Retool, for those who don’t know, is a low-code platform allowing even non-developers to build a web app. With a no/low code person (me) and a deeply experienced developer (the boyfriend), we thought this would be a cool new tool to learn. I’ve used Glide in the past, taking an excel sheet compiling a list of some of my knitting patterns and details of each pattern. Glide let me make an app with my only code experience being HTML.

I’ve realized that so much of my life is product and project management if I want to survive chaos with minimal difficulty. One example is home renos. Renovating requires product and project managing my own home. What is the theme for my home? What fix or renovation do we prioritize? How much are we willing to spend? What items should we buy higher quality/brand vs a good, generic, less expensive option?

I took the Professional Scrum Master I exam. Why? Because I want to be more agile. I have a lot of startup experience on almost every front, but as I tell people, I don’t do the programming. So, I decided to check out Scrum and certification. Ultimately, I chose Scrum.org’s certification. The exam is based on the Scrum Guide, a short 11 page PDF. You might think, the test must be easy then.
