<p>Agwiki: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) certification badge.png|alt=Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) certification badge|thumb|Agile Certified Practitioner (ACP) certification badge]]<br /> As defined and certified by the [https://www.pmi.org/certifications/agile-acp Project Management Institute], the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) formally recognizes your knowledge of agile principles and your skill with agile techniques. The PMI-ACP spans many approaches to agile such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, extreme programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD). To earn the PMI-Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)® certification, you must meet the experience and education requirements, and pass the PMI-ACP exam, a 120-question, multiple-choice exam. The PMI-ACP requires rigorous preparation and attention to detail. The following team members at [https://www.agileana.com/ Agileana] are PMI-ACP certified:<br /> * [[Addie Wolcott]]<br /> * [[Blake Newman]]<br /> * [[Shefali Naik]]<br /> * Abigail Melo<br /> As you prepare to pass the PMI ACP certification, I wanted to share with you my observations and experience based on passing the test first time around.It takes about 3-4 hours to thoroughly read a chapter. So, I would dedicate one day to reach each chapter and take notes the first time around.  There are 7 chapters. So, plan on 7 full days to read through the book and take notes and highlight important things the first time around. Try to use a fine yellow highlighter on first pass. Don’t waste time with the end of chapter questions or practice exam, especially on the first pass.Second time around, read it throughly, word for word. Don’t rush through it.  Slow down. Pay special attention to your highlights but don’t skip. The first pass was to become familiar. The second pass is to really understand it deeply.  Use a second color highlighter, like pink, or use a fine point pencil to highlight AGAIN. This helps you keep track of what you have read, what is important, what is interesting.As you read, if anything seems relevant to Agileana or one of your projects, put an asterisks for you to come back and research after the exam. This book is not just to pass the exam, it is to learn it, embrace it, change your mindset, and take action to improve our company and our processes. So, when you come across something that really makes you think we can do things a better way, make a big note of it, dog-ear the page. Come back to it later.By the third time, you can just speed read, focusing exclusively on your highlights and underlines. By the third pass, you will be ready to just take the damned exam.Plan on 3 weeks preparation. One day one, you can go to PMI, register, sign up, and apply for the exam. Schedule it out 3-4 weeks in advance. You don’t need to wait. If you need help putting together your resume, then ping me and we can pair on it. I can also pay the exam fee for you and registration fee.Pay close attention to these concepts:<br /> <br /> * The Agile Mindset<br /> * Value Driven Delivery<br /> * Stakeholder Engagement<br /> * Adaptive Planning<br /> * Continuous Improvement<br /> <br /> &lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; class=&quot;c-mrkdwn__br&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Don’t dwell on technical techniques likes:&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; class=&quot;c-mrkdwn__br&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> * XP<br /> * Lean Product Development<br /> * FDD<br /> * DSDM<br /> * Crystal<br /> * Earned Value Management<br /> * Prioritization Schemes<br /> * CFDs<br /> * Agile Contracting<br /> * Tools for Sizing and Estimating<br /> * and this like this<br /> <br /> &lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; class=&quot;c-mrkdwn__br&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I mean, you need to read it once or twice, but don’t try to memorize anything. It is more important that you understand than you memorize.&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; class=&quot;c-mrkdwn__br&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;When you are done and have passed your exam, you need to follow up and do these things:&lt;span data-stringify-type=&quot;paragraph-break&quot; class=&quot;c-mrkdwn__br&quot; aria-label=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> * Blog about your preparation and experience<br /> * Update your Linkedin profile<br /> * Go back to your notes in your dog-eared pages<br /> * Talk to me about how we can implement changes<br /> * Contribute to this page your epiphanies<br /> * Update this page on your exam experience<br /> <br /> Back to:<br /> * [[Certifications and qualifications]] page<br /> * [[Team members]] page<br /> * Back to [[Main Page]]</div>

<p>Agwiki: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Mindset Shifts for organization transformation.jpg|alt=Mindset Shifts for organization transformation by Aaron Sachs and Anapam Kundu, Thoughtworks|thumb|Mindset Shifts for organization transformation by Aaron Sachs and Anapam Kundu, Thoughtworks]]<br /> We are a lean, agile, fully remote information technology services provider operating out of the Washington DC suburban area. In order to operative effectively, we have defined these core principles, which we consider our manifesto. If you are thinking about working with Agileana - either as an employee or a client - we would encourage you to read this manifesto, give us your feedback, and hopefully align with it.<br /> == Think Lean ==<br /> We strive to not waste time or money. As a lean company, we do not carry large overhead, pay for fancy buildings or expensive perks, or hire a large administrative staff. Particularly in a small company like Agileana, everybody needs to wear different hats and play different roles at various times. This means that everybody needs to take personal responsibility, tie up their own loose ends, avoid creating technical or administrative debt, pay attention to detail, and carry their own weight. In a lean company like ours, there can be no slacking or goofing off, at least not for an extended period of time. <br /> <br /> Time is an especially scarce, valuable, non-renewable resource and should therefore should not be wasted. Because time is valuable, it is important to prioritize everything we do and always focus on the single most important thing at any given time. Clients generally pay us by the hour, so we need to ensure that we are excellent stewards of the taxpayer dollars and donor funds entrusted to us by being efficient and effective with our time. We need to slow down, be careful, and avoid making mistakes that will cause us to unnecessarily spend time fixing or resolving what should have been done right in the first place. We need to have a clear purpose and agenda for our meetings then invite only those people necessary for the meetings. If written communications are not producing results or creating confusion, hop on a call and get to the bottom of it. Do not waste time. <br /> == Think Agile ==<br /> Agile software development was born out of information technology and software failure that happened over and over again, until a few like-minded people decided to take action. A huge chasm existed - between people who pay for software and those who engineer software - in their expectations, assumptions, and paradigms. Frustrated with this repeated failure, agile founders developed and documented the fundamentals of agile software development, which we can actually apply to almost everything in our lives. Agile principles include:<br /> * Focus on a distinct purpose - be purpose driven<br /> * Prioritize our work - focus on [[wikipedia:The_One_Thing_(book)|the one thing]] that is most important<br /> * Be transparent - share progress and challenges then listen for feedback<br /> * Embrace knowledge, insight, and change to develop something better<br /> * Work in time-boxed increments, minimize work in progress, avoid multi-tasking<br /> * Stop periodically to reflect, improve, and reprioritize as needed<br /> == Mindset Shifts for Organization Transformation ==<br /> Thanks to Aaron Sachs and Anupam Kundu, Thoughtworks<br /> # From PROFIT to PURPOSE<br /> # From HIERARCHIES to NETWORKS<br /> # From CONTROLLING to EMPOWERING<br /> # From PLANNING to EXPERIMENTATION<br /> # From PRIVACY to TRANSPARENCY<br /> == Be Trusting and Trustful ==<br /> Especially for a fully remote company like Agileana, we have to have mutual trust and good faith. We trust that employees and team members are working when they are supposed to be working and will reach out to their team members when they run into problems. Likewise, employees and team members need to trust that Agileana cares about them, has their best interest at heart, and will support them in whatever ways we can. We will only thrive if we thrive together and work our hardest to support each other in every way. In the same way, clients need to trust that we are making best use of time and money and that we have their best interests in mind. Our clients' mission is our mission.<br /> <br /> When you [[Company holidays and paid time off (PTO)|need time off]], then take time off. Please just coordinate 360 degrees and give your team mates enough time and support to hold down the fort while you are out. On the other hand, sometimes work needs to be done outside of normal business hours. If you need to work, then we ask you to work. As long as we are working with trust, transparency, and in good faith then we should all be able to thrive together. More information on our leave policy can be found [[Company holidays and paid time off (PTO)|here]].<br /> == Avoid the Drama ==<br /> We simply do not have time or patience for drama. We have fun, joke around, and are sometimes inappropriate. But, for the most part, we expect everybody to be professional, do their work, and get the job done with no excuses. No loose ends, minimal technical and administrative debt, get it done on time and on budget.<br /> == Seek Great Clients ==<br /> Life is too short to deal with mismatched partnerships. So, we have established a Great Client Criteria and strive to work exclusively with Great Clients who share these common traits:<br /> # Friendly and understanding - mistakes will happen, things will go wrong, some things cannot be explained. We need clients who are friendly and understanding when stuff happens.<br /> # Tech savvy - ancient Persian proverb, &quot;you can't reason with a dog.&quot; We need clients who can understand what's going on and be part of the solution.<br /> # Realistic budget - quality carries a price tag, as do reliable professionals, qualified professionals, documentation, accessibility, and security. We don't like to cut corners and need adequate budgets to do things right.<br /> # Pay on time - we have bills that come every month that include salaries, rent, mortgages, electricity, software as a service, and internet connection.

For these reasons, we have allocated an annual budget for travel, training, and technology. This budget changes from year to year and we will announce the budget periodically. We will also periodically grant wishes and award bonuses in the form of travel, training, and technology.<br /> <br /> '''Travel:''' We do not require travel or have many travel requirements. Occasionally, when we are onboarding a new client or perhaps a new employee, we may choose to travel to a location to get to know everybody and develop an initial bond that is important for a long-term working relationship. Opportunities to connect in person are highly encouraged. We try to get together as a company or team from time to time to get to know everybody, unplug, focus on strategy, or solve challenges. Our diverse team is spread out across the US and South America, so many meet ups happen at events like Drupalcon.<br /> <br /> '''Training:''' We have listed the types of [[Certifications and qualifications]] that we seek. We encourage our team to set goals for their professional development. Our company supports you in creating a desired career path and provides necessary training and certifications. We cover the cost of certifications and give you time off when needed.<br /> <br /> '''Technology:''' We expect you to maintain a work station that will allow you to work effectively. This includes comfortable desk, ergonomic chair and keyboard, mouse and/or track pad, video conference system (camera, speaker, microphone), light to brighten up your face and smile when you hop on calls, sound proofing, and mobile devices (smart phone, tablet). We expect all information technology professionals to have and maintain this setup to work effectively.

We consider the opportunity to work remotely a privilege, a benefit, and a responsibility. It is important that you understand these concepts.<br /> '''Time zone:''' We work on East Coast time and observe U.S. Federal Holidays. Please see our [[Company holidays and paid time off (PTO)]] policy.<br /> <br /> '''Focus:''' Working remotely requires trust, dedication, and focus. It is also important that you remain in touch with your team. <br /> <br /> '''Communication:''' We normally use Slack for instant messaging but also have daily stand-ups and video conferencing. We encourage that you turn your camera on during our calls and video conferences to improve communication between team members. We also email our clients and use tools like a jira kanban board to track tasks and communicate the status of work. Any time needed away during work hours or leave time must be coordinated with your team and clients. <br /> <br /> '''Time tracking:''' Tracking time is important for several reasons. For one, in order to provide good estimates in the future, we need to collect good data from past performance. We also use time logs for invoicing clients and ensuring tasks are on track. Working in a remote environment also requires transparency so we encourage this to be tracked in your google calendars. We heavily rely on your time using the JIRA task management system. Because time is our single most previous, non-renewable resources, we have to manage our time wisely. Learn more about [[Time tracking]].<br /> <br /> '''Work station:''' It is important that you arrange your work environment to be free from distractions, noises, and other things that can prevent you from performing at your highest level. Ideally, you would have a dedicated home office with your desk set up for productivity and meetings. If possible, do some soundproofing to reduce echo and ambient noice. Fabric is a great sound insulator. Please read my tips on [https://www.agileana.com/blog/the-ultimate-work-from-home-remote-desk-top-setup/ The Ultimate Work-from-Home Remote Desktop Setup]. Please also read about our [[Travel, training, and technology budget]].<br /> <br /> '''Responsibility:''' Working remotely is a huge responsibility and privilege. It requires trust, self-control, and transparency. Please don't abuse the telecommuting policy. We support everyone's work-life balance through remote work and trust our employees to follow our policies and communicate any issues, suggestions, or ideas to us.

Fabric makes good soundproofing, so closets are nice. There are also acoustic panels that you can get to help deaden ambient noise and keep your conversations in the room.<br /> * Think about blurring your background so there are fewer visual distractions.<br /> * Avoid backlight. Ideally, you should be facing a window and avoid having your back to a bright window. If you have a window, close the blinds or curtains and put up a light in front of you to brighten your face.<br /> * Try to raise your video camera so you are not looking down at the camera.

<p>Agwiki: </p> <hr /> <div>We realize that tracking time is a pain in the neck. But, tracking time is important for several reasons:<br /> # In order to create accurate estimates for more accurate proposals, we need accurate data from past performance to use as a benchmark.<br /> # In order for our invoices to be legitimate, so clients gladly pay rather than question and scrutinize, we need accurate time data.<br /> # In order to calculate potential revenue so we can forecast expenses and pay maximum salaries, we need accurate time data.<br /> # Because time is our single most precious and non-renewable resource, we need to manage our time wisely.<br /> # Because we are remote and cannot see what people are physically doing, we need to have indicators of our work and progress.<br /> So, we need to track time. The good news is that every professional on the planet who serves clients and works by the hour needs to do the same thing. Think attorneys, architects, consultants, etc. The world needs a better way of tracking time, as easy as wearing a Fitbit on your wrist. So, if you can help us design and develop a more seamless, automatic, effortless way of tracking time then we can create a product around that, sell it, and become billionaires.

<p>Agwiki: </p> <hr /> <div>Please note that the information provided here serves as a synopsis of our policies. For more comprehensive details, we encourage you to review the policy documents accessible to all employees, which will be provided to you upon joining the company. These documents offer in-depth information and guidelines regarding our various policies and procedures.<br /> <br /> === Paid Time Off (PTO) ===<br /> PTO is provided to employees for the purpose of rest and relaxation. Employees are eligible for 15 days of PTO per calendar year that can be used for any reason, such as vacation, personal business, or illness or injury. New employees are granted leaves on a prorated basis based on the date of joining. Detailed information regarding the approval process for this leave is provided in the leave policy document.<br /> === Comp Time Off ===<br /> Comp Time Off is an additional form of leave that an employee may accrue when they work on company holidays or weekends. This type of leave is typically earned at a rate proportional to the amount of time worked, and can be used at a later date when the employee needs time off. The approval process is the same as PTO. Comp time off is granted in addition to the regular PTO (Paid Time Off) allocation.<br /> === Exception Time Off ===<br /> If an employee has utilized all of their available paid time off and comp time off, they have the option to request additional leave, known as Exception Time Off. The approval of Exception Time Off is contingent upon a case-by-case basis, considering various factors such as the employee's tenure, their contributions to the company, the impact of their absence on the team and company, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding the leave request. To support their request for Exception Time Off, the employee is required to provide appropriate documentation. The final decision regarding Exception Time Off is determined by the employee's manager and the HR department. These additional leaves, which may include but are not limited to maternity leave, paternity leave, or family emergencies, can be either paid or unpaid depending on the outcome of the review conducted by the designated panel.<br /> === Regular (Core) Working Hours ===<br /> Our primary customer is the United States Federal government located in and around Washington, DC. So, our core working hours are:<br /> * Monday through Friday<br /> * 10 am to 4 pm<br /> * Eastern Time<br /> * EST (UTC-05:00)<br /> * EDT (UTC-04:00)<br /> Sometimes people start a bit late and work late, others like to get an early start. Some work early, break for childcare or errands, and then work late. We do have some west coast folks (California, Washington state, Hawaii) so on a team basis, we may have our first morning standup a bit later in the day (11 am - 1 pm). So, schedules might be a bit flexible based on your client and team. Regardless, like most companies, we expect you to give a day's work for a day's pay, i.e., 8 productive hours per day, 5 days per week. <br /> === American Holidays ===<br /> As an American company, we recognize and observe major U.S. Federal Holidays. However, we also acknowledge the diverse backgrounds of our team members, including those residing in different countries who may wish to observe their local holidays. We prioritize inclusivity and respect for individual beliefs, ensuring that no one is obligated to observe any specific religious or political holiday. Our aim is to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and their cultural practices are respected.<br /> Return to [[Main Page]]</div>

This entails c...&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>== Competence ==<br /> At Agileana, we recognize that nobody is perfect, but we do expect our employees to have the necessary competencies for their respective roles. This entails consistently applying your skills with a positive and friendly attitude. We understand that mistakes happen, and we believe that they are opportunities for learning and growth. However, it is important that you perform your duties to the best of your ability and maintain consistency in your work.<br /> <br /> == Selflessness ==<br /> At Agileana, we value the well-being of our employees and clients alike. We understand that challenges can arise both in your personal and professional life, and we strive to offer support during difficult times. Our company culture is centered around caring and giving, and we seek individuals who share these values. As President John F. Kennedy famously said, &quot;ask not what the company can do for you, but what you can do for your company.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Transparency ==<br /> At Agileana, we operate as a fully remote company and understand that trust and transparency are key components for success and sustainability. Communication is a vital aspect of maintaining that trust and transparency, and we encourage you to keep us informed. If you encounter any challenges or obstacles, we want to know. Whether you feel overworked or underutilized, we want to hear from you. Our goal is to support you in your role, so if there is anything we can do to help you excel, we want to know about it. Additionally, if you have suggestions on ways we can improve processes or identify issues within a project or the company, we welcome your input. During business hours, it's important that we know your availability and what you're working on. We value honesty and transparency, and we strive to foster an environment where you can be truthful and honest with us.<br /> <br /> == Responsibility ==<br /> At Agileana, we strongly believe that responsibility is a core value that drives our success. We take ownership of our mistakes, learn from them, and take measures to avoid repeating them in the future. We are responsive to inquiries and requests, and always strive to provide timely solutions. Being responsible means fulfilling our obligations without making excuses, and not being victimized by circumstances. We are committed to getting the job done and creating positive outcomes.<br /> <br /> == Integrity ==<br /> At Agileana, we place a high value on integrity and expect all employees to uphold the same standard. We believe that integrity means being accountable, honest, and reliable, and doing the right thing even when it may be difficult. We trust that our employees will act with integrity in their daily work and interactions with others, even when no one is watching.<br /> <br /> == Self-Improvement ==<br /> As the world continues to evolve at an accelerated pace, it is vital that we, as knowledge workers, particularly information technology specialists, continuously seek to improve ourselves. We strongly encourage you to work with company leaders to explore educational opportunities and pursue certifications that validate and enhance your skills. At the very least, we expect all employees to actively seek out and take advantage of continuing education and certification opportunities that align with their job responsibilities and company objectives. Agileana is committed to supporting your growth and development by reimbursing you for relevant training and certifications, as well as providing reasonable time to pursue self-improvement.<br /> <br /> == Proactivity ==<br /> At our company, we highly value proactive and self-starting employees. This is especially true with scrum, as we encourage our employees to self-organize and take initiative rather than wait to be assigned a task. If you ever find yourself without a task, we encourage you to speak up and seek out opportunities to solve problems, be productive, prioritize effectively, improve your skills, and contribute to enhancing our company processes. We believe that a culture of productivity and proactivity is essential to our success as a small company, and we greatly appreciate all of our employees who embody these values.<br /> <br /> == Attention to detail ==<br /> Attention to detail and quality assurance are critical to our reputation and fulfilling our contractual obligations. As a team member, we expect you to take responsibility for policing yourself and being the first line of defense in identifying and addressing errors and omissions in our work.<br /> <br /> == Efficient ==<br /> At Agileana, we value efficiency because we believe that time is one of our most valuable resources. By working efficiently, we can maximize productivity and achieve better results in less time. This helps us to better serve our clients and reach our goals. We encourage all team members to prioritize efficiency in their work, and we provide the tools and resources necessary to do so. Our commitment to efficiency is reflected in the quality of work we produce and the success we achieve as a team.</div>

<p>Agwiki: /* Paid Time Off (PTO) */</p> <hr /> <div>=== Paid Time Off (PTO) ===<br /> PTO is provided to employees for the purpose of rest and relaxation. Employees are eligible for 15 days of PTO per calendar year that can be used for any reason, such as vacation, personal business, or illness or injury. New employees are granted leaves on a prorated basis based on the date of joining. Detailed information regarding the approval process for this leave is provided in the leave policy document.<br /> <br /> === Comp Time Off ===<br /> Comp Time Off is an additional form of leave that an employee may accrue when they work on company holidays or weekends. This type of leave is typically earned at a rate proportional to the amount of time worked, and can be used at a later date when the employee needs time off. The approval process is the same as PTO. Comp time off is granted in addition to the regular PTO (Paid Time Off) allocation.<br /> <br /> === Exception Time Off ===<br /> If an employee has utilized all of their available paid time off and comp time off, they have the option to request additional leave, known as Exception Time Off. The approval of Exception Time Off is contingent upon a case-by-case basis, considering various factors such as the employee's tenure, their contributions to the company, the impact of their absence on the team and company, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding the leave request. To support their request for Exception Time Off, the employee is required to provide appropriate documentation. The final decision regarding Exception Time Off is determined by the employee's manager and the HR department. These additional leaves, which may include but are not limited to maternity leave, paternity leave, or family emergencies, can be either paid or unpaid depending on the outcome of the review conducted by the designated panel.<br /> <br /> === Regular (Core) Working Hours ===<br /> Our primary customer is the United States Federal government located in and around Washington, DC. So, our core working hours are:<br /> * Monday through Friday<br /> * 10 am to 4 pm<br /> * Eastern Time<br /> * EST (UTC-05:00)<br /> * EDT (UTC-04:00)<br /> Sometimes people start a bit late and work late, others like to get an early start. Some work early, break for childcare or errands, and then work late. We do have some west coast folks (California, Washington state, Hawaii) so on a team basis, we may have our first morning standup a bit later in the day (11 am - 1 pm). So, schedules might be a bit flexible based on your client and team. Regardless, like most companies, we expect you to give a day's work for a day's pay, i.e., 8 productive hours per day, 5 days per week. <br /> === American Holidays ===<br /> We are an American company that observes major U.S. Federal Holidays. Having said that, we also have people living in other countries who would like to observe their local holidays. And, not everybody here is a Christian or Jew or Muslim or Atheist or whatever, so we don't want to force anybody to observe any particular religious or political holiday.<br /> Return to [[Main Page]]</div>

<p>Agwiki: </p> <hr /> <div>=== Paid Time Off (PTO) ===<br /> Generally speaking, we have a flexible work schedule with unlimited paid time off. Family and personal health always come first. If you need to take time off for any reason, please '''&lt;big&gt;coordinate 360 degrees with your team and track the time you take off using BambooHR software&lt;/big&gt;'''. Take the time off that you need but keep everyone in the loop, so we don’t make mistakes with clients and projects. Having said that, there may also be times when you need to work evenings, weekends, or holidays. So, work when you need to work, take time off when you need to take time off. Please don't abuse our flexible PTO policy<br /> === Regular (Core) Working Hours ===<br /> Our primary customer is the United States Federal government located in and around Washington, DC. So, our core working hours are:<br /> * Monday through Friday<br /> * 10 am to 4 pm<br /> * Eastern Time<br /> * EST (UTC-05:00)<br /> * EDT (UTC-04:00)<br /> Sometimes people start a bit late and work late, others like to get an early start.

And, not everybody here is a Christian or Jew or Muslim or Atheist or whatever, so we don't want to force anybody to observe any particular religious or political holiday.<br /> === Bottom Line ===<br /> The bottom line here is that if you need or want an hour, couple hours, day, couple days, week, couple weeks off then take that time off. But, we've still got a business to run and clients need to be happy or else they won't pay our invoices. And, if they don't pay our invoices, then there is no money to pay you, your salary, your benefits, your health insurance, your tuition reimbursement, or your IT stipend. There is no Bank of Agileana, this is not a charity. Work when you need to work, take time off when you need to take time off. Keep clients happy and everything will work out.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Return to [[Main Page]]</div>
