How to reward a team

I regulary read Coding Horror a blog about programming and related business topics.  On the most recent blog entry On Our Project, We’re Always 90% Done  a number of great ideas about project management, software books, etc were mentioned.

However, a very interesting article on team compensation was mentioned written by Mary Poppendieck, it can be found here.

Not sure exactly how this applies to my current job immdeatly, but learning to be a manager compensation is always an item for discussion.

 

Coffee, not so good, not so bad for you

As many of you know I really like coffee and drink a fair amount each day. Probably close to 10 cups on average. I was reading a NY Times article that was listing all the myths, misunderstandings, and actual benefits to coffee You can check it out here.

Bottom line from this article and a few others I have read. Coffee is not a wonder drug, but it is also not terrible for you health. It will make you a little bit more alert, have a few limited positive impacts on your health, and isn’t likely to give you cancer.

Well, all this is true until the next study comes out:)
