What’s a team to do? They could ask their ScrumMaster to poke them every day, but their ScrumMaster would doubtlessly refuse. After all, only a manager constantly nudges a team like that — and a ScrumMaster is not a manager.

If only there was a free app that could ping you around the time of your choice, remind you to update your task board, and engage you with an Agile tidbit.

Lo and behold there is: visit UpdateTheCardWall.com, enter your email, and select a workday time window within which you want to receive your reminder. Alerts will arrive randomly within that window so you don’t expect and automatically ignore them!

As a bonus, with each alert users receive a link to a book, blog, or some other piece of Agile excellence.
