e.g. Small Project Requests that do not go through the formal funding approval process, are not cross functional and do not require hardware or software purchase, i.e. report modification, change to a batch program, etc.
Non-Discretion

SupportTime spent on supporting normal daily operations, i.e. "Keep the lights on" activities.
e.g. Application Support, Database Support, any activities you perform for your role or team for Keeping the Lights On
AdministrativeTime spent on activities required of all the IT Associates not specifically related to Projects, Enhancements, or Support.
e.g. Mandatory Training, Non-Project Travel, Performance Evaluations (employee only).

November 9th Meeting
How's your Agile adoption doing? We all know change in organizations is notoriously difficult. A collection of powerful forces routinely conspire, to thwart and impede even the very best of intentions.

November 9th Meeting
Given these Agile-adoption dynamics, how can we do better? Perhaps the concept of invitation can help. Invitation creates a powerful dynamic of engagement. When a person says yes to an invitation, powerful and positive energies are instantly created. These energies manifests as agreement, engagement, membership and potentially, deep alignment.
