifically to capture #leads, then creating them without thought means you’re essentially throwing your #leads away. There are best practices you need to follow to ensure you optimize your #landingpages for high #conversion.
Step 5: Use guest #blogging to capture #leads Guest blogging is a valuable activity to improve #brandawareness and gain quality backlinks. However, one advantage that most people fail to take is capturing leads through guest posts. You may ask: how can I do that?

Longtailkeywords are longer and more specific #KEYWORD phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they’re closer to a point-of-purchase or when they're using #VOICESEARCH. They’re a little bit counter-intuitive, at first, but they can be hugely valuable if you know how to use them. Take this example: if you’re a company that sells classic furniture, the chances are that your pages are never going to appear near the top of an organic search for “furniture” because there’s too much competition. But if you specialize in, say, contemporary art-deco furniture, then #keywords like “contemporary Art Deco-influenced semi-circle lounge” are going to reliably find those consumers looking for exactly that product. managing #longtailkeywords is simply a matter of establishing better lines of communication between your business and the customers who are already out there, actively shopping for what you pr Obviously, you’re going to draw less traffic with a long-tail keyword than you would with a more common one, but the traffic you do draw will be better: more focused, more committed, and more desirous of your services. WHEN WE SAY #LONGTAIL, THINK CHINESE DRAGON The phrase “long tail” is a visual metaphor for the shape of a distribution graph. Say we were to create a graph of web-wide #keyword popularity, a very few phrases would rack up an enormous number of searches. But here’s the surprising part: those #keyword search terms, the “head” of the dragon, in reality, account for a surprisingly small percentage of all searches, about ten to fifteen per cent, depending on how you measure. Another fifteen to twenty per cent of searches come from mid-length keywords, meaning that roughly seventy per cent of page views are the direct result of long-tailed keywords. It’s a Chinese dragon: the tail goes on and on and on. FINDING QUALIFIED SEARCHERS WITH #LONGTAILKEYWORDS With shorter keywords, competition for rankings can be fierce, but visits can be scattershot and ROI can below. With the smart implementation of long-tail keywords, you may pull in less traffic, going purely by numbers, but the return on your investment will be proportionally much higher: you’ll be attracting exactly the audience you’re looking for, and that audience will be far closer to point-of-purchase than that of your less-savvy competitors. LESS COMPETITION = LOWER COSTS

Despite some #marketers using the two terms synonymously, an #SEOcontentwriter is not an #SEOcopywriter. A #copywriter and #contentwriter’s responsibilities are often misunderstood; and although there is some overlap, the two positions have clear distinctive roles. Each writing style requires a specific set of skills to resolve open projects and meet strict deadlines. The main difference comes down to the different #content types each writer produces. One role writes short content focused on #advertising and #branding while the other position composes informative posts intended to build trust and #boost engagement. As a #smallbusinessowner, you’ll need both #SEOcontent and #SEOcopywriting to successfully reach your goals.
WHAT IS #SEOCONTENT? Ultimately the goal of your marketing efforts is to attract and convert prospects into new customers. But the methods used in #SEOcontentwriting for the web is much more indirect when compared to traditional marketing assets such as telemarketing, billboards, or radio and television advertisements. #SEOcontentwriters don’t typically promote specific offers or products. Instead, they seek to build relationships with consumers or businesses by providing valuable, educational, or entertaining information from an objective viewpoint. #SEOcontent serves a variety of purposes, including: ● Increasing a #website’s #searchranking for specific keyword combinations ● #Educating the reader ● Driving clicks from Google’s search engine result pages (#SERPs) ● Encourage #qualifiedtraffic ● #Attracting high-authority #backlinks ● #Directing users to other #relatedpages on the website ● #Converting website #visitors into #buyers, #subscribers, or #leads More importantly, #SEOcontent allows #brands to develop a better rapport with customers, manage a positive #brand reputation, and boost website domain authority.
WHAT IS #SEOCOPYWRITING?
TIPS FOR BETTER #SEOCOPYWRITING Effective #SEOcopywriting attempts to persuade and motivate people to take a specific action. Use these tips to improve your copywriting technique, and enjoy more website conversions! ● Showcase #Benefits Over Features: Prospects care more about the benefits provided by the product than by the features included. ● Focus on #Emotions: When completing a sale, emotions typically influence customers to complete the desired action. ● Highlight Client #Testimonials: Leverage online testimonials to maximize credibility with customers. ● Use #SimpleLanguage: Make sure your copy isn’t too technical or too complicated for your readers. ● Create a #Feeling of #Exclusivity: Clients love to feel as though brands care about them, make prospects feel special by being part of an exclusive group. ● Prove #ProductValue: Prove the value of your product because customers want to get a good deal or feel like they’re spending their money wisely.

Now is the time to jump in and #build your #account’s popularity before the #app is flooded with other #brands and #users become overly saturated by #marketing as they have on #Instagram. Learn all about current #socialmediamarketingtrends.
Make Sure Your #Brand is #FirmlyEstablished Or at least be patient while you figure it out. #TikTok is an excellent platform where you can use short clips of video to get your brand identity in front of thousands of users. The key to communicating what your brand is all about in such a short amount of time is to have a firmly established identity. Think of your #TikTok videos like an elevator pitch for who you are as an influencer, or what your products and services represent. Your brand identity may develop as you develop your #TikTok account, but just know that your following will likely be tentative until you are confident and clear about your or your brand’s persona.
Create #QualityOriginalContent When you are confident that you have a solid identity for your brand and understand who you want to reach, it is time to start publishing videos. The trick with creating content that will be popular on #TikTok, is to keep it candid while still maintaining quality.

You invest a lot of time crafting and executing #contentmarketingstrategies in your paying gig. But when it comes to marketing yourself, what kind of investment are you making?
Are you like the barefooted shoemaker’s kid – knowing but not following your industry’s best practices to achieve personal professional success?
Now is the perfect time to change that. Whether you’re looking for a promotion or new job, or you want to pivot your role or industry, create a content marketing strategy to support your personal #brand in 2021.
What is a personal brand? Before getting into how to craft your personal #contentmarketingstrategy, it’s important to understand what a personal brand is.
“think of it as your reputation and calling card to the world. It’s a requirement in our socially connected world,” anh ngyuen said. “regardless of industry or role, your personal brand helps you connect with prospective employers, clients, customers, collaborators, and so on.”
1. Craft a #brand mission statement All good #contentmarketingstrategiesstart with understanding what the organization is about and what it wants to achieve. Thus, the first step in your personal content marketing strategy is to create a personal brand mission statement.
● Who you are
● What you do
● What you stand for
● What your unique value is
2. Write an editorial mission statement Put together your personal editorial mission statement, which connects to your #brand mission.
The best content mission statements detail three elements
● Core audience – who you aim to help (serve) with your audience
● What you’ll deliver – the kind of information you provide
● Outcome or benefit – the things your audience can do (or will know) because of your content
3. Detail your brand’s content marketing goals Your personal content marketing can help you achieve your professional goals(to get a raise, a new job, more clients, etc.), but those aren’t your #contentmarketing goals
4. Detail your target audience You know what you want, but what does your audience want?
First, describe who your audience members are. What industries do they work in? What roles or titles do they have?
Then detail their interests and behaviors. What do they want to know about? What are their pain points? Where do they live (online and/or geographically)?
Let’s say you’re a content marketing specialist for a financial services company. Your goal is to build awareness of your name and skills.
5. Identify your content sweet spot Think of a . In one circle are your personal content marketing interests. In the other circle are your audience’s interests and needs. Where the two circles overlap is your content sweet spot.

It’s fair to say the #digitalevents landscape is fast-evolving. In part, driven by the #demand to convert #offlineevents to an #onlineversion. With #accessibility to new and innovative #platforms, hosting your event #virtually is now relatively straightforward.
If you’re considering switching to an #onlineplatform or you’re keen to get to know how to host your #eventdigitally, here are three key points–complete with recommended #tools–to #guide you through putting all the pieces together.
Bonus Tip: Make Your #Event #StandOut On #Google
If you’d like your #event to really shine on #Google, you’ll need to add #structuredeventdata to your #event’s #webpages.
With the spread of the Coronavirus and the rise of #onlineevents, #Google has updated its #structuredeventdata to allow #webmasters to #communicate about #events that have been #cancelled, #postponed or even #converted from in-person to #online only.
With a great #strategy, you can turn any in-person exhibit into a #virtualevent. By #planning your #virtualevent in #advance as much as possible, getting to know the #tools and #marketing it well, you can extend your reach to new and larger #audiences that your in-person events could only dream of attracting.

This question has been pondered by link #builders for decades – and has become particularly important since #Google introduced the #Penguinalgorithm.
As #digitalmarketing undergoes a rapid transformation, link building remains extremely important. Yet, it feels like the one practice that remains stuck in the mud of the ‘old ways.’ A number of useful third-party #tools and #software can help you better understand the #SEO value of #backlinks, as well as layer additional information such as #organicsearchtraffic, #keywordrankings, and #trafficvalue.
It seems that relying solely on one #tool or misusing them can lead to poor #SEOresults and ineffective #linkbuilding There are many options when it comes to #analyzinglinks, but some of the most popular include: ● #MozPro. ● #Majestic. ● #Searchmetrics. ● #Ahrefs. ● #SEMrush. Before they start building links, many #SEO pros tend to qualify (or disqualify) a #potentiallink partner based on #Moz’s popular #DomainAuthority (#DA) #tool. #DA offers an aggregate of different onsite and offsite #SEO data to evaluate the trust of a domain using a 1-100 scale.
● What exactly makes a #highqualitylink? ● Does a #branded (but no-followed) link from a #SearchEngineJournal contribution reduce its importance? The answer does not need to be complicated. In fact, a #highqualitylink should be one that comes from a #highqualitysite. Most would agree that a young #website with consistent readership and thought leadership would be considered a great #linkplacement opportunity. Not only would you acquire additional traffic flow, but also more exposure for your #brand. Yet, young domains don’t start off with an established #DA or #TrustFlow, so would you really go out and grab it for a client? Blindly following third-party #metrics distorts our mission of actually pursuing good #marketingstrategies, like #influencermarketing, developing link-worthy #onsitecontent, or #buildinglinks on #highqualitysites that only offer no-follow attributes.
Here are some examples of link-worthy #content: ● #Casestudies ● #Infographics ● #Evergreenguides ● White papers with #originalresearch ● #Opeds ● #Interviews with celebrities, influencers, or industry thought leaders ● Q&A roundups with thought leaders in your industry ● Industry #benchmarks, #trends, and data You need to get content discovered before it can be linked back to. This involves a number of promotional strategies, such as sharing over #socialmedia, posting in forums, and direct outreach to other industry bloggers.
Influencer Marketing
SEO is competitive, which is why a poor link building campaign won’t increase your DA when other websites are outperforming yours.

Everybody wants to rank for #highvolumekeywords. Who wouldn't want a huge amount of #traffic, #conversions, and #sales from #organicsearch? But not every #business can rank for #highvolumekeywords. Those super popular #keywords are way more #competitive, which means many more #sites are competing for the limited number of spots on the first page of the #SERP. So what can you do if you're a smaller #business with a less authoritative site? Luckily, there’s a simple solution: adding long-tail, low-volume #keywords to your #SEOstrategy.
You know that the overall success of #SEO is closely related to #keywords. Many #website owners use the #traditionalkeywordstrategy for boosting their site’s rank. They aim for #highvolumekeywords, write #content, and wait to show up on the first page of #Google. This #strategy can work, but it’s time-consuming, expensive, hard—and it can often come to nothing.
You have other options for your #SEOstrategy. Instead, you can focus on targeting low-volume keywords, especially long-tail #keywords. According to #SearchEngineGuide, #Amazon gets 57% of its #sales while using the #longtailkeywords. I guess you’re about to realize why the #longtailkeywordstrategy seems to be more lucrative. With this tangible tactic, you can avoid tough #competition, and still attract #potentialcustomers.
Here are four ways to get into the heads of your #targetaudience and discover the right #lowvolumekeywords that will support your #SEOsuccess. 1. Get more out of user-generated #content and communities User-generated #contentsites and #socialcommunities are two of the most fantastic #resources to find untapped #keywords. Because this is where people are less #targeted with the #content, but they’re covering a wide range of #keyword opportunities. This is where people go #online to get answers to their questions. If you can spend just a few hours at these #sites, you will easily understand what types of topics and questions your #targetaudience is interested in.
Look to #socialmedia for conversational language When people need to get a piece of advice or recommendations, they often use #socialmedianetworks. On #socialmedia, people usually post their questions or problems using the same language they would if they were asking aloud. In order to reach your #audience, you need to know how your #customers talk about your subject, share their ideas, and interact with other #customers. To this effect, #Facebook, #Pinterest, and #LinkedIn are perfect places to uncover brilliant #lowvolumekeyword #ideas.

The #WordStreamkeywordtool allows you to #target certain #niches (groups of related #keywords), gives you further #suggestions, and also allows you to group them based off of a common theme for easy #ad group launches.
If you have multiple #channels you wish to do #keywordresearch for and want to sound like an idiot explaining the pronunciation of this #tool to your watercooler buddies, then #Soovle is a perfect fit.
Not only is it a great #keywordresearchtool to use, but it’s also a great brainstormer as you can slowly start typing in your ideas and allow it to auto-generate its own ideas.
You can even take it further by adding “bounce house ab, ac, ad” to uncover more #keywords that you could potentially bid on or use for #SEO purposes.
Unlike similar #tools, #Serpstat is a page-oriented #platform for in-depth competitive #analysis. You can find competitors and define #missingkeywords for a single URL or even entire domains. You can also view historical position data for a range of pages organized by phrase, as well as see which pages have dropped in rank and their rank distribution as a percentage, which is very handy if you want to compare data from two different time periods or observe changes over time based on algorithm updates and other factors.
Search Term/Query Reports (free-ish) Now even though you won’t be expanding your #keyword net by using search query report mining, you’ll at least be improving your Google Ads or Bing Ads account by patching up holes. One common thing I notice in #PPC accounts is the lack of attention and detail in which the account owner or previous agency allows one or a couple of keywords to be the “catch-all” for everything. The search term/query report is a #PPC report that shows you what search terms have actually triggered your ads based on the current keywords you’re bidding on. So it won’t expand your reach since your ads are already showing for those terms, but it will help you improve your quality scores and granularity within your account.
Google #Keyword Planner (free) The Google #Keyword Planner is sometimes regarded as the alpha and omega of #keyword research tools. You must have an AdWords account to access it, and that doesn’t mean you have to pay anything to use it, it’s still free. The Google #Keyword Planner will show you some pretty neat stats like average monthly searches, competition level (high, medium, or low), the average cost per click, and more. It doesn’t give you exact keyword suggestions but it actually takes it a step further and suggests more synonyms and variations than many other tools available.

Becoming an #authoritativebrand is no easy feat, but the #massive #benefits are worth the effort.
When you’ve built #authority, #potentialcustomers and #clients begin to count on you and trust you and it’s hard to imagine that trust not leading to a #sale (at some point).
But how exactly can a #brand begin to build, or build upon, their #authority? #Content is an excellent way, and in this article, I’ll go through my #tips on how it can be done.
Answer your #audience’s questions
Create #newsworthy reports and studies
Highlight #reviews, #casestudies, and other proof of expertise
Associate with other #authoritativebrands
Give away some of your secrets
Conclusion:
The very act of investing in #contentmarketing is a big step in building more #brandauthority. By creating #content that’s #beneficial for your #audience, you’re demonstrating your own knowledge and utilizing your expertise.
By continuing to build on your #strategy with the above tactics, you can greatly improve the chances your #audience will not only remember your #brand but begin to trust your #brand. Additionally, It’s likely the #Googlealgorithm will recognize your authority, as well, especially after building an impressive #linkportfolio, and your results will rise in the #SERP ranks.

Just like Batman's tool belt, a #social media marketer's toolbox is equally important. Neither fight crime or publish tweets without it. Since #social media barged its way into our lives there have been thousands of #social media tools released into the wild. While you may have started with a simple tool like Hootsuite to manage your social channels, there are now an overwhelming number of choices. A quick search tells me there are over 200 apps on the Google Play Store alone to help you repost photos on Instagram. With so many options, how can you determine what tools are the absolute best? Thankfully we've experienced the same problem. Overtime and through plenty of trial and error we've figured out what tools actually make an impact. We use these tools for ourselves and recommend them to others who need help. Here is our list of the 15 best #social media tools for #social media #marketers.

Volatility, the V of #VUCA, references the idea that change is nearly impossible to predict, being wild and almost spontaneous. It is a reminder to accept change as a fact of life in an organization, and simply another part of the environment around it. This encourages a clear vision of the future, with flexible goalposts towards it, so it can be adjusted when there are, inevitably, changes in the #market.
Uncertainty, the U of #VUCA, is the idea that the present time isn't clear, and what happens in the future can never be certain. It reminds individuals and organizations to constantly review their performance, learning from mistakes, so their performance is not a factor in the uncertainty. It enables the idea of experimentation, testing how situations play out, with data and listening skills being the backbone of this prediction.
Complexity, the C of #VUCA, is the idea of multiple, complex factors play into the loss of focus and muddling of situations. This is a reminder to have clear, concise communication within an organization, especially during complicated situations where members of a team might become stressed or overwhelmed. It encourages the organization to develop teams around the idea of #VUCA, creating them so they can work efficiently, even when things around them might be chaotic.
Ambiguity, the A of #VUCA, is the idea that there is a lack of clarity or awareness about situations as they occur. It enables organizations to embrace a culture of creativity and #agility during times of uncertainty. Keeping this in mind allows organizations to give room to alter their plans as things change and the environment becomes different than before.

WHAT IS #OKR?
Objectives and Key Results. #OKR is a framework-- not an #Agile framework-- but a framework for setting and achieving goals. It's a collaborative process, a powerful tool used by many to achieve desired results.
First, defining Objectives in the context of #OKR. Objectives are pretty simple-- it's what needs to be done. They need to be clear, firm, and be something you feel motivated to work towards. The importance of a proper Objective-- one that's both communicated efficiently and created effectively-- is paramount to completing it.
Key Results are the second half of #OKR, and are a little more complicated. They're ways to measure progress in a way that's verifiable and clear-cut. They're steps along the way to meeting an Objective and built with realism in mind, not idealism.
What are the benefits of #OKR? #OKR is fast and simple. It's easy to #implement and it works almost universally, being a flexible way of tracking what needs to be done. It allows for an alignment in an organization-- a clear vision and path to be followed. Due to the simplistic nature of #OKR, goals can be set quickly, as a once-and-done approach that takes little manpower. It promotes transparency and concise communication because everyone knows what to work towards. Finally, it ensures discipline. When someone knows exactly what to meet, clear cut and dry, it can help alleviate procrastination and half-finished work, ensuring accountability in the workplace.

What is the #SAFe® #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline?
One of the key elements of #SAFe, or the #ScaledAgileFramework, is the #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline. It represents the #workflows, #activities, and #automation needed to bring a piece of #functionality from its #formation in the mind's eye, to a fully-featured, working piece of a #product. The #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline is a sort of map, detailing the journey through an #AgileReleaseTrain.
The different parts of the #CDP are this:
There are many ways the #CDP is beneficial to #organizations. #CDP allows #organizations to continuously #improve, #cultivating #internalfeedbackloops that drive greater quality, by way of mapping out their #deliverypipeline into a new #structure. The structure utilized by the #CDP is different than that of #traditionalstructures-- down to the way #releases are #delivered.

As a #realestate #professional, you want to grow your #business, and #marketing plays a large role in attracting and retaining, #clients. Nearly all people purchasing homes do so through #realestate #agents. There’s no doubt that #realestate is a huge #market-- and because of this, there has been a huge boom in #realestate #marketing ideas in the past few years. Technology is encroaching and changing the face of #marketing for #realestate. A growth mindset is a huge contributor to developing new #marketingstrategies, but knowing where to start is also very important. We’ve compiled some real estate specific tips that can help you grow your brand.
Create a #website Creating a #website is common across all #businesses entering the #digital world. Having one place for potential #clients to assess your #business, learn more about it, and find out how to contact you, is incredibly important, especially in our increasingly #online world. Include housing listings on your #site and update them regularly, so that potential #clients who view your site keep coming back and drumming up greater #traffic. This can assist in #SEO, a way your #website uses to appear on #searchengines.
Don’t forget your location Utilize connections in your area. You’ve likely helped many #businesses and people into new spaces they now call home. Use the connections you’ve built in your area to #market, whether physically, through local businesses and attractions, and more. This doesn’t just have to be physical, though-- local people see your #business through #Google, as well, so be sure to keep the information there updated and relevant, and strive for positive user reviews.
Seek out new ways of capturing your properties. Things like drones, interactive virtual tours, and more can assist in letting more people see the properties listed. If you don’t have a drone or a method for interactive tours, there are many services that can do that for you, so that your #customers can decide their perfect house, just through their phone or laptop, allowing you more time to reach new #customers over walking place to place with #clients who haven’t been able to see the locations before.
Create a Zillow profile Zillow is an immensely popular #realestate #website with millions of monthly viewers and thousands of listings all over the U.S. It opens tons of new prospects and allows you to reach more people tailored specifically to what they need in a property. It’s an easy way of achieving a huge audience, and more importantly, connecting with new #clients. If Zillow is not available to you, there are many, many other #realestate #websites that are country-specific with large user bases you can utilize.

When you're moving to an #Agile way of working, it's difficult to #adapt. It not only requires a complete #overhaul of your #workflow, but also a total #mindset shift. This can be stressful and very difficult to #accomplish, as it builds new #methods for work from the ground up. This is precisely the reason there are #facilitators-- to help adjust a team into #Agile. You may be wondering, though, what are two of the most #commonhurdles when transitioning to #Agile?
Old habits die hard. It's a well-known fact that #habits are hard to break, and it feels like it's always the worst #habits that pose a #realstruggle. Employees get comfortable with their old way of #working, whether they realize it or not, and very often have trouble letting go in favor of a new way. It gets even harder when they're cognizant of this and actively refuse to learn a new way of #working. In this case, it's important for them to be reminded of the #goals of the #Agile #transition and the eventual #benefits.
Unclear #goals and benefits. As a general rule of #Agile, it's required that there is open and clear #communication with everyone involved. When moving to #Agile, it should be made clear to everyone why the move to #Agile is occurring. Many #team members may not know why the change is needed and can adapt easier once they know the benefits of the move. In addition, if the #team knows the #goals to work towards, they can set a trajectory for themselves towards where they want to be.

Firstly, make sure you're #acknowledging #team members for the work they do. Many times, a worker or #team member can feel unappreciated, especially during this #virtualage where #team members may be #working from home. Allow equal time so every #team member is equally given #acknowledgment-- as well as the all-#important #constructivecriticism.
Secondly, keep your #standup from being inconvenient. Nobody likes to be pulled from work as they start to #develop a flow. It can not only frustrate them but also decrease #efficiency as they have to find their flow after several minutes of #standup. Keep in mind scheduling for the #team members, and what works mutually, or at least the next best thing. Keep it consistent, so they can form their #schedule with it.
Lastly, make it a #conversation. Don't talk to the #team, invite a #discussion about the work, and #encourage #participation from everyone, while #facilitating properly so the #discussion does not go on too long or draw away from the central points. #StandUps should be straight to the point, yes, but keep it from being static. It should be #engaging and #refreshing.

Agile Product Delivery Agile Product Delivery is a customer-centric approach to defining, building, and releasing a continuous flow of valuable products and services to customers and users.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why Agile Product Delivery? In order to achieve Business Agility, enterprises must rapidly increase their ability to deliver innovative products and services. To be sure that the enterprise is creating the right solutions for the right customers at the right time, they must balance their execution focus with a customer focus. These capabilities are mutually supportive and create opportunities for sustained market and service leadership.
Three Dimensions of agile product delivery
Customer Centricity and Design Thinking – Customer centricity puts the customer at the center of every decision and uses design thinking to ensure the solution is desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable.
Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand – Developing on cadence helps manage the variability inherent in product development. Decoupling the release of value assures customers can get what they need when they need it.
DevOps and the Continuous Delivery Pipeline – DevOps and the Continuous Delivery Pipeline creates the foundation that enables Enterprises to release value, in whole or in part, at any time to meet customer and market demand.

You know you have amazing #content, but how do you drive trafficto it? How do you amplify its reach?
I interviewed several top B2B marketers to see how they’re doing it, and learned it starts before the content is created and doesn’t end when you hit “publish.”
1. Be your #content’s PR team The sheer amount of content getting shared online is one of the biggest distribution hurdles marketers face. As Perri Robinson, head of #marketing at Meltwater, says, “No matter how good (your content) is, it matters how you are distributing it.”
2. Advertise your best #content If you’ve got the budget, the fastest way to drive instant traffic to your #content is more likely through paid social media, from promoted posts on Twitter to ads on Facebook. For the biggest effect, you need to spend wisely.
3. Own an industry topic David Fallarme, head of marketing at HubSpot, advocates doubling down on a singular topic. Which topic? “Let your personas drive your target ‘topic clusters’ based on search volume estimates and competitiveness of those clusters,” he says.
4. Curate into multiple formats A blog article is good. But using the same research and insight included in the blog article in other formats offers more opportunities for your audience to see and engage with your #content.
Video is a good example of this. Repurpose your highest performing blog #content into high-quality videos. Post them to channels like YouTube, optimizing for relevant keywords to ensure maximum exposure.
5. Trigger your #content
Triggering could happen through dynamic #content modules on your site, promoting #content to those who need it the most, or through emails, tailoring content to people who have expressed an interest or to a persona or industry sub-segment.
Grow your #content’s reach As you expand your view of how to get more from your #content – and how to get more people to see or view your content – think about your content as an agency does its clients. What can you do to make sure your client gets the recognition it deserves from the right audiences?
Your solution can involve thinking more about how to use public relations and advertising, but it also can include identifying a topic to own, automating triggers, and using the content in multiple formats.

Fun fact Neuroimaging shows that when evaluating brands, consumers primarily use emotions rather than factual information. This is as true for brand-created content as it is for traditional advertising spots and banners.
We can see the power of emotional content at work in #marketing that went viral. Nike’s What Are Girls Made of?, and Apple’s Misunderstood campaigns both spring to mind.
But we’ve also seen how emotional content can go terribly awry. For content creators, using emotion can be an incredibly powerful #engagement tactic, but we must use it artfully. Let’s explore the science of emotion and how we can use it in an empathetic way to create more meaningful content.
Emotional #engagement is affected by scientific principles that directly impact content creation. Here are four key areas:
● Design
● Color
● Images
● Branding
Design Designs often fall into patterns of sameness around the latest trends. However, designs that evoke the greatest emotional response tend to involve something out of the norm. Elements of surprise can prevent your content from being filtered out by Broca’s area in the brain.
Additionally, introducing schema incongruity – information conflicting with an established schema – has the potential to increase interest, memorability, and persuasiveness in consumers.
Color Color can have a powerful impact on a viewer’s emotional response. Studies show visuals in color can increase people’s willingness to read a piece of content by 80%. Using specific colors can have a significant impact on mood; for example, red evokes strong emotions, while yellow can foster happy feelings, and blue creates a calm, trustworthy atmosphere.
Coca-Cola consistently uses red as its brand color. Red not only evokes a strong emotional response, it cultivates a positive, friendly energy that makes consumers want to participate.
Images A large body of research confirms the emotional power of visuals — Visual Teaching Alliance quotes David Hyerle’s field guide that says 90% of all information transmitted to the brain is visual. Images also evoke emotional responses. For example, photos of people have been shown to increase empathy, and photos of babies tend to be more engaging than other types of imagery.
In one case study, a South African financial institution sent 50,000 direct-mail pieces featuring an image of a person. In some, the person was the same gender as the recipient; in other cases, the person in the photo was the opposite gender. For male customers, using a photo of a female in the offer letter significantly increased response; the effect had about as much impact as if the bank offered a drop in the interest rate by 4.5 percentage points.
Art of emotion Knowing the science that impacts our audience’s emotional response is useful. However, it takes an artful approach to turn this science into impactful, engaging content. It’s all too easy for brands to misuse psychological levers in an attempt to make an impact on viewers or readers.
As content creators, how do we walk the line between good emotional #engagement and audience manipulation? It takes empathy, continuous refinement, and above all, a relevant story.
Emotion is the key to driving strong engagement with your content. Using the #science of emotional resonance and the #art of creativity, you can design stories that appeal to your audience in a meaningful, real way. These stories will inspire members of your audience to share and will keep them coming back for more.

What should you be posting on #Instagram #Stories in 2021?
1. USE HIGHLIGHTS TO DRIVE TRAFFIC When new users land on your #Instagram profile, they may not yet know who you are. You’ve probably heard a million times before how important it is to have a great #Insta bio that catches the eye, quickly explains what your business does, and convinces new visitors to click that follow button. With the Highlights feature, the bio section is a place not only where you tell the brand story but a place to convert visitors.
Think of Highlights as a short promo trailer for your business, and it becomes a perfect opportunity to show what your brand is all about, give a sense of what your product offers, and generate direct traffic to your sales .
2. ASK FOR TAKEOVERS Collaboration with INFLUENCERS is an ever-growing #Instagram trend. Still, many brands execute it by paying for a few sponsored posts on an influencer’s feed, crossing their fingers, and praying for some new followers to come through the tag mention.
In a Stories takeover, an influencer of choice takes over the brand account for, say, a day, to produce exclusive content. It used to be popular but somehow isn’t that trendy anymore. That’s a pity because there are so many benefits to doing Stories’ takeovers: cross-directing #followers, creating exclusive content for your #followers, networking with relevant influencers, etc.
3. TAKE POLLS AND QUIZZES While polls are a great tool to engage your audience, you also can use them for AUDIENCE RESEARCH. Instead of asking something for pure entertainment, find out what kind of content your followers want to see on the account.
For instance, if your account focuses on TRAVEL, ask about destinations your audience wants to see. Their responses may surprise you. But either way, you’ll learn if you should share more about that destination or not.
4. SHOUTOUTS TO COMPETITORS Highly competitive and the fastest growing platform, Instagram was touted as “all about community,” but the harsh reality was few people really wanted to help anybody. Brands wanting to be featured usually need to pay for every single mention, every single shoutout.
That’s precisely why helping each other out can be a useful change of mindset (from competitors to friends).
Giving shoutouts on Stories to another user or urging your #followers to follow somebody else might seem like suicide. Still, it builds relationships on social media – you shout out to someone, hoping to get a shout back.
5. USE UNIQUE TEMPLATES Last but not least: Use questionnaire templates. They stand out, engage your audience, and are great to entice followers with cool freebies. It’s easy to create them online. It’s even better to create custom templates – and let your #followers screenshot them.

Social media can be a tough nut to crack. The rules, opportunities, audiences, and value propositions vary greatly from one channel to another – and can shift gears without notice.
The one thing to conquer those #socialmedia concerns is a channel plan – an advanced directive for how your brand manages its #content on these evolving platforms. It also spells out what you should (and shouldn’t) expect to achieve.
THINK PRECISION Many brands mistakenly assume they must DISTRIBUTE CONTENT anywhere and everywhere to maximize its reach. But plastering your brand’s content across every #socialnetwork, trendy news site, and video platform is not a channel plan. It holds no regard for whom it reaches, how they might be impacted, or how that impact might reflect on the business.
Make informed decisions The channel-planning process involves three steps: (1) understanding the platform’s value proposition, (2) creating your brand’s use case for engagement, and (3) ensuring everyone on your team works from the same set of guidelines. Let’s look closer at each one.
it’s important to familiarize yourself with the characteristics of each channel and its corresponding community before joining the conversation.
who uses this channel and what are they using it for?
will it help us meet our objectives?
what results do we want to achieve?
what kinds of content work best on this platform?
make your brand the life of the social media party no matter how far and wide your business intends to extend its reach, successful #content marketing distribution often comes down to having a strategic, systematic, and scalable approach. this model ensures that everyone works from the same social media blueprint, but it’s not the only way to get the job done.

When you think of search engines, it’s usually Google, Microsoft Bing, and Yahoo. And yet, as one of the largest search engines in the world, with more than 2 billion monthly active users, is YouTube. Most people consider YouTube as a social media platform, which it is, but it also behaves a lot like a traditional search engine. Visitors enter their query and get a list of videos ranked by relevance. That’s why optimizing #video content is critical to #ranking and accessing the audience on YouTube. Fortunately, a lot of the traditional SEO rules apply here as well. Find the right keywords to communicate relevance, design a good user experience to drive engagement, and use #analytics to find and fix whatever is not working. With that said, here’s a rundown of tools to help you manage your YouTube SEO. Some are your general, run-of-the-mill SEO tools. Others are designed specifically for YouTube. But every single one is useful for growing your YouTube presence. Look up topics in Google Trends Turn to Google Trends to see whether interest in your chosen topic is up or down. While you may be familiar with the overall Google Trends feature, click on “YouTube Search” to explore the video-related opportunities. Given that the data is coming from Google (which owns YouTube), it’s as trustworthy as it gets. Identify the best #keywords To get your video content found, use the right #keywords in your title, description, and tags. The first place to look for the right #keywords is YouTube’s autocomplete feature – start typing your seed keyword into the search bar and see how YouTube interprets it by showing autocomplete suggestions If you have a bunch of keywords, you can automate the process with the help of a specialized keyword research tool. You can turn to the Keyword Planner section of your Google Ads account and enter your seed keywords to get a bunch of closely related keywords. One downside with a free account is that you do not get the exact search volumes for your keywords, just approximations. Research the most profitable tags Tags are added to YouTube videos by creators, and they help YouTube place the videos into proper categories. The problem is tags are not displayed on tvideo’s page, so researching them is a hassle. You can either open the source code of the page and look for tags there or install a browser extension that will do the job for you. Manage and audit your channel Always keeping an eye on your successes and failures is a natural necessity. Knowing which videos are working for your brand – and which ones aren’t – can help you understand the effect of your keywords and inform future opportunities. YouTube #Analytics (YouTube’s native tool) provides an overview of your channel. It’s accessible through your channel’s dashboard. It tells you who your audience is and what other stuff they enjoy watching. You can see the timeline of views/engagement with your audience as well. It’s made for people who already have a number of videos and want to survey their success. Moderate your comment section Though you may not think of the comments section as an SEO factor, it can have an indirect effect on your #rankings. Comments can make or break your YouTube channel. Sometimes the comments under the most innocuous, helpful videos could be so bad, that it’ll harm a brand in a very real way.
The YouTube comment moderation feature is probably the best tool for this task. You can add filters to automatically deal with inappropriate commenters and create a list of forbidden words to quarantine comments incorporating them.

As a #content marketer, your job is to use content to sell something – a product, service, or message. Maybe you already drive sufficient conversions. But do you really want to settle for sufficient?
You can do better and improve your #content #marketing to double or even triple your conversion rates. Today, let’s focus on how to do that with the most important aspect of #content #marketing – your content. Here are five ways to create engaging #content to boost your conversions.
1. Write a killer headline Your headline is the first thing readers notice about your blog post or landing page content. Whether or not the headline captivates them likely determines if they continue reading the content or bounce from the page.
Although different variations of headlines work, there are some common elements in successful headlines.
Recently, Auriane Alix shared some of the commonalities she found when analyzing Medium headlines. They are similar to some of the findings by HubSpot and Outbrain, which studied 150,000 article headlines in 2013. Among the high-performance qualities:
● Headlines with seven words
● Numbers in the headline
● First word features what, why, how, or how (setting expectations) or
● First word features the or this (indicating specificity)
You can use these common characteristics of successful headlines as the foundation for writing killer headlines that convert. Clearly explain what the content is about in a few words, and if it needs a little bit more detail, include a short explainer after a colon or hyphen.
2. Intrigue readers with your intro Your headline should attract readers. Your introshould intrigue them enough to make them stay. It should make them want to read more. In other words, your headline is the bait, and your intro is the hook. Wouldn’t it be great if your intro were a hook for search engines as well?
3. Don’t forget to add visuals Adding visual elements to your text can make a huge difference in performance. It attracts and engages your readers while adding more substance. It also is an excellent way to break up longer pieces of text, making the content easier to scan and understand. What makes the best kinds of visuals largely depends on the type of content you’re creating. These five types can help you increase conversions:
Original graphics Charts and graphs
Screenshots Infographics Videos 4. Use an easy-to-read format Another factor that influences your content’s ability to convert is the format. Writing about useful tips and information in huge chunks of text doesn’t make it easy for people to read and process. That delivery method can hurt your conversion rate because people don’t want to have to work hard to glean the details.
To make your #content more reader friendly:
● Break up blocks of text into shorter paragraphs. Don’t create paragraphs of more than five or six lines.
● Use bullet points wherever applicable to highlight key points.
● Add other elements like visuals to illustrate your points and break up text blocks.
● Include subheads whenever appropriate to make your #content easier to read.
5. Create a compelling CTA Your call to action should convince people to take a desired action. Maybe your CTA is at the end of a blog post, urging people to subscribe to your newsletter or download your latest e-book. Or maybe it’s a CTA on your landing page for a product or service. Even your video #content needs a CTA to drive conversions. Wherever it is used, make sure the CTA is compelling.

Your #email #newsletter database is valuable. After all, these people signed up to receive your content. They must be eager to consume it, right?
And yet, the average #email open rate in 2020 was 18%. That means less than one of every five subscribers you’ve earned looks at the content you send.
Some daily -#newsletter brands have found better success. Morning Brew, theSkimm, and The Hustle have risen to the top of the newsletter game with open rates approaching 50% and subscriber totals that make the rest of us green with envy.
What does it take to get people who’ve already expressed an interest in your brand’s content to open and (hopefully) read it? Here are some lessons content marketers can learn from these #email #newsletter successes.
1. DON’T REQUIRE A CLICK
2. CRAFT CUSTOM SUBJECT LINES – AND BE CONSISTENT 3. GIVE CREDIT TO YOUR VOICES
4. LET READERS HAVE SOME FUN 5. ASK WHAT YOUR READERS THINK 6. TURN YOUR #email AUDIENCE INTO INFLUENCERS

How many times a day does your phone ding to notify you someone is “live?” As I sat down to write this article, I found myself struggling to resist the siren of six #livestream notifications. Data science. Goat farming. Cybersecurity trends. Parenting girls. Fast-growth companies. Creating better PowerPoint slides. There’s a #livestream for everything that interests me (and probably everything that interests you, too).
What’s behind the surge? It’s easy to understand why the streaming of live video is now like a flood. #Livestreams are relatively inexpensive and easy to produce. The tap of a button on a mobile device is all it takes to go live on multiple platforms at once. Among its biggest benefits are the human connections enabled, requiring relatively few new skills required. As we all participated in or led more video calls during the pandemic, our comfort level in front of a camera has risen. The pandemic changed #livestreams’ course Before the COVID-19 pandemic drove many people to work from home, #livestreaming often occurred as an add-on to in-person events. And it often came with a high production value. A Louis Vuitton livestream presentation of a collection at the Louvre attracted thousands of viewers. A LinkedIn Live with Marketers talk show on the expo hall floor of Content Marketing World gave those who couldn’t enjoy the content in person a peek at what they were missing. But during the pandemic, #livestreaming became the source of personal connection and interaction with audiences – without all the high-production fuss. Standing out takes strategic thinking The downstream effect of all this creative #livestreaming activity: The competition for attention is fierce. But marketers still can stand out in the stream with the right strategy. Dorie Clark, strategy consultant and executive coach who teaches at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, hosts a popular show called Better for Newsweek on LinkedIn Live. Dorie’s professorial experience helped her set an effortlessly educational yet conversational tone for the interviews with business leaders on topics that help entrepreneurs and other professionals boost their skills.
Let it flow on more than one platform Christoph Trappe, author of Going Live: Livestream Your Podcast to Reach More People, turned his Business Storytelling Podcast into a livestream and goes live several times per week on multiple channels. He believes # livestreaming is “way more authentic” than scripted video and advises streamers to keep things candid and conversational. “If you’re going to read a script on the #livestream, just email it to me,” he jokes. Initially, Twitter performed best for Christoph, leading to hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of views per episode. But when he added Amazon Live to the mix he started routinely seeing 1,000 to 4,000 viewers per #livestream episode.

Billions of emails are sent every year. Despite the rise of social media and other messaging channels, email marketing is still on the rise. For businesses that want to attract and retain customers, email marketing campaigns are crucial. In fact, 81% of small businesses rely on email as their primary customer acquisition channel, and 80% for retention.
With these facts and figures in mind, it’s easy to see the relevance of email marketing across all industries today. Before you hit send, read through these seven tips to help you ensure that your brand is putting its best foot forward when that campaign email lands in your audiences’ inboxes.
1. Set goals that are smart The first step in starting any campaign is to identify your brand’s goals. Each email you send, each tagline you develop, should result in an end goal that can be measured and tracked over time. With email marketing, it’s important to apply the “smart” goals strategy for every campaign you commit to.
2. Create a targeted email list In order to reach the right set of people for your brand,you need to make sure you know your audience and that you are utilizing a targeted email list. Creating a targeted email list allows you to collect information on your audience and create segments based on metrics like geographic location, demographics, interests, and more.
3. Think about your email sender name and subject lines Some of the simplest features of your email hold the most importance and value when it comes to your campaign’s success rate. For starters, your email sender name is especially significant because it’s what catches your reader’s attention. It is often the first thing people consider when deciding to open an email
4. Feature interesting and relevant content When it comes to email copy, be sure to keep things simple and straightforward. Get to the point and draw your audience in with personalized content that includes eye-catching images and ends with an effective call-to-action
5. Try out different layouts and formatting strategies Once you’ve determined what content you will feature in your email marketing campaign, take the time to play around with different layouts and formatting strategies for your messages
6. Be aware of email marketing regulations and compliance requirements When considering email marketing as an outreach tactic, it’s important to understand the rules and regulations that can turn your company’s innocent approach into a legal nightmare if not obeyed.the can-spam act sets regulations for commercial messages, as well as gives email recipients the right to unsubscribe. The last thing you want to deal with is the potential fines your business can face by failing to follow the compliance terms of the can-spam act.
7. Use data and analytics insights to track your progress Sending your email is not the final step in the journey of your email marketing campaign. Once you’ve secured a target audience and created a message full of interesting and engaging content, the next step is to test and track every aspect of your email marketing campaign so that you can gain helpful insights based on real data and analytics.

Many content marketers, though, find link-buildingto be a challenging task. If you fall into that category or are just looking for a refresher on legitimate link-building tactics, I’ve got you covered.
3 types of links First, let’s look at the three categories of legitimate links:
● #Backlink: An external website links back to one of your content assets (i.e., blog post, infographic) or your general site.
● Internal link: One page on your site includes a link to another page on your site. (Internal links are not as valuable as external links, but they help Google understand your site’s structure, which can be helpful for #SEO. They also are crucial for on-site engagement and decreased bounce rates.)
● External link: A page on your site includes a link to a relevant third-party site. (In the fledgling years of #backlinking, relevancy didn’t matter, but it does now.) Your external links count as #backlinks for third-party sites.
Follow vs. no-follow Not all links are created equal. Just like internal and external links have different effects, follow and no-follow links connect to external content but are wildly different in terms of what they do for your #SEO.
● Follow links are legitimate external or internal links to your website – exactly what you want in your backlinking efforts.
● No-follow links are applied on the back end with the code, rel=“nofollow”. You can see it in the linking URL. That little piece of code tells search engines not to follow the link – meaning that the linked page won’t receive any direct benefits from this link.
Why would a website use no-follow links?
● Untrusted content: Most no-follow links are designed to protect the publishing website. For example, it’s common practice on sites where the comments section allows users to post links because those links could connect to spammy or abusive content, which the site doesn’t support.
● Links that don’t need to be crawled: As Google crawls (indexes) your site, it evaluates the following links. If your site includes links to pages that have nothing to do with search (think password-protected sections), you don’t want Google to waste its limited time crawling those pages. A no-follow is important to include.
● Paid links: Google and other search engines go a long way to ensure that #SEO isn’t a pay-to-play game. Thus, if a site is paid to include a link, the link should be classified as no-follow.

What is content repurposing? By repurposing content, you refresh, transform, or recycle existing #content. It works with a lot of formats: ads, blogs, data visualizations, infographics, videos, webinars, etc. Successful repurposing requires some imagination and practice, but it usually isn’t as labor- Intensive as the original creation.
It also can save time and energy because you aren’t creating the content from scratch. However, you need to invest some time to develop a set of criteria to transform existing content for different channels.
What are the repurposing criteria? Repurposing is not something you can wing, at least if you want to do it successfully. Here’s what you should decide: ● Determine your goals ● Detail your channels ● Identify content repurposing criteria Once you have your criteria, you can plan how to #repurpose content and reach new audiences. What are some #content repurposing options? I’ll walk you through some of the top ways to transform posts and videos, along with some content repurposing examples for inspiration. 1. Blog posts Blog posts often present good repurposing opportunities. It works well for high-performing posts with outdated content or old SEO targets. You can repurpose them with minimal updates of data, news, and best practices. 2. E-books and white papers Speaking of combining blog posts, e-books, and white papers are great for repurposed #content and lead generation By hosting all the content on the topic in a single format, your audience doesn’t need to look elsewhere. It’s a helpful tool to generate leads. But if you gate the content, make sure to offer additional value, not just a repackaging of free #content. You also may even want to sell it to expose it to a wider audience searching for books on the topic. 3. Infographics You don’t have to limit your repurposing to text-based transformations. Since my company is about data visualization, we often turn text-based #content into infographics. It appeals to a visually-oriented audience. The key to repurposing content into an infographic is knowing what to keep and what not to. Headers become sections of the infographics. Text gets condensed into bullet points or icons. 4. Newsletters Yes, you can send a roundup of your latest blog posts, but that probably isn’t enough to keep your email recipients engaged with your brand. Instead, #repurpose existing #content to send them a more tailored email. 5. Presentations Boring slide decks are commonplace. But you can jazz up a presentation by repurposing #content. Already have charts and graphs for a blog or social media on the topic? Use them in your presentation to recap or illustrate important stats. 6. Social media posts There are so many possibilities when it comes to repurposing content for social media. It must be visual and have a good story to stop the scrollers. A tweet can become a screenshot on Instagram. A quote in a blog post could become a standalone Facebook post. A screencast of a post on one channel can become a Facebook story or Instagram story, on Twitter Fleets, Snapchat, or TikTok. 7. Video Repurposing a video can take a bit more work because of the audio/ visual component, but the reach is worth it. Existing videos can be transformed into short videos for social media posts and ads. These mini-videos also can be shared in a series of emails. Videos make for great GIFs to share on Twitter or within blog posts.

HOW TO ALIGN CONTENT MARKETING AND BUSINESS GOALS Instead of setting something like brand awareness as THE goal, think of it as one step toward a #business goal.
And what’s the business goal of #contentmarketing? To drive profitable action.
What counts as a profitable action? Let’s explore.
To be useful (and measurable), content marketing goals must be specific – and match a meaningful #business goal your company is working toward.
Businesses care about three things:
Sales
Savings
customer LOYALTY, retention, and cross-sales
Choose goals that support one of those three things and you should have no problem communicating how #contentmarketing contributed to the business goals.
Here are several business-related possibilities to consider when setting your content marketing goals.
SUBSCRIBERS Building a subscribed audience is the basis of #content marketing. Subscribers give you permission to communicate with them regularly. And that gives you permission to subtly market to them while giving them value outside of your company’s products or services. The business asset created by #content marketing isn’t content, it’s the audience.
WHEN IT MAKES SENSE: Make a subscriber-related goal when your business wants to penetrate a new market, compete with a high-profile market leader, or BEGIN THE #CONTENT MARKETING JOURNEY.
PROFITABLE ACTIONS TO TRACK:Measure progress by the number of subscribers to an owned channel (email newsletter, blog alerts, magazine, podcast, etc.) or the subscriber conversion rate compared with general audience conversion rate.
LEADS GREAT CONTENT can encourage consumers to become prospects by signing up for a demo, registering for an event, or requesting access to a resource center. (In some organizations, a lead could be defined as a contact.) Unlike subscribers, leads provide more than an email address. They trade more information about themselves because they see value in the CONTENT OFFER.
CAVEAT: Some leads aren’t really leads. These contacts might have wanted the piece of content, but they may not want to hear from your brand again or aren’t that interested in your product or service now. Consider getting these not-really leads to OPT-IN as subscribers because they may become more valuable over time.
When it makes sense: Focus on lead-related goals if your business sees #content marketing as a tool for the SALES TEAM – to help find or qualify new prospects or to help nurture leads through the funnel.
PROFITABLE ACTIONS TO TRACK: Measure content’s impact with form and LANDING PAGE conversion rates, downloads, and percentage of marketing- and sales-qualified leads.

Yet, hard doesn’t mean impossible. Here are a few definitive steps to start seeing higher converting traffic from your #Instagram channel: 1. Create eye-catching content While content quality is crucial for any tactic, it’s actually fundamental for# Instagram. You want people to stop scrolling when they see your update – otherwise, nothing else that you do to get clicks matters. You need “scroll-stopping” content – eye-catching enough for people to pause from scrolling their feeds to see your post and read your caption. Like all good content, its creation involves a lot of brainstorming, competitive analysis, and experimenting. #Instagram content also requires you to improve your image and video editing skills. Trying new visual content creation and editing apps could make all the difference. 2. Use your CTA in the caption The good old conversion rate optimization (CRO) rule here works: Most people won’t think to do something unless invited. This guideline is especially true for# Instagram, where people are used to scrolling and liking, not looking for links to click. So don’t forget to invite your followers to “click a link in the bio” but make it natural and meaningful. You don’t need to do a CTA for each and every #Instagram update. If you are updating your channel daily, invite some clicks once a week. 3. Get your #Instagram content featured Other users featuring your content won’t bring direct links, but it will get clicks to your profile page, including your link. Chances are many of those profile visitors will be curious enough to click your link. You may want to craft your bio in a way to prompts curiosity and invites a click to generate more traffic. To get your content featured more on #Instagram, spend time to get to know your following and build your community. In any niche, there are #Instagram accounts curating creative images and videos through unique hashtags. They repost selected #Instagram updates that use those hashtags. To identify those content curators and target them regularly, know those accounts and hashtags. 4. Create clickable stories Apart from the bio link, #Instagram stories are the only place where you can add clicks. To qualify for clickable stories, you need to: Have at least 10,000 followers Verify your #Instagram account Once you qualify, you will see an option to add a URL when you add a new story. Clickable stories take viewers directly to your link once they tap it or slide up. 5. Optimize the landing page for #Instagram users Finally, an often missed step in any traffic-generating strategy is, surprisingly, optimizing that traffic for conversions. Here are a few ways to make the most of your #Instagram traffic: Mobile devices Obviously, most #Instagram users are using the app, so expect most of your #Instagram traffic to come from mobile devices. Make sure your landing page looks good on a mobile device and loads fast too. 5-second test
The test helps you understand whether your page is easy to understand and whether your selling points and CTAs are attention-grabbing. Another good idea is to run a heatmap test on your page to visualize where people look and click once they land on it. Several great tools and plugins allow you to run these kinds of tests. Carefully crafted CTAs At the end of the day, you really need that Ins#tagram traffic to convert. Make sure to know what you want your users to do on that page, and make sure the CTAs match your #Instagram content. If you invite them to click a link for a free downl

1.start with an awesome intro The first step is to hook your audience. Grab their attention in a flash- that’s what google
Deliver on the promise For visitors who stumble upon your video seeing only the title and thumbnail, make sure to provide at least some of what they expect in the beginning.
2. Break the video into chapters Like chapters in books, #youtube’s chapters make things easier for viewers to better understand what will come next.
.
3. Include pattern interrupt Whether your viewers stick around or leave in droves boils down to one thing – engagement. Interrupting patterns makes that more likely.
4. Do #keywordresearch You can’t escape the value of keywords just because it’s #video. As you develop content ideas, make sure to do simple keyword research specifically for #youtube, the second largest search engine in the world.
5. Tell stories storytelling works for viewers who want to be entertained and those who want to learn. Explore how to convey your story in a unique and interesting way that your viewers will appreciate (i.e., keep watching).
Tip:no matter how long the #video, think of it as a story both in the narrative and on-camera presentation.
6. Collaborate Partner with like-minded people who share a similar vision and purpose as your brand to tell their stories. By working together, you can draw in viewers who normally watch your partners’ #video channels, expand your audience, and increase your view time.
Tip:treat these partnerships as collaborations, not influencer marketing. The latter is all about getting new eyeballs on a product or service. Guest collaborations are more likely to create a feeling of shared values or feel authentic.
7. Create longer #videos A shorter video needs a bigger viewership to get the same total watch time as a longer video with fewer viewers.
Tip:think about how to extend some of your existing but underperforming short #videos. Once you publish the longer #video, make those short videos private or delete them altogether.
8.use youtube analytics Examining your #youtube analytics lets you get an awesome insight into both the micro and macro views of your #videos and your channel. You can see viewership in days, times, etc. You also can see data on the videos themselves.

Tracking them down can be an adventure. The platform prides itself on privacy, and its members are fiercely protective of it.
You can pierce through the veil, though, and land interviews with #experts who can lend their credibility to your content. Here is how to flex your investigative muscles to find, vet, and interact with them on #Reddit.
Go #niche on subreddits The magic of #Reddit is, if you can think of it, there’s probably a community built around it. It’s the perfect place to research obscure topics and come up with new content ideas.
As you explore, keep in mind the more specific the subreddit is, the greater likelihood #experts will be there. These digital water coolers draw people to chat about their industry and shared interests.
Given there are thousands of subreddits to sort through, it can be overwhelming if you aren’t familiar with the platform.
Here are a few places to begin your search:
Subgroup searches Instead of beginning with #Reddit’s homepage thread, go deeper into the forum’s subgroups. Search for a general term for your topic to see an overview of the communities associated with it. From there, you can identify niche subreddits that fit your specific areas of interest in the topic. Each group has thousands of people talking about everything from troubleshooting the design press mechanisms to debugging lines of code.
Ask me anything (AMA) The subreddit r/IAmA stands for “I am a” while AMA means “ask me anything.” It gives specialists, public figures, and working professionals a platform to answer questions from fellow #Redditors. You also can find these people elsewhere on the site. Since #Reddit’s interface can be slightly unintuitive, a few more steps are involved to identify them.
Vet your #experts Other social networks expect you to display your name and photo, #Reddit does the opposite. Users can choose to remain anonymous, giving them the freedom to share opinions without having any personal information attached to them.
But some #Redditors share their identity and even post links to their website or other social content.
Whether the person shares their identity on #Reddit or not, you should begin to analyze whether this potential source is credible before reaching out.
Before making an interview request for someone, you can use these questions as a starting point to research their background.
Have they responded to posts connected to their expertise or industry?
If you want to see a user’s post and comment history, click on their profile name. From there, you can begin to check out the types of content they’re interacting with.
How have they responded to posts and questions from other Redditors?Look for patterns in how they answered other questions related to their profession, industry, or topic you’re covering. Their comments should provide consistent, relevant, and insightful information.
Do they have any certifications or listed credentials in their posts?This question is specific to AMA posts. Communities like r/IAmA require users who create posts to provide proof of their expertise.

1. Address multiple points When writing conclusions, i tend to stick to the classic structure:
● Final words on the topic with one more keyword mention
● call to action to a product or service
● Final question or food for thought that will motivate people to comment or share the #post
2. Prioritize one call to action Envision your article’s conclusion as a landing page. Multiple ctas will confuse readers. They could pick the low-priority cta link instead of the one you really wanted to emphasize.
Roger maftean’s post on ctas will help you create ones that convert so you can pick the best single option cta to use as the conclusion. In this example, adobe makes it obvious what it wants readers to do:
3. Make it a summary Summarizing a post is a frequently used tactic. You want people to remember your main ideas and maybe even your brand name.
4. Sell subtly If you haven’t managed to bring up your product or service in the body of an article, incorporate a subtle mention at the end.
5. Give away something You can give readers something relevant to the article topic, a handout, template, video, or testimonial that will be helpful or motivate them.
6. Keep them reading You already know the reader is interested in the topic if they get to the conclusion. You can use that to push them to other relevant content, keeping them on your website longer. Write a blog post ending while keeping in mind the possibility for people to stay on your website and read more on a subject.
7. Adapt to the #content type Like with everything in the content world, there’s no one-size-fits-all. If you have different types of blog posts, you can make your conclusion consistent with each type.
For case studies, the most natural flow is to highlight how people could get in touch with you or find out more about your solution.
8. Build a community Create a sense of belonging by inviting people to join your community on social media or other channels like slack, circle, etc. Provide a sneak peek into what your community looks like and the perks of being there. Pinpoint past achievements and appeal to causes your audience care about.
9. Get people to think The best conclusion is one people will remember long after. Asking your readers to reflect encourages them to keep thinking (and remembering your content) after reading.
10. Touch on ranking factors Conclusions are yet one more way of playing a bit with google’s ranking factors. Comments count as page content. Bring readers over to your comments section with sentences like “ask a question and drop your best or brightest below.” Or “let us know in the comments below

So your #content material failed. You’re not alone. In between these items that clearly hit the mark, we’ve all revealed just a few – or quite a lot of – that missed.
There’s loads of recommendations on content material optimization methods to use to articles which might be already fairly good. And there’s much more on methods to reuse, republish, or repurpose your highest-performing content. It’s a sure-win tactic to incorporate in your content material advertising technique.
Do you have to attempt to optimize failed #content material?

· Is it about one thing your group has distinctive data, expertise, or experience in?
When you answered no to both query, this #content material isn’t price optimizing. Transfer on.
When you reply sure to each questions, then the subject is in your content material candy spot – the overlap between what your viewers cares about and what your group has the abilities and experience to coach them about. That’s sufficient to maintain the #content material within the operating for optimization.
When you suspect your #content material failed as a result of it’s the identical as what everybody else is publishing, see should you can reframe it with a tilt. Search for gaps in what competitors are writing on the subject and modify your piece to sort out a distinct angle. Search for long-tail search queries and ensure the article offers thorough solutions.
search engine optimization performs a giant half in discoverability; now that you simply’re dedicated to saving the piece, put within the time to optimize it. These assets might help:
However search engine optimization isn’t every part. Your viewers might discover the piece whereas shopping your web site, on social media, by way of backlinks, or out of your email newsletter. Strive the concepts in these articles to assist get the phrase out.
You realize that previous saying: You by no means get a second probability to make a primary impression. You most likely rolled your eyes when your mother and father stated it for the umpteenth time. But it surely rings very true with regards to #content material. Your headline and lede are that first impression.

Enterprise Solution Delivery The Enterprise Solution Delivery competency describes how to apply Lean-Agile principles and practices to the specification, development, deployment, operation, and evolution of the world’s largest and most sophisticated software applications, networks, and cyber-physical systems.
Why Enterprise Solution Delivery? Humanity has always dreamed big; and scientists, engineers, and software developers then turn those big dreams into reality. That includes: • Requirements analysis • Business capability definition • Functional analysis and allocation • System design and design synthesis • Design alternatives and trade studies • Modeling and simulation • Building and testing components, systems, and systems of systems • Compliance and verification and validation • Deployment, monitoring, support, and system updates
Over the decades that these systems are operational, their purpose and mission evolve. That calls for new capabilities, technology upgrades, security patches, and other enhancements. As true ‘living systems,’ the activities above are never really ‘done’ because the system itself is never ‘complete.’
Today, a range of innovations allow large, cyber-physical systems to leverage these practices to provide faster, and more continuous delivery of value, including: • Programmable hardware • 5G • Over-the-air updates • IoT • Additive manufacturing
These practices have also changed the definitions, and even the goal, of ‘becoming operational.’ Systems are not simply deployed once, then merely ‘supported.’ Instead, they are released early and developed over time. Aspects of this dimension include: 1.Continually refine the fixed/variable Solution Intent 2.Apply multiple planning horizons 3.Architect for scale, modularity, releasability, and serviceability 4.Continually address compliance concerns
Coordinating Trains and Suppliers coordinates and aligns the extended, and often complex, set of value streams to a shared business and technology mission. It uses the coordinated Vision, Backlogs, and Roadmaps with common Program Increments and synchronization points. Aspects of this dimension include:
5.Build and integrate solution components and capabilities with Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and Solution Trains. 6. Apply 'continuous’ integration 7. Manage the supply chain with systems of systems thinking
Continually Evolve Live Systems ensures large systems and their development pipeline support continuous delivery. Aspects of this dimension include:

The #Product Owner (PO) is a member of the Agile Team responsible for defining Stories and prioritizing the Team Backlog to streamline the execution of program priorities while maintaining the conceptual and technical integrity of the Features or components for the team.
The #PO has a significant role in maximizing the value produced by the team and ensuring Stories meet the user’s needs and comply with the Definition of Done. For most enterprises moving to #Agile, this is a new and critical role, typically translating into a full-time job, requiring one PO to support each #Agile team (or, at most, two teams).
This role has significant relationships and responsibilities outside the local team, including working with #Product Management, Customers, Business Owners, and other stakeholders.
The #PO is the member of the #Agile team who serves as the customer proxy responsible for working with Product Management and other stakeholders—including other POs—to define and prioritize stories in the Team Backlog.
This allows the Solutionto effectively address program priorities (Features and Enablers) while maintaining technical integrity. Ideally, the PO is collocated with the rest of the team, where they typically share management, incentives, and culture.
But the #PO also attends the relevant Product Management events for planning and Program Backlog/Visionrefinement.
Responsibilities The #PO fulfills the following duties:
Preparation and Participation in PI Planning
● As a member of the extended #Product Management team, the #PO is heavily involved in program backlog refinement and prep for Program Increment (PI) planningand also plays a significant role in the planning event itself. Before the planning event, the #PO updates the team backlog and typically reviews and contributes to the program vision,
● Roadmap, and content presentations. During the event, the #PO is involved with story definition, providing the clarifications necessary to assist the team with their story estimates and sequencing. The entire #Agile team, which includes the #PO, also work together to determine their team PI objectives for the upcoming PI.

In safe, an #agile teamis a cross-functional group of 5-11 individuals who define, build, test, and deliver an increment of value in a short time box.
Because communication quality diminishes as team size increases, agile enterprises tend to prefer collections of smaller teams. For example, it’s generally better to have two teams of five people than one team of ten.
Solution delivery requires broad and diverse skills. Technical teams define, build, test, and-where applicable-deploy, some element of #solution value. Business teams collaborate with them to provide a range of support that includes:
● Guardrails and other business parameters
● Infrastructure
● Contracts and suppliers
● End-user training
● Legal guidance
● Marketing
● Security and compliance expertise
● Fitness for use
● Solution knowledge
Both types of teams strive for fast learning by performing work in small batches, assessing the results, and adjusting accordingly. All safe agile teams include two key roles, the #scrum master and product owner.
No train can exist without agile teams; they power the agile release train (art) and ultimately the entire enterprise. Arts are responsible for delivering larger solution value. All teams on the train collaborate with other teams, contribute to its vision and roadmap, and participate in art events. In addition, they are largely responsible for building the continuous deliverypipeline and #devopscapabilities.
By building and supporting the solutions that deliver value to their customers, agile teams fuel the enterprise.
It produced a cohesive set of values, principles, and practices that sparked the creation of high-performing teams. In safe, agile teams are the building blocks for creating and delivering value. Without effective agile teams, composed of empowered and motivated individuals, organizations cannot achieve the broader business benefits of lean-agile development.
These teams are self-organizing and self-managing, accountable to deliver results that meet the needs and expectations of their customers and stakeholders. They are also accountable to each other and to other teams for delivering quality work on time.
By moving work to the teams and trains, instead of bringing people to the work, enterprises can largely eliminate the ‘project model’ of working. They create long-lived teams and teams of teams, dedicated to relentlessly improving their ability to deliver solutions.
This is how safe differs from the traditional approach in which managers direct individuals to activities. Safe teams—not their managers—determine for themselves what stories they can implement in an iteration and how to implement them.
Lean-agile leaders provide the vision, leadership, and autonomy necessary to foster and promote high-performing teams. As a result, assigning work to individual team members is no longer required as teams are mostly self-reliant.
This enables decentralized decision-making all the way to the level of the individual contributor. The primary responsibility of lean-agile leaders then is to coach and mentor agile teams.

Lean Portfolio Management The Lean Portfolio Management competency aligns strategy and execution by applying Lean and systems thinking approaches to strategy and investment funding, Agile portfolio operations, and governance.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency. These core competency assessments, along with recommended improvement opportunities, are available from the Measure and Grow article.
Lean Portfolio Management describes how a SAFe portfolio is a collection of Value Streams for a specific business domain in an Enterprise. Each value stream delivers one or more Solutions that help the enterprise meet its business strategy. These value streams develop products or solutions for external customers or create solutions for internal operational value streams.
One SAFe portfolio can typically govern the entire solution set for a small-to-medium-size organization. Large enterprises often require multiple portfolios, usually for each line of business, business unit, or division.
Why Lean Portfolio Management? Traditional approaches to portfolio management were not designed for a global economy or the impact of digital disruption. These factors put pressure on enterprises to work under a higher degree of uncertainty and deliver innovative solutions much faster. Despite this new reality, many legacy portfolio practices remain.
Portfolio Management approaches must be modernized to support the Lean-Agile way of working. Fortunately, many enterprises have already traveled this path, and the change patterns are apparent, The LPM function has the highest level of decision-making and financial accountability for the solutions and value streams in a SAFe portfolio to address the challenge of defining, communicating, and aligning strategy.
The people who fulfill the LPM function have various titles and roles and are often distributed throughout the organization’s hierarchy. Because LPM is critical to the Lean Enterprise, these responsibilities are commonly held by business managers and executives who understand the enterprise’s financial, technical, and business contexts. They are accountable for the overall business outcomes.
The three dimensions of the Lean Portfolio Management competency, followed by a brief description of each:
1.Strategy & Investment Funding ensures the entire portfolio is aligned and funded to create and maintain the solutions needed to meet business targets.
Agile Portfolio Operations coordinates and supports decentralized program execution and fosters operational excellence.
Lean Governance is the oversight and decision-making of spending, audit and compliance, forecasting expenses, and measurement.

● Who is ultimately responsible for business outcomes?
● Who can steer this #ART to develop the right Solution?
● Who can speak to the technical competence of the solution now and into the near future?
● Who should participate in planning, help eliminate impediments, and speak on behalf of development, the business, and the customer?
● Who can approve and defend a set of Program Increment (PI) plans, knowing full well that they will never satisfy everyone?
● Who can help coordinate the efforts with other departments and organizations within the Enterprise?
The answers to these questions will identify the #Business Owners, who will play a key role in helping the #ART deliver value. Among other duties, they have specific responsibilities during PI Planning, where they participate in mission setting, planning, draft plan reviews, conducting management reviews, and problem-solving. They also assign business value to Team PI Objectives and approve the PI plan. But they don’t just disappear after planning. Active and continuous involvement throughout each PI by Business Owners is a determining factor in the success of each train.
Self-managing, self-organizing #Agile Teams and #Agile Release Trains (ARTs) are essential to the success of #SAFe. This represents a significant change in the traditional management mindset. Managers no longer need to directly supervise work by assigning tasks and activities. Instead, they lead by establishing mission and Vision.
They help the teams with coaching and skills development, but largely decentralized execution authority to the members of the #ART. However, transformation to a #Lean-Agile way of working does not relieve management of their ultimate responsibilities.
They remain accountable for the growth of the organization and its people, operational excellence, and business outcomes. To facilitate this goal, #SAFe defines the responsibilitiesof #Business Owners, the key managers who guide the #ART to the appropriate outcomes.
An effective #Business Owner is an active and involved Business Owner, fulfilling #SAFe responsibilitiesdaily.

: #seo #research #search engine optimization
Seo can seem like a complicated puzzle for #digital marketers. But you need to put it together to create a better picture for your website traffic.
Explore these key tactics, tools, and time savers to make putting together the puzzle easier and help you shine when it comes to sharing your performance data.
Select better keyword phrases There is no “right” when it comes to keywords because they involve plenty of guesswork. A keyword phrase might seem ideal, but additional work and time reveal whether it’s not relevant enough or too competitive.
As a starting point, focus on searcher intent to better match your keywords to possible conversions.
You can’t rely on your hunches for #keyword choices. You also can’t do keyword #research, plug-in data based on some formula, and run with the results. Examine the data and decide what it’s telling you.
Don’t dismiss outright If your site is ranking no. 99 now for the #keyword, it probably won’t be no. 1 or no. 11 even eight months from now. But don’t rule out the keyword. Other variables will make it clear whether to scratch it from your list.
Search for your sweet spot Look at how well your website performs for keywords and add keywords related to those that do the best.
Say your site page ranks no. 3 on google for a favorite keyword phrase. Likely, the keywords in the page content header influenced that top ranking. Now, if your page ranks no. 67, maybe a preferred keyword phrase is only mentioned one time in the 18th paragraph. Tweak your page accordingly.
See the value in low search volume Precise keyword phrases (long tails) may be great options. For example, if your product has a high price tag, say $30,000, your prospect audience probably isn’t that big. So even 20 searches a month is worthwhile. Be patient. Low search volume keyword phrases can bring the right prospects over time.
Identify how #seo performs beyond rankings People are still fascinated with rankings. They’re a measure of success, i guess. But how your website ranks on google shouldn’t get so much fanfare.
What should be celebrated is how well natural (organic) traffic influenced leads and sales. Evaluate old and new website content to see which pages should get the most credit. Is it the primary text on the page or the clear call to action? Maybe they work hand in hand.
You can track all this in google analytics, including conversions (ranging from completed forms to product demos). Start by creating goals that can be traced to natural #searchengine traffic and other website visitor data

Organizational Agility The Organizational Agility competency describes how Lean-thinking people and Agile teams optimize their business processes, evolve strategy with clear and decisive new commitments, and quickly adapt the organization as needed to capitalize on new opportunities.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess its proficiency.
Why Organizational Agility? In today’s digital economy, the only truly sustainable competitive advantage is the speed at which an organization can sense and respond to the needs of its customers.
Its strength is its ability to deliver value in the shortest sustainable lead time, to evolve and implement new strategies quickly, and to reorganize to better address emerging opportunities. Organizational agility is critical to respond sufficiently to the challenges. Unfortunately, the organizational structures, processes, and cultures of most businesses were developed more than a century ago. They were built for control and stability, not for innovation, speed, and agility. Small incremental changes to how businesses manage, strategize, and execute are insufficient to remain competitive.
The SAFe approach to addressing the challenge of digital transformation is the ‘dual operating system’, one that leverages the stability and resources of the existing organizational hierarchy while implementing a value stream network that leverages the entrepreneurial drive still present in every organization.
By organizing and reorganizing the enterprise around the flow of value instead of the traditional organizational silos, SAFe restores the second (network) operating system.
The organizational agility competency is instrumental in bringing the power of the second operating system to support the opportunities and threats of the digital age. This competency is expressed in three dimensions
Three dimensions of organizational agility
Lean-Thinking People and Agile Teams – Everyone involved in solution delivery is trained in Lean and Agile methods and embraces their values, principles, and practices.
Lean Business Operations – Teams apply Lean principles to understand, map, and continuously improve the processes that deliver and support businesses solutions.
Strategy Agility – The enterprise is Agile enough to continuously sense the market, and quickly change strategy when necessary.

They do this through leading by example; learning and modeling #SAFe’s #Lean-Agile mindset, values, principles, and practices; and leading the change to a new way of working.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the #Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why #Lean-Agile Leaders? An organization’s managers, executives, and other leaders are responsible for the adoption, success, and ongoing improvement of #Lean-Agile development and the competencies that lead to business agility. Only they have the authority to change and continuously improve the systems that govern how work is performed.
Moreover, only these leaders can create an environment that encourages high-performing Agile teams to flourish and produce value. Leaders, therefore, must internalize and model leaner ways of thinking and operating so that team members will learn from their example, coaching, and encouragement.
Becoming a Lean enterprise is neither simple nor easy. As described below, business agility requires a new approach to leadership. It starts with leaders exemplifying behaviors that will inspire and motivate the organization to pursue a better way of working.
They set the example by coaching, empowering, and engaging individuals and teams to reach their highest potential through Lean and Agile principles and practices.
In short, knowledge alone won’t be enough.Lean-Agile leaders must do more than simply support the transformation: they must actively lead the change, participating in and guiding the activities necessary to understand and continuously optimize the flow of value through the enterprise. #Lean-Agile leaders:
● Organize and reorganize around value
● Identify queues and excess Work in Process (WIP)
● Continually focus on eliminating waste and delays
● Eliminate demotivating policies and procedures
● Inspire and motivate others
● Create a culture of relentless improvement
● Provide the space for teams to innovate
By helping leaders develop along three distinct dimensions, organizations can establish lean-agile leadership as a core competency.
These dimensions are:
Leading by Example – Leaders gain earned authority by modeling the desired behaviors for others to follow, inspiring them to incorporate the leader’s example into their own personal development journey.
Mindset and Principles – By embedding the Lean-Agile way of working in their beliefs, decisions, responses, and actions, leaders model the expected norm throughout the organization.
Leading Change – Leaders lead (rather than simply support) the transformation by creating the environment, preparing the people, and providing the necessary resources to realize the desired outcomes.

One of the key elements of #SAFe, or the #ScaledAgileFramework, is the #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline. It represents the #workflows, #activities, and #automation needed to bring a piece of #functionality from its #formation in the mind's eye, to a fully-featured, working piece of a #product. The #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline is a sort of map, detailing the journey through an #AgileReleaseTrain.
The different parts of the #CDP are this:
There are many ways the #CDP is beneficial to #organizations. #CDP allows #organizations to continuously #improve, #cultivating #internalfeedbackloops that drive greater quality, by way of mapping out their #deliverypipeline into a new #structure. The structure utilized by the #CDP is different than that of #traditionalstructures-- down to the way #releases are #delivered.

Within #SAFe, one of the primary end goals is #BusinessAgility-- wherein it's needed to keep #SAFe moving, but also is one of its benefits. #BusinessAgility, as defined on the #SAFe #website, is the "ability to compete and thrive in the #digitalage by quickly responding to #marketchanges and emerging #opportunities with innovative #businesssolutions." So, you may wonder, what exactly does that mean?
It isn't just enough to know this is the case. Many #executives and #organization leaders are aware of this, they just don't have a system to #implement the changes. That's why so many industry titans have fallen in recent years. They build their #organizations around the world they knew, and when they need to take a hard turn, it all comes tumbling down, because their #business simply wasn't #agile enough to make it. It's like trying to take a hairpin turn going sixty in an 18-wheeler.
So, to achieve the ability for rapid turnaround, delivery of #solutions as the #market demands, innovation, and more, #BusinessAgility seems to be the way to go moving forward. Lucky for the #organizations needing it, #SAFe provides a steady, proven way to deliver it.

They have to: #Organize work around #valuepropositions, Spot the areas of overflowing work, Trim the fat of delays and invaluable work, Enable #motivation within #team members, and finally, #Cultivate a #culture of continuous #improvement and #learning.
As described in #SAFe, there are three dimensions to #LeanAgile #Leadership. These are: #Leading by #Example, #Mindset, and #Principles, and #LeadingChange. Leading by Example is beneficial wherein the #leader #develops trust in them by other #team members through modeling #desiredbehaviors. #Mindset and #Principles help instill the #LeanAgileculture, down to individual #actions and #opinions. Lastly, #LeadingChange enables the #leader to lead a #transformation by making changes in the #environment in which work occurs, providing everything individuals need to make the #transformation.
Like most things in #Agile, #LeanAgile #Leadership is more than something to do, it's a #mindset. It's a way of carrying yourself and your actions to be the leader of positive change.

The #SAFeImplementationRoadmap consists of an overview graphic and a 12-article series that describes a #strategy and an ordered set of activities that have proven to be effective in successfully #implementing #SAFe. Achieving #businessagility and the benefits of #LeanAgile #development at scale is not a trivial effort, so SAFe is not a trivial #framework. Before realizing SAFe’s rewards, #organizations must embrace a #LeanAgilemindset as well as understand and apply #LeanAgileprinciples. They must identify #valuestreams and #AgileReleaseTrains (#ARTs), #implement a #LeanAgilePortfolio, build quality in, and establish the mechanisms for continuous #valuedelivery and #DevOps. And, of course, the #culture must evolve as well.
In order to achieve the desired #organizational change, leadership must “script the critical moves,” as described by #DanandChipHealth. While no two adoptions are identical and there is rarely a perfectly sequential step-by-step #implementation we know that #businesses getting the best results typically follow a path similar to that shown in the #ImplementationRoadmap. It includes the following 12 steps: 1. Reaching the tipping point 2. Train #LeanAgile change agents 3. Train #executives, #managers, and #leaders 4. Create a #LeanAgile center of excellence 5. Identify #valuestreams and #ARTs 6. Create the #Implementationplan 7. Prepare for #ART launch 8. Train #teams and launch the #ART 9. Coach #ART execution 10. Launch more #ARTs and #valuestreams 11.

The #Innovation and #PlanningIteration occurs every #ProgramIncrement and serves multiple purposes. It acts as an estimating buffer for meeting #PIobjectives and sets aside dedicated time for innovation, continuing education, #PIPlanning, And #Inspect and #Adapt (I&A) #Events. This is a #SAFe artifact, and so it has a strong focus on consistent, #continuousdelivery of value to customers.
The #IPIteration provides a time for teams to work together on activities that would normally be difficult to work into a #continuousdelivery model-- it helps cover the bases possibly missed initially, allowing the teams to meet their #goals for that #increment. Things that may be covered in the #IPIteration are:
Time for#innovation and #exploration, beyond the #iterations dedicated to the #delivery work on technical infrastructure, tooling, and other impediments to #delivery education to support #continuouslearning and #improvement
dedicated time for the #Inspect & #Adapt (I&A) #event, #backlogrefinement, including final prioritization of features using #WeightedShortestJobFirst (#WSJF), and #PIplanning.
Final #Integration Of The #Solution, Including #Verification And #Validation, If Releasing On The #PIBoundary Final user acceptance testing and documentation, and any other readiness activities that are not feasible or economical to perform every #iteration.
One of the pillars of the #SAFe #LeanAgileMindset is innovation, but actually having the time to #create and #develop new ideas may seem impossible between the #constantdelivery dates. This issue is one that #IPiterations seek to solve, giving teams an opportunity to facilitate #research and #design activities.
The #PISystemDemo occurs at the end of each #PI. It integrates the work of all teams on the #AgileReleaseTrain and presents it in a staging environment, reproducing production as accurately as possible. The purpose of this demo is to demonstrate the accumulation of features and capabilities that have been developed over the course of the #PI.

The Release Train Engineer (RTE) is a servant leader and coach for the Agile Release Train (ART). The #RTE’s major responsibilities are to facilitate the ART events and processes and assist the teams in delivering value.
Although Agile Release Train (ART) and Solution Trains are composed of self-organizing and self-managing teams, trains don’t drive or steer themselves on autopilot. That responsibility falls to the #RTE or #STE, who operate most effectively as servant leaders.
They have a solid grasp of how to scale Lean and Agile practices and understand the unique opportunities and challenges associated with facilitating and continuously aligning a large development program.
The #RTE and the #STE facilitate ART and Solution Train processesand execution, respectively. They escalate impediments, manage risk, help ensure value delivery, and help drive relentless improvement. Many also participate in the Lean-Agile transformation, coaching leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in the new processes and mindsets. They help configure #SAFe to the organization’s needs, standardizing and documenting practices.
● Manage and optimize the flow of value through the ART and Solution Train using various tools, such as the Program and Solution Kanbans and other information radiators
● Establish and communicate the annual calendars for Iterations and Program Increments (PIs)
● Summarize Team PI Objectives into Program PI Objectives (the #RTE) and publish them for visibility and transparency
● Summarize program PI objectives into Solution PI Objectives (the #STE) and publish them for visibility and transparency
● Assist tracking the execution of features and capabilities
● Facilitate periodic synchronization events, including the ART sync at the Essential Level and the Solution Train sync for Solution Trains
● Assist with economic decision-making by facilitating feature and capability estimation by teams and the roll-up to Epics, where necessary
● Coach leaders, teams, and Scrum Masters in Lean-Agile practices and mindsets
● Help manage risks and dependencies
● Escalate and track impediments
● Provide input on resourcing to address critical bottlenecks
● Encourage collaboration between teams and System and Solution Architects/Engineering

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEFINING AND SUPPORTING THE BUILDING OF DESIRABLE, FEASIBLE, VIABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS THAT MEET CUSTOMER NEEDS OVER THE #PRODUCT-MARKET LIFE CYCLE. S
To do this, they collaborate with a wide range of people to identify and define customer needs, understand the SOLUTION CONTEXT, and develop the PROGRAM VISION, ROADMAP, and required to meet these needs. Then, they support the ARTs in delivering value through the PROGRAM KANBAN and CONTINUOUS DELIVERY PIPELINE.
They coordinate the work of multiple #ProductManagers, ARTs, and Suppliers through a set of CAPABILITIES defined in the SOLUTION VISION, SOLUTION ROADMAP, and SOLUTION INTENT
THIS MINDSET FOCUSES THE ENTIRE ORGANIZATION ON CREATING DESIRABLE, VIABLE, FEASIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS.
The primary responsibilities of product management fall into four main areas
● MEET BUSINESS GOALS – Products and solutions must meet the economic business goals established by the portfolio
● GET IT BUILT – Product Managers collaborate with Agile Release Trains (ARTs) and Solution Trains to build the required functionality
● GET IT OFF THE SHELF – Internally, Product Managers collaborate with IT to ensure solutions are deployed to internal customers and users; externally, #PRODUCT MANAGERS collaborate with an even larger set of business stakeholders to deliver products to the #market
● LEVERAGE SUPPORT – #ProductManagers ensure their offerings are supported and enhanced to create a continuous flow of value. Extended responsibilities associated with external product managers and Solution #Management are described later.

Delivering the ‘best #value and #quality for people and society in the shortest sustainable lead time’ requires a #fundamental understanding of the #economics of #buildingsystems. Everyday decisions must be made in a proper #economic context. This framework highlights the trade-offs between risk, #CostofDelay (#CoD), #manufacturing, #operational, and #developmentcosts.
Addressing the challenges in the #workplace and the #marketplace requires an #understanding of the systems within which workers and users operate. Such systems are complex, and they consist of many interrelated components. In #SAFe, #systemsthinking is applied to the #systemunderdevelopment, as well as to the #organization that builds the system.
Achieving fast value delivery requires #decentralizeddecisionmaking. This reduces delays, improves #productdevelopment flow, enables faster #feedback, and creates more #innovativesolutions designed by those closest to the local knowledge.
Many #enterprises today are #organized around principles developed during the last century. In the name of intended efficiency, most are organized around functional expertise. But in the #digitalage, the only sustainable competitive advantage is the speed with which an #organization can respond to the needs of its #customers with new and #innovativesolutions.

The four #corevalues of alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution represent the #fundamental beliefs that are key to #SAFe’s effectiveness. These guiding principles help dictate behavior and action for everyone who participates in a #SAFePortfolio.
Alignment is needed to keep pace with fast change, disruptive competitive forces, and geographically distributed teams. While empowered, #Agileteams are good (even great), but the responsibility for #strategy and alignment cannot rest with the combined opinions of the teams, no matter how good they are. Instead, alignment must rely on the #enterprise's #business objectives.
Built-in #quality ensures that every element and every increment of the solution reflects quality standards throughout the #development lifecycle. #Quality is not “added later.” Building quality is a prerequisite of #Lean and flows—without it, the organization will likely operate with large batches of unverified, unvalidated work. Excessive rework and slower velocities are likely results.
Of course, none of the rest of #SAFe matters if teams can’t execute and continuously deliver value. Therefore, #SAFe places an intense focus on working systems and #business outcomes. History shows us that while many enterprises start the transformation with individual #Agile teams, they often become frustrated as even those teams struggle to deliver more substantial amounts of solution value, reliably and efficiently.
Successful #ScaledLeanAgile development and these four core values require the active support of #LeanAgile leadership and continuous learning culture. Leaders couple these core values with #SAFeLeanAgile principles and practices and an orientation toward creating value for customers. In turn, that creates a persistent and meaningful culture for the teams and their stakeholders.

It #organizations worldwide are plagued by a core, chronic conflict: #technologydeliveryprocesses that are reliant on teams with opposing #goals and #incentives. #Development teams must deliver changes quickly to keep pace with #business needs. #Operationsteams must regulate the flow of changes to maintain the stability of #solutions that run the #business. Security teams must institute policies to prevent changes from introducing vulnerabilities that can cause data breaches. Only then can the needs of all #teams and the needs of the #customer be met predictably and effectively.
Measuring #DevOpsperformance and tracking incremental progress are important steps in building a thriving #DevOpsculture. The #SAFe #DevOps health radaris a tool that helps arts and #solutiontrains optimize their #valuestream performance. It provides a holistic #DevOps health check by assessing the maturity of the four aspects and 16 activities of the #ContinuousDeliveryPipeline. The health radar is used to measure baseline maturity at any point in a #DevOps transformation and guide fast, #incremental progress thereafter.

The #enterprise #architect establishes a technology strategy and roadmap that enables a portfolio to support current and future #business capabilities.
They drive design, engineering, reuse, application of patterns, and create Enabler Epics for the architectures that comprise the solutions in a portfolio. Relying on continuous feedback, these architects foster adaptive design, and engineering practices, and drive programs and teams to rally around a shared technical vision.
Poor strategic technical planning, communication, and visibility can result in suboptimal systems performance, which significantly inhibits #business agility. Providing some Architectural Runway and governance enables supporting current and future needs, such as usability and behavioral constructs across the Enterprise’s solution. System and Solution Architects offer this guidance for Agile Release Trains and Solution Trains.
In Portfolio #SAFe and Full #SAFe, the architectural challenge is even more significant. Mergers and acquisitions, changes in underlying technologies, competitive differentiation, emerging standards, and other factors often push businesses in directions beyond the scope of #Agile Teams.
Aspects of this strategy may include recommendations for the development and delivery of technology stacks, interoperability, application program interfaces (APIs), and hosting. They also apply a Customer-Centric mindset to their work when considering architectural choices. For example, APIs are an interface that benefits from the application of Design Thinking practices, such as using developer personas.
The #Enterprise #Architect is focused primarily on the following types of activities:
● Collaborating with Lean Portfolio Management to provide a high-level vision of enterprise solutions and development initiatives
● Assisting the Agile Program Management Office (APMO) and Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE) to identify and design development value streams
● Helping the value streams adhere to the budget guardrails for retiring solutions (horizon 0) Participating in the strategy for building and maintaining the architectural runway via Enabler Epics
● Influencing modeling, design, and coding practices
● Promoting Continuous Delivery Pipeline and DevOps capabilities
● Collecting, generating, and analyzing innovative ideas and technologies to use across the business
● Facilitating the reuse of code, components, and proven patterns

Epic owners are responsible for coordinating portfolio epics through the #portfolio #kanbansystem. They collaboratively define the epic, its minimum Viable Product (mvp), and lean business case, and when approved, facilitate implementation.
epic owner works directly with the #agile release train (art) and solution trainstakeholders to define the features and capabilities that realize the value of approved epics. They may also have some responsibility for supporting the initiative as it moves downstream through the continuous delivery pipeline to release on demand.
. Epic owners are responsible for formulating and elaborating the epic and analyzing its cost and impact by collaborating closely with other groups in the #portfolio.
By working closely with these key stakeholders, epic owners can create a realistic and compelling vision, appropriate economic #priorities, and a consistent set of features and capabilities.
The epic owner is responsible for guiding individual epics through the #portfolio #kanban system from identification through lpm approval. After the epic is approved, the epic owner works with agile teamsto initiate the development activities necessary to realize the epic’s business outcome hypothesis. After the initiation, the epic owner may have some on going responsibilities for stewardship and follow-up.
As the features and capabilities that define the epics are incorporated into the solution, the epic owner returns to other duties or takes responsibility for other emerging epics. After development is safely underway, the arts have the responsibility for implementing the new epic into the solution. Typically, an epic owner works with the one or two epics at a time that falls within their area of expertise and current business mission.

As defined by #SAFe, “#BusinessAgility is the ability to #compete and #thrive in the #digitalage by quickly responding to #marketchanges and emerging opportunities with innovative, #digitallyenabledbusinesssolutions. #BusinessAgility requires that everyone involved in #deliveringsolutions— #business and #technologyleaders, #development, #IToperations, #legal, #marketing, #finance, #support, #compliance, #security, and others—use #Lean and #Agilepractices to continually deliver #innovative, #highqualityproducts and #services faster than the competition.”
This has not changed since the #digitalage was ushered forth on #organizations, whether actively or forcefully. The #business #benefits of #businessagility are clear: faster time to #market for more #innovativesolutions; #higherquality and #productivity; higher levels of #employeeengagement; opportunity for a new and enhanced #culture, and ultimately, the #ability to #thrive in the #digitalage. But for those new to the endeavor, the question naturally arises as to where and how to begin.
Achieving #BusinessAgility is something not easily done, but can certainly be accomplished by any #organization willing enough. Change is hard, though. Continuous change is hard continuously. The smart #enterprise uses small wins to celebrate #progress and #inspire people to the next #achievement milestone. Because #implementation is done piecemeal, when you reach a new milestone, it’s certainly one to celebrate, raising morale but also the motivation to keep going-- keeping track of the #benefits as they come with each step.
Things change quickly. Embracing #innovation as a #corecompetency requires #leaders to #adopt an #entrepreneurialculture into their #organization. In this approach, small self-#organized teams work together to create #increments of value. These #iterativeincrements can be #smallexperiments, #prototypes, #improvements, or #product changes delivered to users. Using highly #datadriventechniques, #teamscapture, and #analyzeuserbehavior, providing #valuablefeedback to make an #informeddecision on the next steps: continue to scale, pivot to provide better value, or stop working on the #product. This kind of #adaptation is an #essential aspect of #businessagility.

The #AgileManifesto states, “The most #efficient and #effective method of conveying #information to and within a #development team is a face-to-face conversation.” #PIPlanning, being a #SAFe artifact, takes this to its own #frameworks, creating large-scale #PIPlanning events that align many different teams to a shared #vision. They provide the #benefits of significant return on #investment and ensure stability in large #organizations. This kind of planning allows a way to bring teams together even when it may be difficult to align an entire #ART, instead of supporting the idea that “the people who do the work plan the work.”

The #Innovation and #Planning (#IP) #Iteration occurs every #ProgramIncrement (#PI) and serves multiple purposes. It acts as an estimating buffer for meeting #PIObjectives and provides dedicated time for #innovation, #continuingeducation, #PIPlanning, and #Inspect& #Adapt (I&A) #events. #SAFe has an intense focus on #continuouscustomervaluedelivery, and people are busy working on the #Features they committed to during #PIplanning. Every #Iteration counts and the teams are mostly heads down, delivering near-term value. One #iteration after another, the #Solution marches closer to #market. The attention to #solutiondelivery is intense and unrelenting. Of course, a focus on one thing—delivery—can lead to a lack of focus on another—#innovation. Given the constant urgency for delivery, there’s a risk that the tyranny of the urgent [1] will override any opportunity to innovate. To address this, #SAFe provides dedicated #innovation and #planning iterations which are a key aspect of the #LeanEnterprise’s broader innovation culture.
Time for #innovation and #exploration, beyond the #iterations dedicated to delivery Work on #technicalinfrastructure, tooling, and other impediments to delivery
Dedicated time for the #Inspect &#Adapt (I&A) event, #backlogrefinement, including final prioritization of Features using #WeightedShortestJobFirst (#WSJF), and #PIplanning Final integration of the solution, including verification and validation, if releasing on the #PIboundary.
Final user acceptance #testing and #documentation, and any other readiness activities that are not feasible or economical to perform every iteration
One of the pillars of the #SAFe #LeanAgileMindset is #innovation, but finding time for ideation and change in the midst of delivery deadlines can be difficult. To this end, many #enterprises use #IPiterations for research and design activities such as hackathons.
During #PI planning, the #ART does not plan features or stories for the #IPiteration, providing a #buffer (extra time) to the teams for responding to unforeseen events, delays resulting from dependencies, and other issues, increasing their ability to meet Team and Program #PIObjectives. This buffer substantially increases the predictability of the program’s outcomes, which is extremely important to the #business. However, routinely using that time for completing work is a failure pattern. Doing so defeats the primary purpose of the #IPiteration, and #innovation will likely suffer. Teams must take care that this estimating guard band does not merely become a crutch

Why the Focus on #Principles? Building enterprise-class software and cyber-physical systems is one of the most complex challenges our industry faces today. And, of course, the enterprises that build these systems are also increasingly sophisticated. They are bigger and more distributed than ever. Mergers and acquisitions, distributed multinational (and multilingual) development, off shoring, and rapid growth are all part of the solution. But they’re also part of the problem.
Fortunately, we have an amazing and growing body of knowledge that can help. It includes #Agile #principles and methods, Lean and systems thinking, product development flow practices, and Lean processes. Thought leaders have traveled this path before us and left a trail in hundreds of books and references to draw on.
The goal of #SAFe is to synthesize this body of knowledge, along with the lessons learned from hundreds of deployments. This creates a system of integrated, proven practices that have improved employee engagement, time-to-market, solution quality, and team productivity.Given the complexities, however, there’s no off-the-shelf solution for the unique challenges each enterprise faces. Not every #SAFe recommended practice will apply equally in every circumstance. This is why we work hard to ensure that #SAFe practices are grounded in fundamentally stable #principles. That way we can be confident the practices apply in most situations.
And if those practices do fall short, the underlying principles will guide the teams to make sure that they are moving continuously on the path to the goal of the House of Lean: “shortest sustainable lead time, with best quality and value to people and society.” There is value in that, too.

The lean-#agile mindset is the combination of beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and actions of safe leaders and practitioners who embrace the concepts of the agile manifesto and #lean thinking. It’s the personal, intellectual, and leadership foundation for adopting and applying #safe principles and practices.
Safe is firmly grounded in four bodies of knowledge: #lean, #agile, systems thinking, and #devops. In fact, the genesis of safe was to develop guidance for enterprises on how to apply the principles and practices of lean and agile in the world’s largest organizations. For leaders, it requires a broader and deeper lean-agile mindset to drive the organizational change required to adopt lean and #agile at scale across the entire enterprise.
The lean-agile #mindset forms the cornerstone of a new management approach and an enhanced company culture that enables business #agility. It provides leadership with the tools needed to drive a successful safe transformation, helping individuals and the entire enterprise achieve their goals.
A #mindset is the mental lens through which we view the world around us. It is how the human brain simplifies, categorizes, and interprets the vast amount of information it receives each day. Through a lifetime of structured learning (classes, reading) and unstructured lessons (life events, work experience), we form our mindsets. They reside in the subconscious mind and manifest themselves as deeply held beliefs, attitudes, assumptions, and influences. Consequently, individuals are often unaware of how their mindsets influence how they carry out their business school training and on-the-job experiences that are grounded in legacy waterfall, stage-gated, and siloed ways of working.
So how can mindsets be changed? It begins with an awareness of how one’s current mindsets were formed. It’s also vital to cultivate the belief that #mindsets can be developed and improved (a ‘growth’ #mindset,
Leaders must remain open to the possibility that existing mindsets based on traditional management practices need to evolve in order to guide the organizational change required to become a #lean enterprise.

Core Values The four Core Values of alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution represent the fundamental beliefs that are key to SAFe’s effectiveness. These guiding principles help dictate behavior and action for everyone who participates in a SAFe portfolio.
SAFe is based on four primary bodies of knowledge: Agile development, Lean product development, systems thinking, and DevOps. That makes SAFe broad, deep and scalable. But at its core, SAFe places the highest value on four things: alignment, built-in quality, transparency, and program execution.

The Continuous #Learning #Culture competency describes a set of values and practices that encourage individuals—and the enterprise as a whole—to continually increase knowledge, competence, performance, and innovation. This is achieved by becoming a learning organization, committing to relentless improvement, and promoting a culture of innovation.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why Continuous #Learning #Culture? Organizations today face an onslaught of forces that create both uncertainty and opportunity. The pace of technology innovation is beyond exponential. Startup companies challenge the status quo by transforming, disrupting, and in some cases eliminating entire markets. Juggernaut companies like Amazon and Google are entering entirely new markets such as banking and healthcare. At any moment, political, economic, and environmental turmoil threaten to change the rules. Expectations from new generations of workers, customers, and society as a whole challenges companies to think and act beyond balance sheets and quarterly earnings reports. Due to all of these factors and more, one thing is certain: organizations in the digital age must be able to adapt rapidly and continuously or face decline—and ultimately extinction.
What’s the solution? In order to thrive in the current climate, organizations must evolve into adaptive engines of change, powered by a culture of fast and effective learning at all levels.
Learning organizations leverage the collective knowledge, experience, and creativity of their workforce, customers, supply chain, and the broader ecosystem.
They harness the forces of change to their advantage. In these enterprises, curiosity, exploration, invention, entrepreneurship, and informed risk-takingreplace commitment to the status quo while providing stability and predictability.
Rigid, siloed top-down structures give way to fluid organizational constructs that can shift as needed to optimize the flow of value.
Decentralized decision-making becomes the norm as leaders focus on vision and strategy along with enabling organization members to achieve their fullest potential.
Any organization can begin the journey to a continuous learning culture by focusing its transformation alongthree critical dimensions
The three dimensions are:
Learning Organization – Employees at every level are #learning and growing so that the organization can transform and adapt to an ever-changing world.
Innovation #Culture – Employees are encouraged and empowered to explore and implement creative ideas that enable future value delivery.
Relentless Improvement – Every part of the enterprise focuses on continuously improving its solutions, products, and processes.

Lean Portfolio Management The Lean Portfolio Management competency aligns strategy and execution by applying Lean and systems thinking approaches to strategy and investment funding, Agile portfolio operations, and governance.
It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency. These core competency assessments, along with recommended improvement opportunities, are available from the Measure and Grow article.
Lean Portfolio Management describes how a SAFe portfolio is a collection of Value Streams for a specific business domain in an Enterprise.
These value streams develop products or solutions for external customers or create solutions for internal operational value streams.
One SAFe portfolio can typically govern the entire solution set for a small-to-medium-size organization. Large enterprises often require multiple portfolios, usually for each line of business, business unit, or division.
Why Lean Portfolio Management? Traditional approaches to portfolio management were not designed for a global economy or the impact of digital disruption. These factors put pressure on enterprises to work under a higher degree of uncertainty and deliver innovative solutions much faster. Despite this new reality, many legacy portfolio practices remain.
Figure 2 illustrates the three dimensions of the Lean Portfolio Management competency, followed by a brief description of each:
1.Strategy & Investment Funding ensures the entire portfolio is aligned and funded to create and maintain the solutions needed to meet business targets.
Agile Portfolio Operations coordinates and supports decentralized program execution and fosters operational excellence.
Lean Governance is the oversight and decision-making of spending, audit and compliance, forecasting expenses, and measurement.

It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess their proficiency.
Why #Agile #Product Delivery? In order to achieve Business Agility, enterprises must rapidly increase their ability to deliver innovative products and services. To be sure that the enterprise is creating the right solutions for the right customers at the right time, they must balance their execution focus with a customer focus. These capabilities are mutually supportive and create opportunities for sustained market and service leadership.
Three Dimensions of #agile product delivery
Customer Centricity and Design Thinking – Customer centricity puts the customer at the center of every decision and uses design thinking to ensure the solution is desirable, feasible, viable, and sustainable.
Develop on Cadence; Release on Demand – Developing on cadence helps manage the variability inherent in product development. Decoupling the release of value assures customers can get what they need when they need it.
DevOps and the Continuous Delivery Pipeline – DevOps and the Continuous Delivery Pipeline creates the foundation that enables Enterprises to release value, in whole or in part, at any time to meet customer and market demand.

Enterprise Solution Delivery The Enterprise Solution Delivery competency describes how to apply #Lean-Agileprinciplesand practices to the specification, development, deployment, operation, and evolution of the world’s largest and most sophisticated software applications, networks, and cyber-physical systems
● Requirements analysis
● Business capability definition
● Functional analysis and allocation
● System design and design synthesis
● Design alternatives and trade studies
● Modeling and simulation
● Building and testing components, systems, and systems of systems
● Compliance and verification and validation
● Deployment, monitoring, support, and system updates
Over the decades that these systems are operational, their purpose and mission evolve. That calls for new capabilities, technology upgrades, security patches, and other enhancements. As true ‘living systems,’ the activities above are never really ‘done’ because the system itself is never ‘complete.
The #DevOps movement has advanced best practices among significant software systems to better support frequent system upgrades through a Continuous Delivery Pipeline. Today, a range of innovations allow large, cyber-physical systems to leverage these practices to provide faster, and more continuous delivery of value, including:
● Programmable hardware
● 5G
● Over-the-air updates
● IoT
● Additive manufacturing
These practices have also changed the definitions, and even the goal, of ‘becoming operational.’ Systems are not simply deployed once, then merely ‘supported.’ Instead, they are released early and developed over time. Engineers build and validate the CD Pipeline as they build and validate the system since both are critical to the system’s success.
This competency describes nine best practices for applying #Lean-Agile development to build and advance some of the world’s most vital and significant living systems. The nine practices are grouped into the three essential dimensions of enterprise solution delivery
Lean Systems and Solution Engineering applies Lean-Agile practices to align and coordinate all the activities necessary to specify, architect, design, implement, test, deploy, evolve, and ultimately decommission these systems. Aspects of this dimension include:
1.Continually refine the fixed/variable Solution Intent
2.Apply multiple planning horizons
3.Architect for scale, modularity, releasability, and serviceability
4.Continually address compliance concerns
Coordinating Trains and Suppliers coordinates and aligns the extended, and often complex, set of value streams to a shared business and technology mission. It uses the coordinated Vision, Backlogs, and Roadmaps with common Program Increments and synchronization points. Aspects of this dimension include:
5.Build and integrate solution components and capabilities with Agile Release Trains (ARTs)
and Solution Trains
Apply 'continuous’ integration
Manage the supply chain with systems of systems thinking
Continually Evolve Live Systems ensures large systems and their development pipeline support continuous delivery. Aspects of this dimension include:
Build a Continuous Delivery Pipeline
Evolve deployed systems

It is one of the seven core competencies of the Lean Enterprise, each of which is essential to achieving #Business Agility. Each core competency is supported by a specific assessment, which enables the enterprise to assess its proficiency.
Why #Organizational Agility? In today’s digital economy, the only truly sustainable competitive advantage is the speed at which an organization can sense and respond to the needs of its customers.
Its strength is its ability to deliver value in the shortest sustainable lead time, to evolve and implement new strategies quickly, and to reorganize to better address emerging opportunities. #Organizational agility is critical to respond sufficiently to the challenges. Unfortunately, the organizational structures, processes, and cultures of most businesses were developed more than a century ago. They were built for control and stability, not for innovation, speed, and agility. Small incremental changes to how businesses manage, strategize, and execute are insufficient to remain competitive. This requires a leaner and more agile approach which, in turn, requires sweeping changes that have a positive, long-lasting impact on the entire enterprise.
The #SAFe approach to addressing the challenge of digital transformation is the ‘dual operating system’, one that leverages the stability and resources of the existing organizational hierarchy while implementing a value stream network that leverages the entrepreneurial drive still present in every organization.
By organizing and reorganizing the enterprise around the flow of value instead of the traditional organizational silos, #SAFe restores the second (network) operating system. It allows organizations to focus on both the innovation and growth of new ideas as well as the execution, delivery, operation, and support of existing solutions.
The #organizational agility competency is instrumental in bringing the power of the second operating system to support the opportunities and threats of the digital age. This competency is expressed in three dimensions
Three dimensions of #organizational agility
Lean-Thinking People and Agile Teams – Everyone involved in solution delivery is trained in Lean and Agile methods and embraces their values, principles, and practices.
Lean Business Operations – Teams apply Lean principles to understand, map, and continuously improve the processes that deliver and support businesses solutions.
Strategy Agility – The enterprise is Agile enough to continuously sense the market, and quickly change strategy when necessary.

In diesem Video werden wir die #Scrum-Terminologie diskutieren, wie sie in das #SAFe-Framework passt Tägliches #Scrum:
In #SAFe nennen wir es Daily Stand-up, auch bekannt als DSU
Daily Stand-up ist eine 15-minütige Zeitbox-Veranstaltung, die jeden Tag für die Entwickler stattfindet. Der tägliche Standup findet jeden Tag der Iteration statt. Die Entwickler planen, für die nächsten 24 Stunden zu arbeiten. Dies optimiert die Zusammenarbeit und Leistung des Teams, indem die Arbeit seit dem letzten täglichen Stand-up überprüft und bevorstehende Iterationsarbeiten prognostiziert werden. Der tägliche Stand-up findet jeden Tag zur gleichen Zeit und am gleichen Ort statt, um die Komplexität zu verringern.
Sprintplanung
Sprint-Planung: #Scrum-Ereignis, das auf 8 Stunden oder weniger festgelegt ist, um einen Sprint zu starten. Es dient dem #Scrum-Team, die Arbeit aus dem Product Backlog zu überprüfen, das als nächstes am wertvollsten ist, und diese Arbeit in das Sprint-Backlog zu entwerfen.
In #SAFe nennen wir dies Iterationsplanung
Iterationsplanung Iterationsplanung ist eine Veranstaltung, bei der alle Teammitglieder bestimmen, wie viel Team-Backlog sie während einer bevorstehenden Iteration bereitstellen können. Das Team fasst die Arbeit als eine Reihe von festgelegten Iterationszielen zusammen.
Sprint Review
IN #SAFe nennen wir es "The Iteration Review"
Die Iterationsüberprüfung ist ein kadenzbasiertes Ereignis, bei dem jedes Team das Inkrement am Ende jeder Iteration überprüft, um den Fortschritt zu bewerten, und dann seinen Rückstand für die nächste Iteration anpasst.
Sprint Retrospektive
Sprint-Retrospektive: #Scrum-Ereignis, das auf eine Zeitspanne von 3 Stunden oder weniger festgelegt ist, um einen Sprint zu beenden. Es dient dem Scrum-Team, den vergangenen Sprint zu inspizieren und Verbesserungen für den nächsten Sprint zu planen.
In #SAFe nennen wir es "Iteration Retrospective"
Iterations-Retrospektive Die Iterations-Retrospektive ist eine regelmäßige Veranstaltung, bei der Mitglieder des agilen Teams die Ergebnisse der Iteration diskutieren, ihre Praktiken überprüfen und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten ermitteln
In #SAFe nennen wir es das Iterationsziel
Iterationsziele sind eine allgemeine Zusammenfassung der geschäftlichen und technischen Ziele, die das Agile Team in einer Iteration erreichen möchte. Sie sind entscheidend für die Koordination eines Agile Release Train (ART) als selbstorganisierendes, selbstverwaltendes Team.
