In agile is alles anders (paradoxaal leervermogen)Martien van Steenbergen

��

Om meteen maar met een paar paradoxen in huis te vallen: Agile kenmerkt zich onder andere door “minder doen, meer bereiken ” en “bezint terwijl ge begint”. Zo kunnen we nog wel even doorgaan. Ga mee op ontdekkingsreis door het land der wendbare paradoxen en sprokkel met zijn allen de belangrijkste bij elkaar. Welke zijn de meest krachtige paradoxen, wat heb je er in de praktijk aan en waarom ervaren wij ze als paradox en hoe krijg je de leiding en je omgeving hieronder mee? Als alles anders is, verander dan alles. Talk at Agile Consortium Annual Conference, November 2, 2017, Driebergen, Netherlands. http://jaarcongresnl2017.agileconsortium.net

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray

��

1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework. 2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections. 3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
