Hardly a non-job. Country would grind to a halt without them.
I share Prop Joe's view that you are a bot. If not you have a lot to learn about the nuances of this Board.
I am Loincloth Lenny but was converted to a bot Express by an A1 thing it seems. I have tried changing my username but it ain’t having it. Can bots operate from a Lidl Carpark?

Most life coaches I have met look like they need to sort their own out first.

Should've just stopped at accountants, all of the bastards. Especially the ones who help rich gits dodge their taxes. Put them against a wall and shoot the lot of them.
Accountants spot loopholes , they do not tax dodge.

True - nowt wrong with a good ‘waterfall’.

Don’t worry, most will not know. But I applaud its inclusion here.

It’s all about various ‘fast-track’ ways of doing projects in the work place - generally IT.

Scrum and Agile are relatively new approaches and often frowned upon by us oldies as ‘cheap and nasty’.

I suggest a strong coffee, keep scrolling and forget alllll about it :-)

Just Googled it.
It's making lists of jobs to be done and allocating them.
I can do that and I'm not very agile anymore.

Corporate Mandatory Training trainers.

We all know that corporate mandatory training is a load of codswallop. Whatever the subject matter, anyone who isn't already competent is hardly going to suddenly become proficient just because they spent a day putting post-it notes on a white board. And it's just a way for a company to claim it has discharged it's duties to a reasonable extent and push some of the liability on the employees.

Many, many years back John Cleese led some training videos named ‘Meetings, bl@@dy meetings!’ They were very good.
