New section on Agile this time as something at work required a bit of research into this.
Management
What’s going on with the ‘Great Resignation’? - I have heard this term in different contexts a few times now. I guess this will continue for a bit more.

An epic treatise on scheduling, bug tracking, and triage - cool presentation, it includes a link to the talk
How I Failed As A Scrum Master For My Most Prestigious Team - not really a fail, more of a small correction
Autonomous Scrum Teams are like powerful responsibility magnets - but tricky to get right
Remote Work

Air pollution linked to more severe mental illness – study - a bit like lead?
Urbanism
Tolls scrapped on more than 550 kilometers of Spain’s freeways - this is so frustrating. Apparently they are doing it for "sustainability" and "safety". But see next link...
