Team based vs Project based

As a certified Scrum Master, I do most of my projects using Scrum (or Scrum but…). I really like the transparency and continuous feedback that Scrum brings to the table. But I also notice that Scrum isn’t the perfect fit for all kinds of projects. It’s suited well for Green-Field/Brown-Field projects but I struggle applying Scrum to a Maintenance project or where one team is working on multiple projects at the same time(which is not done in Scrum).

After reading the following article – No projects, Beyond projects – I stopped trying to use Scrum as the hammer that works for every nail(and screw). In this article, the author promotes an alternative model to think about work. He calls this the Beyond Projects model or more descriptive Continuous Work, or Steady State Work Model, or Work Streams.

The author doesn’t mention it, but it sounds familiar to Kanban

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
