“On the mistakes of others”: what you need to know for the successful implementation of Service Desk. In this article, we tried to collect the most common errors when implementing the Service Desk service. We hope that the experience of those who “got the bumps” will help to avoid both banal and easily fixed, and quite serious problems. We explain why isolated implementation is not the best tactic; we discuss the “war with employees”, the distribution of workload and authority. In each of these points we give recommendations that are designed to improve the implementation of Service Desk.
Why Agile does not work and what to do about it. This is one of the most popular materials in our blog on Habré. Here, as in the material above, we analyze the failed approaches to the implementation of flexible development methodologies. We explain why Agile "does not start" due to communication problems, the distribution of roles in the team and the change in the usual approach to assessing the effectiveness of work processes. In addition, we are trying to show that the main thing in any project is people, and not some kind of hype methodology that everyone is talking about.
