Established by the National Park Service in 1972, Gateway National Recreation Area offers a unique collection of disparate maritime parklands that extend from Brooklyn, to Staten Island, and south to Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Due to the geographic expanse of Gateway NRA, our introduction to the area is separated into three overviews. This portion covers The Staten Island Unit, which is chiefly comprised of Great Kills Park and the Fort Wadsworth complex. We’ll cover the Sandy Hook and Jamaica Bay Units in forthcoming overviews.
At 500+ acres, Great Kills Park is the largest, and most remote, section of Gateway on Staten Island. Opened in 1949, following decades of construction, Great Kills Park was envisioned as an oceanside escape for mid-century urbanites flush with post-war disposable income. With its large protected harbor and expansive wetlands, Great Kills is regarded as a significant estuary for many species of fish and bird, including Osprey. On Crooke’s point—the slender peninsula that encloses the harbor—hikers and naturalists will find miles of walking paths and access to some nice sandy beaches.
Getting to Great Kills Park: Hikers should take note that inland sections of the park are closed due to an ongoing environmental cleanup. That being said, Great Kills Park is a great place to escape the city for a few hours. If driving, take Hylan Boulevard south to Buffalo Street. The park will be immediately to the east. If traveling by mass transit, take the Staten Island Rail to Bay Terrace station or take the S78 bus to Buffalo Street. Both are within easy striking distance of the park entrance. From there it’s a 15-minute walk to the beach and visitor center.
The Fort Wadsworth area, while smaller than Great Kills, receives significantly more traffic due to its easy access via the Verrazano Bridge, its proximity to the South Beach area, and its historical significance as a high-ground and important defensive position going back to at least the 17th-century. While little remains of that early period, visitors can still experience Fort Tompkins and Battery Weed–two well-preserved military structures from the early 1800s. Set on a verdant and elevated section of Staten Island, it’s easy to appreciate the strategic importance of the area during the nation’s early days.
In addition to visiting the historic buildings of Fort Wadsworth, this part of Gateway also offers some limited hiking, a beach to the south of the main parking lot, and importantly, the only camping within the Staten Island Unit. While the park maintains only 7 sites, they’re very pleasant; providing views of the Verrazano Bridge and the harbor, easy access to the beach and hot showers. Reservation for camping at Fort Wadsworth are made at recreation.gov for $20/night.
Getting to Fort Wadsworth: While visitors shouldn’t expect a great deal of solitude on their visit to the Wadsworth area, views of the lower bay and the open water of the Atlantic from the top of Fort Tompkins are stunning. If driving to Fort Wadsworth, follow signs towards the Staten Island side of the Verrazano Bridge and look for park signage immediately upon arriving. If using mass transit, take the Staten Island Rail from St. George Ferry Terminal to Grasmere and walk the 15 minutes to the park. If taking the bus from St. George, catch the S51 for the 1-mile ride to the park’s guard station. From there it’s a quick 5-minute walk.
If you’re feeling ambitious, consider taking a walking tour of the entire Staten Island Unit of Gateway via the shoreline. We’d suggest starting your trek at Great Kills, as it’s the most exposed park of the hike (best to experience this area in the cool of the morning). From there, walk north along the beach. For the first 30 minutes you’ll have the shoreline much to yourself. At about mile 1.5 from Great Kills you’ll have to cross a small stream of treated runoff that empties into the Atlantic. The best way to do this is to make your way over the wood pilings that are set at the terminus of the stream close to the water. If doing this, we’d suggest taking along some Purrell, or similar hand sanitizer, to use once across (we’re suggesting this since you’ll be bisecting an area that’s come in contact with treated municipal water).
Beyond the stream you’ll follow a long, winding, beach all the way to Miller Field, a defunct mid-century airbase that’s also part of Gateway NRA. From there, you could walk either along the beach or take the path that runs along the treeline and the sand. After one mile, the path becomes the South Beach Boardwalk (Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Beach)–a bustling, sea-side, resort area. Once on the boardwalk, expect lots of people, a couple beach-side bars and more exposure—it’ll be hot on the boardwalk during the summer months, so bring a hat and sunscreen.
Beyond the 1.5 mile-long boardwalk, you’ll see signs for the Fort Wadsworth area. During hot days, this treed oasis provides a welcomed respite. Take the path through the park where you’ll peep some nice shady beaches and interesting views of the Verrazano Bridge. Eventually you’ll come across the campground. Feel free to take in the excellent views from the small manicured lawn beyond the 10-car parking lot. Continue along the path where you’ll eventually pass under the bridge and immediately see the Fort Wadsworth complex. After you’ve taken in the vistas and are ready to call it a day, continue along the path till you get to the National Park Service office for Gateway. Once there, take a left and walk along the road (.25 miles) till you get to the guard station. From here you may want to ask the attendant for directions to the S51 bus stop.

"If you observe the onset of sudden dog stomach pain, and see symptoms such as s painful, tense abdomen it could indicate a condition that is life threatening. The abdomen can be in pain, distended, inflamed, or there could be an insufficient supply of blood to the abdomen (called ischemia). Older dogs have a higher frequency of problems such as a malignant tumor (cancerous) while young dogs could have an injury, dietary problem, infection or intestine problems.
If you only see diarrhea with no changes in the abdomen, this is usually self limiting and will resolve on its own and is usually not life threatening. The exception is diarrhea that contains a significant amount of blood. If there is just a bit of blood, the problem could be colitis from stress and is not as serious as blood red diarrhea. If you see vomiting and diarrhea, or vomiting more than 2 to 3 times in a row, then consult with a veterinarian."
Gaseous distention of a significant portion of the small intestine. However the distension is not considered sufficient to warrant a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. One loop of bowel is more distended than the others and partial obstruction should be considered. There is a large amount of material in the stomach.
Two breeds are at higher risk for dog stomach pain.
Dalmatians: Males are at higher risk for a urethral obstruction. This is caused by higher incidences of urate urinary calculi (urinary stones).
German Shepherds: Dogs diagnosed with pancreatic atrophy have a heightened risk of a condition called mesenteric volvulus (twist in the fold that attaches the small intestine to the abdominal all). The twist causes an intestinal obstruction or blockage.
Dogs on corticosteroids and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are at risk for gastrointestinal ulcers perforations.
Given the many possible causes for a dog stomach pain, the veterinarian will seek to eliminate those that are most common. To do this a series of tests are conducted such as blood tests (CBC) and urine test (urinalysis).
Test results could indicate the underlying cause. For example a low number of white blood cells indicate inflammation and an infection. A gastrointestinal ulcer is detected by low red blood cell counts.
X-Rays can find any masses or abnormality in organ shape. It can also detect fluid accumulation. High gas levels could indicate an infection or a ruptured gastrointestinal tract. An Ultrasound test is used to find any abdominal masses, fluids, cysts, abscesses or urinary stones.
Testing abdominal fluid using a test called amniocentesis is used on dogs with sudden abdominal pain.
Foreign bodies can sometimes be found by palpitating the abdomen (touching the abdomen from outside the body).
If the cause cannot be determine with testing, a veterinarian may want to explore the abdomen surgically.
A specific diagnosis of the underlying cause is needed before treatment can begin. Until the cause is determined, the Vet will address any symptoms such as pain relief (analgesics). Gas production can be reduce with histamine H2 antagonists.
The Vet will also determine if emergency intervention or surgery is needed.
For symptoms such as vomiting, nothing by mouth is recommended until the underlying cause is determined. If there is fluid loss, intravenous therapy is needed.

text: Creek Road is the redevelopment of near-derelict buildings that included a former bookshop and adjacent house into a mixed-use proposal. Through an efficient process of testing and retesting our proposals in sketches and quick visualisations we were able to maximise the potential for the site with a new 4-5 storey building that resulted in resounding support from the Local Planning Authority, with full planning permission granted in May 2017. The proposals include a mix of dwellings including larger family duplex units, together with smaller units, but all provided with roof terraces or integral balconies that were used to generate a robust yet carefully designed masonry form. At ground floor and basement levels, commercial and ancillary spaces are located that also continue the new ribbon of activity along Creek Road.

How do we love thee, oysters? Let us count the ways. There’s a reason oysters are a permanent fixture on Valentine’s Day menus! They’re one of the most famous aphrodisiacs and have a reputation for love and fertility.
If you’re looking to spark some romance this year, make this delicious and easy recipe for Baked Oysters Florentine, courtesy of Marcia Selden Catering.
Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat, when butter has melted add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Add white wine and baby spinach and cover with a lid. Let steam until spinach has wilted, about 4 minutes. Remove lid and stir until all liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes more.
Add cream and parmesan cheese to the spinach mixture, remove from heat and allow to cool. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide spinach mixture between shucked oysters (about 1 tablespoon per oyster). Place oysters in roasting pan or sheet pan and place in preheated oven until breadcrumbs are brown, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

You control every job interview. Think about it. When you meet any interviewer, you make a first impression. Whether it’s positive or negative, the interviewer will look for things in your responses that support that first impression.
How do you make a positive first impression? Start by remembering that an interview is a fragrance-free zone. You don’t know if an interviewer is allergic to, or offended by, strong scents. In my corporate VP days, I remember interviewing Joe, whose résumé shouted “Superman Salesman.” That was just what I needed. His after shave hung like a cloying shroud around him. Before he shook my hand, I created a first impression: His after shave was Kryptonite and he had no clue. My boss stopped by an hour later and asked who had bathed in after shave.
Chuck, another “Superman Salesman” (at least according to his résumé), had another form of Kryptonite — body odor (and real dirt under his fingernails). His stockyard odor, though different from Joe’s after shave, had the same effect: No Sale!
Then there was Connie, a candidate to replace my assistant; her handshake included a flowery-scented lotion that transferred to my hand. I had to wash my hands twice to get the bouquet off. Jangly jewelry needs to stay home, too. It can be a distraction. Connie earned “Strike 2” when she was gesturing with her hands; the bangles she wore clanged like cymbals.
I could have hired any of them and then tried to talk with them about “issues”. But why should an employer hire people that it would have to counsel when there was pool of candidates that “fit” immediately. Why take a risk that they would change?
You also don’t know if the interviewer has a “thing” about smokers. So if you’re a smoker, make sure your clothes don’t reek of smoke. Spray them with a non-scented deodorizer – like the kind used to vanquish pet odors from furniture and carpeting.
Even in this day of business casual, how you dress creates a powerful first impression. A suit always makes the best impression. Shine those shoes, too.
Now you’re dressed and ready to go. Or are you? 1) Have you checked out the route so you won’t be late? I know an HR manager who scheduled interviews at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. because she knew that a train crossed the road in front of her plant at 9:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. If you were late, you didn’t even get an interview. Her reasoning spoke to the “planning” attributes of a candidate. 2) Do you have some questions that you can ask the interviewer about the company? You’ll need them to shift an interview from interrogation to conversation. Good questions show that you’ve done your homework – that always scores point in an interview. The questions are important for another reason: you’re interviewing the company to see if it fits you.
When you are introducing yourself, smile, make eye contact and make a firm handshake. When you take a seat, don’t slouch. If you have “happy” hands or feet, quiet them by opening a portfolio across your lap to take notes. Added benefit: Taking notes scores points.
Now it’s time to reinforce that positive impression. In Round 1, many of the questions you’re asked relate to your résumé, your marketing brochure. You need to know it backwards and forwards. Listen closely to the questions; if you have ANY doubt about what’s being asked, respond with a clarifying question. When you answer, continue eye contact and smile as you talk. The smile keeps you talking slowly.
Leave the way you entered: a smile, eye contact and a firm handshake.

 Now you ’re dressed and ready to go . Or are you ? 1 ) Have you checked out the route so you wo n’t be late ? I know an HR manager who scheduled interviews at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. because she knew that a train crossed the road in front of her plant at 9:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. If you were late , you did n’t even get an interview . Her reasoning spoke to the “ planning ” attributes of a candidate . 2 ) Do you have some questions that you can ask the interviewer about the company ? You ’ll need them to shift an interview from interrogation to conversation . Good questions show that you ’ve done your homework – that always scores point in an interview . The questions are important for another reason : you ’re interviewing the company to see if it fits you .
 When you are introducing yourself , smile , make eye contact and make a firm handshake . When you take a seat , do n’t slouch . If you have “ happy ” hands or feet , quiet them by opening a portfolio across your lap to take notes . Added benefit : Taking notes scores points .
 Now it ’s time to reinforce that positive impression . In Round 1 , many of the questions you ’re asked relate to your résumé , your marketing brochure . You need to know it backwards and forwards . Listen closely to the questions ; if you have ANY doubt about what ’s being asked , respond with a clarifying question . When you answer , continue eye contact and smile as you talk . The smile keeps you talking slowly .
 Leave the way you entered : a smile , eye contact and a firm handshake .

text: This paper presents findings from a qualitative study which sought to identify antecedents of dependency upon relationship partners. The study was set within the context of legal service provision and compares the impact that the antecedent factors might have on the development of client dependency within commercial and private client relationships. The findings provide insight into differences between the way in which lawyers currently manage commercial and private client relationships which may directly influence the development of differential levels of client dependency the study concludes that, as a consequence of environmental and lawyer-based antecedents, commercial clients are more likely to be dependent upon lawyers than private clients are. Potential strategies to increase dependency among commercial clients as well as private clients are mooted and propositions to guide a future empirical study are provided.

text: We received information from a foreigner concerning a baby gibbon being carried around streets close to the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. The WRRT went in search but were unable to find the animal. However following an investigation by WRRT assistant manager, Dara, the infant was seen inside the house of a former high ranking official in Stung Treng province. The team tried unsuccessfully to persuade the owner to donate the gibbon – the normal procedure in such a case. However the following day the owner donated the gibbon, which was immediately transported to our Nursery at PTWRC.

SPARTAK MOSCOW have found themselves in trouble with UEFA yet again after incidents during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool in the Champions League.
Fans let off smoke bombs and fireworks at the Otkritie Arena and displayed illicit banners that read 'UEFA Mafia', while also blocking stairways and singing provocative chants.
The Russian club are already in hot water with Europe's governing body for their supporters actions against Maribor two weeks ago.
A flare set off from one of the Spartak fans in their Group E clash in Slovenia narrowly missed the referee.
While police also fought with the Moscow faithful against Maribor.
Massimo Carrera's side have already had their away tickets allocated for the away match against Sevilla stripped.
And they have found themselves facing more punishment from UEFA for fan behaviour against the Reds.
A huge banner read "Win or Die" behind one goal, though thankfully there was not any violence between both sets of supporters.
UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body will decide on October 19 if Spartak will face any action.
Jurgen Klopp's side returned from Russia with a point, after Philippe Coutinho equalised for Liverpool.
Spartak have drawn their opening two Champions LEague matches 1-1 and sit third in the group.

Bad Words: Screen Story #20: "Refuge"
This story comes from a piece I saw on a network TV news magazine many years ago. It was a story about two retarded adults (who even called themselves "retarded") who continued to have baby after baby, supported by the state. Some of the children were mentally disabled like their parents and some were normal. When the mother was asked why they continued to have children when they knew some of them would come out diabled, the woman replied that it was okay because, "Them's that's not retarded will take care of them's that is."
One of the normal kids, a girl of about 14, had burned out of the family and was now living in foster care. The show tried to interview her, but she froze up in front of the camera and didn't have much to say.
The library is my own addition, because I think it is a savior for many kids with dysfunctional families.

Are you a current health insurance plan leader with the desire to engage in a discussion about where the industry is going and your role in its future? Apply today. All applications and supporting information must be received by AHIP on or before March 28, 2019 to be considered. The new incoming 2019-20 class will be announced in April, 2019.
In this program, you will meet and have meaningful interactions with health plan and health care colleagues from across the country you wouldn’t otherwise meet. It provides you with the opportunity to expand your knowledge of the industry through first-hand conversations with others facing similar challenges.

What do you think you bring to the ELP program?
What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses as a leader? How would your supervisor answer this question? How would your direct reports answer this question?
Think back to an instance of strong disagreement or conflict with a colleague or team member during a meeting. Explain how you handled the situation. Do you think it was the right way to handle it? Why or why not? If it were to happen again, would you handle it the same way? Why or why not?

Self-righteousness -- Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees!--Luke 12:1.
The most righteous person there at the Temple that day was not the very holier-than-thou, self-righteous, hypocritical Scribe and Pharisee who kept the jot and the tittle of the law, who even when he went to pick mint and anise out of his garden, would pluck off ten percent to make sure that he tithed properly and all that sort of thing. (Matthew 23:23) But Jesus had to tell His disciples, "This seemingly righteous Pharisee is not the most righteous!--But the more righteous of the two is this poor publican and sinner!"--A tax collector, who to the Jews was the worst kind of a character they could possibly imagine! They were usually extortionists, cheaters and robbers of the poor!--Franchised tax collectors for the Romans, considered traitors to their brethren! The Romans would tell'm how much taxes they needed and how much people had to pay Caesar, and then they could charge whatever they wanted to more than that for their OWN income. So they were hated by their Jewish brethren, considered the scum of the Earth!
So here was this poor tax collector in the Temple praying, "Lord, be merciful unto me, a sinner!" And what did Jesus say to these Jewish followers of His? "Which one do you think is the most righteous?--It's this poor tax collector who knows he's a sinner and is asking for forgiveness!"
In the sight of God there is no worse pride than self-righteous religious pride!--The self-righteous, Pharisaical, proud, religious person who "thanks God he's not as other men" or as other women, and looks down on them because they don't have as much faith as HE has, and they don't do this or they don't do that!--Those self-righteous proud hypocrites who are so proud of their own success and righteousness and look down on the other guys! They are the most hard and intolerant people that you could possibly run into! They have no MERCY, no compassion, no sympathy for the poor guys who really haven't got it, can't make it, etc.
Everybody's bad except those who have faith and have the goodness of GOD, the love of GOD and the righteousness of GOD! God's Word says that all other righteousness, Man's righteousness, your own righteousness, your own goodness, is like filthy, sickening menstruous RAGS! "We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags!" (Isa.64:6)--In other words, God says if you don't have HIS goodness, which is true goodness, true holiness, real love, real mercy, you have nothing, even WORSE than nothing!--You're a filthy rag!
When I looked up the Hebrew word "ayd," which is translated "filthy" in our King James version of the Bible, I found that it literally means "soiled or filthy from the menstrual flux"! In other words, God's Word literally says that YOUR righteousness, YOUR goodness, is like filthy, menstruous rags!--Like a woman's used Kotex!--That's how God looks on the so-called "good" people, the people who pride themselves in being better than others: "I'm good, I'm better than you, I don't do this, I don't do that!" Man's own righteousness, self-righteousness, Man's own self-goodness, in the nostrils of God stinks like a woman's Kotex! That's how bad He made it sound!
So who were really the filthiest sinners of all in Jesus' time?--The poor filthy publicans and "bad" people who prayed, "Lord, be merciful to me a sinner!"--Or the hypocritical Pharisaical religious systemites who said, "We don't need cleaning up!"--And crucified Him for exposing their well-covered filth!--They were the filthiest of all!--And the same is true TODAY!--The WORST filth in God's eyes is that God-damned self-righteousness and hypocrisy!
He told them to their faces, "Verily I say unto you, the Publicans and the harlots will go into the Kingdom of God before you!" (Matthew 21:31) And He told His disciples, "For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven!" (Matthew 5:20)--In other words, unless you're better than THEY are, you'll never get to Heaven! And the only way you can be better than they is to have CHRIST'S righteousness. Because they were as good as you could get in the natural without the help of the Lord, which was pretty bad!
It almost makes you feel better to know you're bad, to admit you're not good. After all, God said so, nobody's good! That's why the worst kind of people in the sight of God are the self-righteous hypocrites who pretend to be good and look down on everybody else!

tokenized:
Self - righteousness -- Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees!--Luke 12:1 .
 The most righteous person there at the Temple that day was not the very holier - than - thou , self - righteous , hypocritical Scribe and Pharisee who kept the jot and the tittle of the law , who even when he went to pick mint and anise out of his garden , would pluck off ten percent to make sure that he tithed properly and all that sort of thing . ( Matthew 23:23 ) But Jesus had to tell His disciples , " This seemingly righteous Pharisee is not the most righteous!--But the more righteous of the two is this poor publican and sinner!"--A tax collector , who to the Jews was the worst kind of a character they could possibly imagine ! They were usually extortionists , cheaters and robbers of the poor!--Franchised tax collectors for the Romans , considered traitors to their brethren ! The Romans would tell'm how much taxes they needed and how much people had to pay Caesar , and then they could charge whatever they wanted to more than that for their OWN income . So they were hated by their Jewish brethren , considered the scum of the Earth !
 So here was this poor tax collector in the Temple praying , " Lord , be merciful unto me , a sinner ! " And what did Jesus say to these Jewish followers of His ? " Which one do you think is the most righteous?--It 's this poor tax collector who knows he 's a sinner and is asking for forgiveness ! "
 In the sight of God there is no worse pride than self - righteous religious pride!--The self - righteous , Pharisaical , proud , religious person who " thanks God he 's not as other men " or as other women , and looks down on them because they do n't have as much faith as HE has , and they do n't do this or they do n't do that!--Those self - righteous proud hypocrites who are so proud of their own success and righteousness and look down on the other guys ! They are the most hard and intolerant people that you could possibly run into ! They have no MERCY , no compassion , no sympathy for the poor guys who really have n't got it , ca n't make it , etc .
 Everybody 's bad except those who have faith and have the goodness of GOD , the love of GOD and the righteousness of GOD ! God 's Word says that all other righteousness , Man 's righteousness , your own righteousness , your own goodness , is like filthy , sickening menstruous RAGS ! " We are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags ! " ( Isa.64:6)--In other words , God says if you do n't have HIS goodness , which is true goodness , true holiness , real love , real mercy , you have nothing , even WORSE than nothing!--You're a filthy rag !
 When I looked up the Hebrew word " ayd , " which is translated " filthy " in our King James version of the Bible , I found that it literally means " soiled or filthy from the menstrual flux " ! In other words , God 's Word literally says that YOUR righteousness , YOUR goodness , is like filthy , menstruous rags!--Like a woman 's used Kotex!--That 's how God looks on the so - called " good " people , the people who pride themselves in being better than others : " I 'm good , I 'm better than you , I do n't do this , I do n't do that ! " Man 's own righteousness , self - righteousness , Man 's own self - goodness , in the nostrils of God stinks like a woman 's Kotex ! That 's how bad He made it sound !
 So who were really the filthiest sinners of all in Jesus ' time?--The poor filthy publicans and " bad " people who prayed , " Lord , be merciful to me a sinner!"--Or the hypocritical Pharisaical religious systemites who said , " We do n't need cleaning up!"--And crucified Him for exposing their well - covered filth!--They were the filthiest of all!--And the same is true TODAY!--The WORST filth in God 's eyes is that God - damned self - righteousness and hypocrisy !

This post is a re-print of my article originally appearing on the Scrum Alliance website on 3 March 2011.
As an external coach, I am often brought in to teach a new team the Scrum framework and to personally coach the ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Scrum Development Team Members in their new roles. However, the coaching does not stop with the Scrum Team. Scrum does not limit its organizational impact to just the Scrum Team. Therefore, coaching must also extend beyond the team. To explore this extension, let’s look at an example of a traditional role often shaken up by the introduction of Scrum, the Resource Manager, and how coaching might impact this individual’s development path.
In organizations that use a matrix or pool for staffing, the Resource Manager allocates people to projects, while balancing capacity, availability, and demand. Resource Managers are often faced with more demand than supply. This imbalance results in the Resource Manager assigning individuals to 2 or more initiatives simultaneously. The pressure to spread people across multiple projects is increased further in organizations that reward high “utilization.” Since the individual projects start and stop on various dates, the Resource Manager has a busy job planning who is to be working on what projects at what time. The work is complex and the job thankless, but that is why the Resource Manager is paid the big bucks.
Enter Scrum. Scrum initiatives are often staffed with dedicated teams. In other words, the individuals on the core team are fully allocated to the team. If the Scrum adoption starts with a single pilot project, this dedicated team usually has a limited impact on the staffing pool and the project portfolio. Some other projects may be delayed and some people outside the Scrum pilot may take on more work — inconvenient, yes, but workable.
The problem for the Resource Manager arises when the pilot is successful and more initiatives are launched using Scrum. Each of these new efforts demands its own dedicated team. As the number of dedicated teams grows, the complexity of the Resource Manager’s high paying job dwindles to the point of becoming trivial. The role of Resource Manager as master of a staffing shell game is no more. The Resource Manager’s problem now is how to remain relevant to the organization.
For the Resource Manager, this shift can be scary. What does a Resource Manager do when the job becomes trivial? How long will the organization continue to pay big bucks for this job? At this point, the Resource Manager may be thinking only of how to preserve his or her job. The job of the coach is to help this individual work through this problem. For one Resource Manager, who we will call Paul, here is how the coaching process played out.
In a conversation with Paul, he revealed that he actually hated his job. Paul had been promoted into a management position only because he had hit the top of his pay scale and the organization was afraid that they might lose him to the competition. Paul’s real passion was in technology. He found no satisfaction in moving assignments around in a spreadsheet. Paul’s only contact with the technology now was from a distance. Dealing with the politics of too much demand for too little supply took most of his attention. The only part of the job Paul liked was getting to know the people in his staffing pool and helping them develop professionally.
With some encouragement, Paul described his ideal job. What he really wanted to do was to mentor technical employees and create a learning environment where employees could develop and share technical skills and knowledge. Paul wanted to combine his technical knowledge and his people skills to improve the technical competence of the entire organization by encouraging learning and sharing across teams.
Following our conversation, Paul proposed a new position to his manager. Noting that the creation of dedicated cross-functional teams had broken down the traditional organizational silos based on job function, he argued there was now a need for a position to support technical cohesion and collaboration across the organization. This new position would focus on individual and team professional development and organizational learning. The new role would be a sort of internal consultant who would ensure cross-pollination of technical ideas and competencies across teams. Ultimately, Paul got his new position and helped establish a new non-management promotion path for technical workers in his organization.
Paul was successful in figuring out how to navigate the changing organizational landscape. Coaching didn’t solve Paul’s problem. Rather, coaching helped Paul figure it out for himself.
It is easy to underestimate the seismic shift people throughout an organization experience as the development processes and underlying organizational structures react to changes made in response to Scrum’s inspect and adapt cycle. Paul, our Resource Manager, is but one example. People in leadership, portfolio management, operations, finance, customer support, audit, marketing, sales, and so forth all feel the impact. Coaching doesn’t stop at the Scrum Team boundary — organizational change requires coaching beyond the team.
