Hello everyone, I'm Nils, an Agile coach, and today I want to share a story of frustration, innovation, and transformation. For years, I grappled with the complexities of scaling Agile frameworks like SAFe. Despite their promises, these approaches often left my team and me feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. The endless layers of processes, the bureaucratic overhead, and the constant struggle to manage dependencies took a toll on our productivity and morale. One particularly challenging day, after yet another frustrating backlog refinement session, I realized we needed a change. We needed a tool that could cut through the chaos, bring clarity to our processes, and truly empower our team. That's when I, along with some dedicated colleagues, invented the Dependency Discovery Deck. This innovative card deck has since revolutionized our backlog refinement process, making it more structured, collaborative, and, most importantly, fun. Here's how it all happened. The Chaos of Dependency Management Before discovering the Dependency Discovery Deck, our backlog refinement sessions were a nightmare. Dependencies were often overlooked until they caused bottlenecks, leading to delays and frustration. Our team struggled to visualize the interconnections between various tasks, resulting in missed deadlines and scope creep. Communication gaps and misaligned priorities further exacerbated the issue, making it difficult to maintain a clear and consistent workflow. Every meeting felt like a battle against an invisible enemy, with team members growing increasingly disheartened. We needed a lifeline, a way to turn these sessions into something productive and engaging. The Birth of the Dependency Discovery Deck One evening, after a particularly draining day, we gathered for an informal brainstorming session. Fueled by coffee and a shared determination to find a better way, we started sketching out ideas. We wanted something simple yet effective, something that could bring a sense of play into our work. That's when the idea of the Dependency Discovery Deck was born. The Dependency Discovery Deck is a collection of gamified cards designed to help Agile teams systematically identify and manage dependencies during backlog refinement sessions. Each card represents a specific strategy or tool to uncover hidden dependencies and ensure that all potential blockers are addressed before they impact the project timeline. How the Deck Transformed Our Process Structured Framework:
The Dependency Discovery Deck provided us with a structured framework to approach dependency management. Instead of ad-hoc discussions, we now had a clear process to follow, ensuring that no stone was left unturned. The cards guided us through various aspects of dependency identification, from analyzing stakeholder relationships to mapping out technical requirements.


Enhanced Collaboration:
Using the deck fostered a more inclusive and collaborative environment. Each team member was encouraged to actively participate in discussions, share insights, and contribute ideas. The gamified nature of the cards made the process engaging and interactive, ensuring that everyone’s voice was heard. This newfound engagement not only improved our sessions but also fostered a sense of shared responsibility and ownership.


Improved Planning and Estimation:
By systematically identifying dependencies early in the refinement process, we were able to create more accurate and realistic project plans. This proactive approach allowed us to allocate resources more effectively, manage risks better, and set achievable milestones. Our planning accuracy improved significantly, leading to more predictable and reliable project outcomes.


Visualization of Dependencies:


The visual aspect of the Miro Board, combined with the Dependency Discovery Deck, made it easier to map out and visualize dependencies. We could see how different tasks and features were interconnected, helping us to anticipate and mitigate potential blockers. This clarity was instrumental in maintaining a smooth workflow and avoiding last-minute surprises.


Empowering the Team:
One of the most significant benefits of using the Dependency Discovery Deck was the empowerment it brought to the team. By providing a clear and structured approach to dependency management, the deck instilled confidence in our ability to handle complex projects. Team members felt more equipped to tackle challenges and were motivated to contribute to the collective success of the project. Conclusion The Dependency Discovery Deck has been a game-changer for our Agile team. By providing a structured framework, enhancing collaboration, improving planning and estimation, and empowering the team, it has transformed our backlog refinement process. For any team struggling with dependency management, I highly recommend exploring this innovative tool in the Miroverse. Give it a try, and watch how it can revolutionize your Agile workflow just as it did for us. Have fun with the cards and the board, and check out other card decks like the Dependency Discovery Deck in the Miroverse to further enhance your Agile practices!

Unveiling the Power of the Dependency Discovery Deck: A Game-Changer for Agile Teams

Do you ever imagine yourself or an animal body without skeleton and other parts? it looks invisible, doesn’t it? How would it feel if a shape of skeleton moved around you without any flesh, eyes, hands, legs, and so on? wired, right?. The relation between modern web apps and HTML & CSS is similar to that. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the skeleton of a web app and without CSS it looks weird. They are true soulmates other and it is quite impossible to think about a modern web app without them. Functionality of HTML 5 “image taken from google” — used in blog HTML vs HTML 5 HTML 5 is the latest specification of the HTML language and represents a major break with previous markup practices. The purpose of the many profound compared to the language was to standardize the new ways in which developers were using it, as well as to encourage a single set of best practices with regarding to web development. The core feature of HTML 5 is semantic (meaningful) markup, which makes it more suitable for a web developer. If you want to dive into deep then you can read these “ ” or this other article called “ ” Quora articles Difference Between HTML and HTML 5 Taken from google image CSS vs CSS 3 CSS 3 (Cascading style sheet) is the latest version of CSS. In CSS 3 you can do a lot of things without facing any trouble. You can make some advanced cool animations, motion effects, and so on with ease. Flexbox and Grid are awesome and powerful features of CSS 3 which make a lot of complex tasks very easy.

While I was developing HTML and CSS projects accompanied with my coding partner in ( was an article about micoverse), I was able to make that obscure part lucid. Now I can build any web template using these responsive features. freecodecamp Microverse’s Fast Track program here “boy leaning on white chair” by on Chinh Le Duc Unsplash What is ? Responsive Nowadays, web apps are more famous, because you don’t have to think about the device (desktop, pad, laptop, or mobile) and which platforms is suitable for executing these apps apps. Instead, you can just make your website responsive using CSS’s media-queries. Primarily, I ask myself “Which design strategy will I use for developing this app, mobile first or desktop first?”, before writing the code. Mobile first design is a design strategy that says when you create a website or app, you should start sketching and prototyping the smallest screen first and work your way up to larger screens. Desktop-first is also a design strategy that says the exact opposite of mobile-first design. When I have to use max-width or min-width for creating breakpoints actually, I first think about those design strategies.

Bringing Verification to NFT collections To improve the quality of NFT collections and improve investor protection, with NFTSCAN is introducing project verification for all projects  allowing them to sign the verification contract to provide authenticity and legitimacy for NFT collections on Ethereum and BNB chain by curbing duplicates and counterfeiting. Mintverse Mintverse Founder, Rene Cao, said: The purpose of this campaign is to offer projects with the promise of exponential growth an opportunity to get featured which is something that marketplaces and aggregators holding the majority of the market don’t offer. We want to give everyone an opportunity to enter the limelight of the NFT ecosystem, but we will definitely ensure we put out quality projects out there with the highest potential. The Mintverse and NFTSCAN verification effort boost the desirability of Ethereum and BNB Chain applications. Projects may be easily validated on both platforms using this project verification site. Mintverse and NFTSCAN's verification procedure differs from artists and projects tackling OpenSea verification. The size and involvement of the community, the background of team members, on-chain data, innovation, and sustainability are all included in the material and outline submitted. Furthermore, the technique extends well beyond aggregate trade volume, enabling new ideas to take center stage. How will Digital Art Look in the Future? Large art transactions now account for nearly a quarter of all NFT purchases that have helped NFTs receive public recognition. An American artist named Beeple auctioned his digital artwork at Christie's earlier for $69.3 million, making him one of the "top three most expensive living artists." The current buyer of the NFT will get a 10% royalty every time they acquire the NFT. No one can deny that Winkelmann's success in the digital age is widespread. Bitcoin Angel by Trevor Jones sold for $3.2 million in March, while CryptoPunk #7804 was sold for $7.5 million. Further, the original "Doge" meme worth around $4 million was fractionalized in August of 2021 into 16,969,696,969 $DOG tokens. It's projected that the NFT market will continue to rise in 2022. In the same way that every other industry has its own dangers, so too does this one. To appreciate art, one must first consider what one is looking at – not just what it can achieve – since owning something one doesn't appreciate has little intrinsic worth.

Mintverse is Bringing Project Verification to NFTs in order to Provide Investor Protection

Hello World! I’m Sayyod and I’m a financier. I have almost 5 years of experience in banking. From my childhood, I loved to work on the computer and play video games. At the same time, this love led me to create programs and games such as that. This desire never left me even during study time at the university and also in working time. My mind always thought about it. My whole free time I spent searching how to learn coding from 0. If you surf the internet with patience like me, you can find too many sites and courses which teach you online and promise to become a great developer. Here I will tell you shortly about my search results. I would like to divide them into 2 types: payable and free. 1. — They look great and real. For study in these courses, you will be expected to pay such a noticeable amount of money. Approximately between 18–25 thousand US dollars for the whole curriculum. Payable Pros: They will supply you with teachers, professional staff, hardware, and software. Cons: Unfortunately, most of them are not online. And it is too expensive that most beginners can’t afford 2. . In turn, these sites are also divided into 2: Free The whole curriculum is free; Some parts of the curriculum are free. But you are not guaranteed to become a Web/software developer. They give a few instructions and examples that are not enough. Pros: You don’t have to pay for learning; Cons: There are no teachers, no full guidelines, a lack of materials. I’ve tried with free ones. It doesn’t take too much time to get stuck))) That time I had only 2 questions. First: What is the meaning of these elements? Second: How these elements are working? I didn’t understand what was doing totally. I learned some things but I didn’t know when and how to use them. I realized that I was only wasting my time. I frustrated and stopped. Some times past. in November 2019 on Facebook, I saw a Microverse ad. I can not remember full details of the ad but it fulfilled its task: achieved success to take my attention. I interested in it and clicked to the ad. Then boooom or wooooow. I have no words on how to express my feeling then. I found exactly what I wanted. Microverse teaches you from 0 to full stack developer. Yeah, not for free but no fees until you don’t get any job. This is amazing. and with these offers, they dominated all the sites I have ever seen. I went to their official site, studied thoroughly articles about curriculum, terms, and conditions, checked reviews about the Microverse from other sites. As a result, I satisfied with it absolutely. And quickly started the process. Before starting the full-time course Microverse tests the applicants. Appliers should demonstrate their skills by doing coding challenges and collaborative work. when you aware of coding it may be not difficult, But how do you pass the tests if you are a beginner? in these cases, Microverse offers Pre-course work. Microverse provides you with useful materials. these materials best fit for 0 level beginners. You can find the answers to your questions: what is the internet, working principles of the internet, etc. This pre-course work played an important role. Here I was introduced with the command line, front-end, back-end, HTML, CSS, javascript. I started to understand my actions. My imagination was getting clear from the abstract. I felt that I’m in the right way to my aim. I finished Pre-course work quickly and applied to the full-time course. After the tests, I have been received to the course. Now I’m a student of Microverse and want to say main differences with other sites I’ve tried: 1. First of all, what I like in Microverse: They provide us to do a project and after that require real-life projects while other sites give only examples. In the past 6 weeks, I have created clones of popular sites, such as the Youtube page, Apple homepage, Mint sign-up page, NewYorkTimes, etc. enough materials When you are a beginner and do clones of such popular sites which are done by professionals it gives you motivation. It helps you understand what you learned and do practice once after study. Doing practice after study is the best way to remember them forever. 2. It is one of the best experiments in the world to achieve success. In the full-time course, we always do projects with a partner. During the project implementation, we learn together and teach each other. Two heads are better than one. I knew a code, my partner knew a code together both of us will know two codes. Collaborative work. That’s the aim of Microverse. in Other sites you have to learn alone. If you are alone sometimes it gets boring which can lead to slow, and even to stop. 3. Others offer only teach coding. Not anything additional. Microverse not only teaches you coding, but it also. What are soft skills? Teamwork, Integrity, Good communication skills, Reliability and Organization are good examples of soft skills. trains your soft skills Microverse wants to develop these skills also. They approach their work professionally. I appreciate this approach. 4. Did you get stuck with options? Which one to choose? Payable courses with high costs vs free courses which you don’t completely satisfy with? Then choose Microverse. It aggregates all features of 2 types. Tuition fee. It gives you full-time courses for free until you get a job with a salary of at least 1.000 US dollars. You don’t lose anything. Why not try? 5. Microverse helps you to find a remote job after finishing the course. Microverse has career coaches and they prepare students for the interviews. I haven’t seen offers like this in other sites. that is the privilege of Microverse. I want to tell you about one situation with a Microverse student. He said that he had an interview with the hiring manager organized by the help of Microverse. DD-Dominant Difference. Finding a job. After the interview, he realized that the hiring manager was a Senior web developer of Netlify. I have never heard about Netlify and searched about it. And I would like to recommend you too. Just Google “Netlify salaries”. You’ll find interesting numbers. Does Microverse have any ? cons Yes, Microverse doesn’t give you teachers. Sometimes I get stuck I need help. An explanation of codes; why some codes working in my teammates project, but not working in a mine; any recommendations to solve the issues — that’s why you need a teacher. The absence of a teacher might be a drawback of the Course, but Microverse changed this disadvantage into an advantage. How? in this case you solve your problem with helping hands: your partner, your teammates, Microverse full-time student community. You may ask any questions from them and they are always ready to help. In conclusion, I strongly recommend Microverse to other people who want to learn to code. Never doubt, be sure to select Microverse. Microverse helps you to become from this to that Don’t miss your chance of becoming a great web/software developer. Happy coding!

Reasons Why You Should Choose the Microverse Coding Course As Beginner

After I got my Engineering diploma I have worked in several places. Those are professional factories including Croissant Production and Juice Extraction plants. I was dealing with data in all of those places. I understood that people could be much more successful with the help of software. So these incidents put me in a way to think more about handling data and finding my way in the computer world. Since I first clicked on the Microverse advertisement time passed so quickly and I learned so much. The topic of my article is about the initial experience of the program, let's move on to that point. As I completed the first module successfully, I would like to share my experiences. Covering the first 23 days of experience. Microverse is an online learning program that I believe will break the prejudice about “online things”. Why? Because it will be very successful. Community 1. Stand-Up Team We have small groups of people usually 4 to 7 people from all around the world. And Starting the day with the same group and completing the day with the same group. This gives you a feeling of belonging and explaining yourself. 2. Coding Partners As we move in the program we are meeting with new coding partners. This means meeting new working styles and learning more about how to get things done. 3. TSE's Every time we finish a project a technical support engineer reviewing our code and giving feedback. This is a great opportunity to say them hi and appreciate their efforts. 4. Everyone Else We have a great and vast community with people from over 100 different countries and the chance of saying them hello is great. Most importantly we get to know new people and having a long time friendship. We are having a chance to help others. Meetings 0. Meeting Culture As a very respectful person, I never missed my meetings and always joined meetings in the time. This is the general culture in Microverse. People are caring for 1 minute. Because it is important. 1. PtoP Code Review With our team, we are meeting every morning for half an hour to examine one of our’s code in detail and give him or her feedback about it. This gives a lot of favor for everyone. We have the chance to see different approaches to the same problem and refresh ourselves. Learning how to give and take feedback is important too. 2. Standup Meeting Every end of the day we are meeting with our team again to talk about what we have accomplished on that day and sharing our blockers. Goals for the next day is another topic for this specific meeting. 3. Weekly Mentor Checkin The weekly perspective of our mentors “checking us in”. Which means we are having small to medium dense talk with them about what is going on in the program for us. Including our overall mood, we are giving our thoughts about the flow. As our mentors are making further studies in the program we have the chance to take advantage of that too. 4. Donut Microverse giving us the chance to say hello to a random person every week. We call it the Donut app. It is so easy to become friends, share things and help. Projects Projects in microverse are the milestones of your learning process. They are the clear indications of your outcome. 1. Study/Application Balance Naturally, before every project, we are having our learning process in our path. I usually find it useful to click additional links, inline references in our main articles and never got regretful so far. Putting a little more effort on the study part is acceptable in our program. Though one shouldn’t get lost in researching and get the most important parts from it. 2. According with Coding Partner Cording and according myself with a coding partner is a bliss for me. I LOVE meeting new people and different views. So I always leave the lead to my partner to see his or her approach or how to say.. the first glimpse… With a little effort and time, two strangers have that chance to become friends. Moreover, by sharing time and responsibilities this unique experience is opening a really long way of friendship. Personally, I always would like to show them that I am a lifelong friend for the best people. 3. Getting the Project Approved In every project, we have our requirements list which is very clear. I read it every time. And after I read it do you know what am I doing? I am reading it again. Every information you need to pass your project is on that list. 4. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Once I got used to my GitHub account I started to use it more effectively by following the progress of my colleagues. This helped me a lot because I offered them help when I saw they are stuck. 5. Working Extra Microverse demands 40 hours per week but this shouldn’t be your limitation. Putting a few extra hours would help you a lot in the mainstream time to be more relaxed when reading, learning and coding. At this point, I am sure it will be very nutritive for me in the next months. I will be giving more insights about the program in the future.

And you say learning to code is hard…You say code is not a woman’s  thing…You even imply that women are lazy when it comes to tech commitment okay, you are staring at a woman who never quits. This is my ever first tech article, and I am almost new to programming. I started (this is a referral link)  one Month ago. If you are familiar with Microverse, you will understand what it means. I have to be on my laptop every day from 3:00 pm to 1:00 am UTC+1. It seems like a nightmare for someone just starting out her tech carrier, right? Microverse Not this girl! This has been the most exciting one month of my life. Apart from learning how to think and work like a techie, I have also met the most interesting family, nerds and all. One such people is my coding partner . This guy says the funniest of things. During our second week of school, I told him I was going to a party during the weekend, and he asked me to go along with my laptop so I could pull from when he pushes some of our work. (if you are not laughing now, then you did not get the joke).  When we started learning , dude said he loved , then all of a sudden, he said he had broken up with and was now a playboy because he loved and as well. Just last week, he insisted he was a bad boy because he could push to the MASTER branch on Tresor Moise Github CSS3 FLEX FLEX GRID BO0TSTRAP Github . Enough about him already. I actually intend to write about the biggest thing I have learned this Month. Before , I had used on a few projects, I had never taken time to understand the reasoning behind its construction. All I had to do was download the files and link them to my page. MICROVERSE BOOTSTRAP BOOTSTRAP HTML By the way, did you know was developed by a team at as a framework to encourage consistency across internal tools? Oh yeah, it was. Y . BOOTSTRAP TWITTER ou can read all about it HERE BOOTSTRAP is a directed at responsive, mobile-first . It contains - and (optionally) -based design templates for , , , , and other interface components. Bootstrap free and open-source CSS framework front-end web development CSS JavaScript typography forms buttons navigation Bootstrap’s grid system is built with FLEXBOX and allows up to 12 columns across the page. If you do not want to use all 12 columns individually, you can group the columns together to create wider columns: Bootstrap columns (W3schools) The grid system is responsive, and the columns will re-arrange automatically depending on the screen size. You just, however, have to make sure that the sum adds up to 12 or fewer (it is not required that you use all 12 available columns). How they achieved this algorithm is what I will be talking about on this write-up. While working on our last project on HTML5 and CSS3, my coding partner and I were introduced to Saas, one of CSS preprocessors. SaaS (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language in the world. It is basically CSS with Superpowers. This was the CSS tool we used to develop an algorithm that defined our web page into 12 columns. @ $i from through {
$ : ($ / 12); #{$i} { : $width;
}

One Month at Microverse...

HTML and CSS are two of the most popular tools used to create front-end designs for websites. As simple as they may seem from the outside looking in, they can prove to be quite a challenge at times, pulling one into a black hole of design thinking. Learning With Microverse As a software development student at Microverse software engineering bootcamp, one of the first things you learn is the fundamentals as well as advanced topics relating to HTML and CSS. Prior to my enrolment as a software development student at Microverse, I had worked with HTML for SEO and email newsletters. I had also used HTML and CSS to create websites. While these experiences prepared me in some ways to advance in the HTML and CSS curriculum at Microverse, I found myself learning new things which I had never known before. Like many new endeavours in life, this goes to show that there is always more to learn, even when it comes to the seemingly simple things. Diving Deeper into HTML and CSS With Microverse I dove deeper into the ins and outs of different subject areas of HTML and CSS, including flex, grid, and HTML validation. These were some of the core topics which I believe every developer can gain significantly from having an understanding of. HTML is relatively straightforward. However, it requires understanding of the structure of pages, according to globally recognised standards. Not only can this be useful for search engine optimisation purposes but also for security purposes. Websites such as the help to keep one’s code in check, spotting errors and red flags that can easily be avoided. Typically, a HTML page should have the following for starters: W3C Markup Validation Service The HTML5 Herald <!doctype html> < = > html lang "en" < > head < = > meta charset "utf-8" < > title </ > title < = = > meta name "description" content "The HTML5 Herald" < = = > meta name "author" content "SitePoint" < = = > link rel "stylesheet" href "css/styles.css?v=1.0" </ > head < > body < = > script src "js/scripts.js" </ > script </ > body </ > html A lot of IDEs make it possible to automate the development of a boilerplate, which can save a lot of time. Visual Studio Code and Atom are just a few examples of such IDEs. CSS Fun with Flex and Grid Flex and Grid are similar in that they offer quicker ways to carry out styling and positioning of HTML elements. One of the most significant differences between Flex and Grid lies in the fact that Grid is usually more suitable for styling more complex and larger pages for scale. Flex can be used on an HTML element by referencing the tag in the CSS file. For example, if one wants to style and position an unordered list using flex, one could reference the class of the list or its container in the CSS file and use a "display:flex;" property to initiate the flex properties. There are different properties that could be included to style and position in this case: { :flex; :row; :space-between; :center;
} { :flex; :column;
} .navigation display flex-direction justify-content align-items .pictures display flex-direction Grid can also be used in similar ways to flex. Grid uses tracks to position tags. Items can be placed into grid cells, using tracks. It also has explicit features, allowing for the positioning of items to be defined even if we don’t explicitly define them. One can easily define a page using grid as follows: { : grid; : fr fr fr fr; : ; : ;
} .grid display grid-template-columns 1 1 1 1 grid-template-rows 100px 100px grid-gap 20px The Punchline Whether you are building a prototype, sending out a newsletter for your side project, testing out an idea, or trying to automate some processes, understanding HTML and CSS can make it easier and faster to carry out tasks that relate to front-end development and design. The best way to learn about HTML and CSS is by choosing what learning method works best for you. Everyone has different ways of learning. Personally, I like to learn by doing. Building clones of popular websites using HTML and CSS has helped me a lot to develop my understanding of front-end development. Also, watching how other developers use HTML and CSS to build websites has helped me improve upon my own methods of building websites with HTML and CSS. Below are some of the resources you may find to be beneficial in your HTML and CSS journey. Happy coding! Flexbox Zombies CSS Tricks W3Schools HubSpot Microverse

My Web Development Journey With Microverse

By now, virtually every software developer has heard of / known about . Twelve months ago, I did not know what it meant. Of course I knew all about how git can be used to save versions of your code but I did not think about how more than one person can work on the same code base. Pair-Programming I have spent months learning from open source platforms and tutorials, but I found that sometimes I lose the motivation to continue with the material after a couple of weeks. However, after a couple of months, I got an email. Enters …. Microverse Microverse is an online Software Development School that accepts students from all over the world and teaches them how to code, and how to work as part of a distributed network of developers. You will not pay until you get a job. You have to collaborate Pair Programming is one of the tenets of the program, you are paired with another student and the two of you do everything together (sort of like a ). You code together, debug together and deploy together (as they say in the service, you do not leave your partner behind). buddy system I have to get up everyday and be driven because I know that my partner needs me. Two heads are better than one Apart from being more fun to write code with a partner, I find out that I am making fewer mistakes compared to before I joined the program. Also, I learn and understand new concepts faster, and when mistakes are made, it is easy to spot and correct them. This is my first few weeks in the program and I am confident that things will continue to get better. So if you were in the same boat that I was in, and you are looking for an avenue to improve on your programming, here are few reasons why I think you should join the program. I found a new friend. I was accepted into a new family that helps one another. I learnt Ruby in 4 days (to put this in context, it took me weeks to learn my first language). I put in 8 hours days without feeling overworked. Anytime I think back and see the difference a few weeks have made in the way I write code, I am always happy that I opened that email.
