I am using a (home-made) work management software for my personal projects (programming or otherwise). It's just good organization. Allows me to get done more than I would be able to do relying just on my brain. And I can always ignore it if I don't feel like working.
He just means a kanban board to keep track of what's not done, a way to attach notes to tasks, and a backlog. He's not going to assign points to brushing teeth and packing lunches...
Ye. A good lesson in dishonesty and collective delusion.
Honestly, probably a good thing to learn kids how to verbally fake progress and work from an early age and make them self sound helpful and important. As long as they are told it is only OK to lie during Scrums.
Do you mean personal programming projects or in general?
