Tags are replacing Labels because we’ve received many requests for allowing multiple Labels or Tags with work items, whereas it was only possible to add […]

In Helsinki I will have look at a couple of projects that use a distributed agile approach, but fail to deliver on-time and on-budget. When I get back […]
