Google Analytics is a powerful tool, but extracting valuable and useful insights can often feel like pulling teeth—especially for beginners.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 3 actionable ways to use Google Analytics to improve SEO.
1. Find low-hanging opportunities to boost traffic
Consider whether a page is about a topic where freshness is a ranking factor. Second, if you see a significant organic traffic change to your homepage, it’s usually down to a fluctuation in the search volume of navigational queries. Maybe you went viral six months ago, and more people were Googling your brand, but then it naturally dropped back to the mean?
2. Find high-converting pages and improve their SEOThe ultimate goal of SEO is usually to drive more sales from organic search. One of the easiest ways to do that is to improve rankings for your most valuable pages.
Hit the “SERP” button and compare your page’s SEO metrics to those that outrank you. Take action to improve your page where it falls short.
3. Improve landing pages that contribute to conversionsPeople rarely land on websites they’ve never visited before and buy something right away. They go on a journey, often visiting multiple pages on your site in the process.
By default, Google Analytics credits 100% of the conversion to the last landing page the user visited (provided that it was a non-direct click). But the reality is that the person probably wouldn’t have converted if they didn’t read a blog post first. So technically, this page helped assist the conversion.
Improving SEO for these pages will probably lead to an increase in conversions and revenue.

If you were to describe your page in a few words and replace the spaces with hyphens, that would usually be “good enough” for SEO. But you’d probably prefer not to take a stab in the dark.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s run through a simple process for creating optimized URL slugs.
1. Remove special charactersHave you ever seen a URL with backslashes () or square brackets ([])? Probably not, because these are unsafe characters that don’t belong in URLs.
You should remove these for obvious reasons, but it’s also best practice to remove other special characters like commas, colons, semicolons, etc.
2. Remove superfluous informationGoogle says it’s good practice to make URLs as simple as possible.
So remove anything you don’t need from our potential URL.
Note that you’ll have to use common sense for this part. The aim is not to make your URL so short that it no longer accurately describes its content. It’s to remove unnecessary words and phrases.
3. Boil it down to a keywordMost titles naturally contain keywords, so what you’re probably left with at this stage is a simplified, keyword-rich version of your title.
This can lead to long URLs that get truncated in search results. The additional context can also be an issue should you ever want to update the page.
So, the next step is to find the keyword that represents the most popular way people search for your page’s topic.
4. Make it lowercaseMost web servers treat lower and uppercase URLs the same, but this isn’t always the case. Technically, everything after the hostname (domain) in a URL is case-sensitive, and some servers will treat them differently.
To be on the safe side and to avoid potential duplicate content issues, use lowercase URLs—always.

LinkedIn is talked about as an underrated platform. Like TikTok, LinkedIn posts can actually go viral. The thing is, you’re not going viral on a platform with all types of users. You’re going viral on a platform where everyone is there to talk about business.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 3 effective ways to increase impressions, engagement, and post clicks on LinkedIn.
#1: Find LinkedIn Posts in Previously Published ContentThe first step of creating LinkedIn content is realizing you don’t need to create LinkedIn content. You already have content that could be used on LinkedIn. It just hasn’t been put into a LinkedIn-friendly format. You just need to make your content native to the platform you’re posting on.
This means you don’t want to post a long, all text LinkedIn post to your Instagram stories.
#2: Create Downloadable Documents (Not Opt-In Lead Magnets)These aren’t lead magnets where users opt-in to your email list to get the resource. You’re just going to give them the resource. This may go against your marketing brain, but the data doesn’t lie.
Two million impressions and over 62,000 link clicks tell us this strategy is working. We’re establishing trust with our audience and showing them how much value we give away for free.
#3: Lean into Employee-Generated ContentEmployee-generated content gets higher engagement, follows, and conversions than branded content. Have your company’s leaders explain what employee-generated content is, how it can help the business, and what they’d love to see from employees in the future.

Organic search refers to the non-paid search results from a search engine. These results can’t be bought or influenced by advertisers; they’re the ones the search engine deems most relevant to the user’s search query.
What types of organic search results are there?Hi, Im Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at some types of organic search results.
Featured snippetsFeatured snippets are short snippets that briefly answer the searcher’s question. They appear at or near the top of Google’s organic search results and the snippet is pulled from one of the top-ranking results.
Video carouselsVideo carousels feature videos related to the search query. The entire carousel takes up one organic position.
Top storiesTop stories boxes feature recently published content about a topic. These usually show up in the organic results for newsworthy topics.
People also askPeople also ask (PAA) boxes show common questions that people also tend to search for. Each question is answered with a short excerpt pulled from a relevant page on the web.
Why is organic search important?Ranking in organic search for relevant keywords drives ‘free’ traffic to your website.
For example, the Ahrefs Blog gets an estimated 355,000 visits from organic search each month. If they had to pay Google for this traffic, it would cost them an estimated $946,000 per month.
Given that you have to create and produce content to rank in organic search results, the cost of traffic from organic search is never truly free. But it’s often the most cost-effective way of driving high-quality targeted traffic to a website.
Organic search is also important for anyone publishing videos on YouTube, as Google often ranks YouTube videos in their video carousels and featured snippets.
In other words, ranking your videos in Google can often send plenty of views your way.

App monetization is essential to the success of your mobile app. Whether you plan to charge for downloads or use subscription services to generate income, your app will never be profitable without a monetization strategy.
Hi I’m Cally, From the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 6 app monetization strategies you can use to ensure your app’s success.
1. Charge for the App in the App StoreCharging for app downloads is the oldest trick in the book. When apps were first introduced in the mobile world, the majority of them cost money to download.
This model is less popular these days, with many apps instead offering in-app purchases or subscription plans. That being said, depending on your target market, charging for your app may be a good strategy.
2. Offer Paid Premium AccountsThis strategy is often referred to as the “freemium model” as it offers free featuresfor all users, but enhanced features for those who choose to pay for a premium account.
In this model, you can attract users with a free download and then ask for payment for an enhanced experience.
3. In-App AdsRunning in-app ads is one of the most common app monetization strategies.
With this method, revenue is generated through sponsored ads, which allow the app to remain free for users. In a free model, users are incentivized to use your app. Plus, the more users you have, the more revenue your ads will generate.
4. SubscriptionsIn this model, your app can still be free to download, but different services will be offered to users that subscribe than to those who don’t.
Depending on the service your app offers, you may want to offer different kinds of subscriptionsbased on necessary features.
5. PartnershipsIf you already have an established app or a large user base, you may engage in strategic partnerships with known brands who want to connect with your audience.
Sponsorships help connect your audience to other relevant brands and can build brand integritythrough smart partnerships. On the sponsor’s side, they open up their advertising to new demographics and have the opportunity to push new content to interested consumers.
6. In-App PurchasesThis strategy can be especially useful if your app is free, as it offers a way to generate revenue without charging for your service.
If you want to leverage in-app purchases in your app monetization strategy, consider what features you can offer to enhance your user experience. Successful in-app purchases leverage gamification and offer benefits to the user.

As you are working on your website’s search engine optimization, keep in mind there are several types of bad backlinks you don’t want.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. These are five of the most significant types of backlinks to avoid.
1. Links From Spammy SitesThese are links back to your site from places you just don’t want to be associated with your brand. Your website could be receiving backlinks from these kinds of places and search engines may penalize you, especially if you start receiving tons of spammy backlinks.
If you’ve never researched your backlinks, now is the time. Use a Backlinks tool to get a list of backlinks to your site.
2. Links From Link-Mill WebsitesLink-mill websites or paid link schemes bring the number of backlinks many site owners think they need to up their SEO game. The problem is more links aren’t always a good thing, especially when they come from dubious sources like link mills.
Search engines keep getting smarter and no matter how clever the latest scheme seems, it’s going to be found out eventually.
3. PR Release LinksPress releases can be a source of bad backlinks. But that doesn’t mean every press release opportunity is going to penalize your website.
You should, however, avoid filling a press release page with dozens of keyword-heavy links back to your site and then spamming it to dozens of newswires. The problem really comes in when brands do this repeatedly, trying to build backlinks to up their SEO.
4. Links From Sites Unrelated to Your IndustryNot every backlink is a great one if it’s wildly irrelevant or from somewhere completely unrelated to what you do.
When you’re starting to build backlinks to your website from fields and industries not related to your own, it can create confusion.
5. Discussion Forum and Blog Comment LinksSearch engines can spot when backlinks are just keywords filled with linkson forum after forum. They are becoming smarter, thanks to AI and natural language processing,and notice when it’s not a conversation, but a broadcast.
As you research backlinks to your site, if you find a batch from any discussion forums, you can disavow them.

If you’ve ever juggled multiple Twitter accounts, you know how challenging it can be.
This is why it might be worth merging your Twitter accounts instead. By unifying your Twitter presence, you can strengthen your brand story and reach a wider pool of followers across two or more separate accounts.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here’s how to merge your Twitter accounts.
Merge Twitter Accounts Through Your DashboardWhile you can’t merge Twitter accounts, you can bring them together on your desktop or the Twitter mobile app. Log on to your account, click the “More” button on the right-hand sidebar, and click the little “+” symbol.
Next, click “Create new account” or “Add existing account” to proceed:
The process is similar for the iOS and Androidapps. You can add up to five accounts this way, so it’s a good tip to know about.
Communicate With Your FollowersTwitter’s not ideal for communicating lengthy statements, so pin posts from your website or other social media accounts to explain the situation.
Use the same messages, posted simultaneously, across both Twitter accounts to start building some brand continuity and consistency right away.
Use Twitter AdsIf you’re consolidating, you’re not just looking to hold onto existing followers. You’re looking for new customers, too. Consider launching Twitter ads and running them across both accounts.
Are Twitter ads really worth it, though? Absolutely.
For one thing, we’re seeing a 35 percent increase in ad engagement across Twitter, which means there’s an audience out there for your corporate ads. Plus, the average Twitter user enjoys targeted, highly specific content, which means promotional yet informative adscan offer users what they want.

If you’re looking to get into video marketing, there’s no better channel than YouTube. The good news is you don’t need to flood thousands of dollars in YouTube advertising.
Hi I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here’s how to create a good channel that constantly puts out quality content that people want.
Create a Great Channel Layout & Organize Your Youtube ContentThe first step to YouTube marketing is to have a great channel layout. When people come to your channel, they need to know what you’re about and what types of videos you have.
Create Regular YouTube Video ContentConsistently updating your channel with content will keep your channel feed active, increase your presence on YouTube, and help you build an audience.
You should aim for a minimum of one video per week, but the right amount of content depends on your audience, your goals, and your content.
Design The Right YouTube ThumbnailsDon’t skip this part. Choosing your YouTube thumbnail is just as, if not more, important than crafting a great title.
Cross-Promote with Other ChannelsTo increase your reach on YouTube, make it a priority to identify and reach out to other similar channels to cross-promote or collaborate in a mutually beneficial manner.
This doesn’t mean that you need a huge following on YouTube already. You can use your email list, social following, or even embed videos on your website to drive traffic.

You may be filled with questions, wondering how a chatbot can help when it comes to improving your marketing strategies.
What if my company is small? Are they still useful?
What can chatbots really do when it comes to adding valueor enhancing marketing strategies?
The answer is: Lots of things, actually.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 6 Reasons to use chatbots for your website.
1.Chatbots Simplify ThingsChatbots keep things easy for everyone involved. It may not be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat, but it will sure feel like magic to your customer, without the need to keep any difficult tricks or gimmicks up your sleeve.
Chatbots are tailored to providing information consumers are looking for. It’s their primary job focus and they do it well.
2. Chatbots Talk the TalkChatbots keep the conversation flowing the same way they conduct business: natural and organized.
Since bots aren’t human, they don’t have the emotional hang ups that humans deal with, allowing them to keep customers feeling cool, calm, and collected. This can diffuse some of the problems that arise from human error.
3. Chatbots Are Always There For UsChatbots are always there when you need them, day or night. Have an urgent question you need answered at two in the morning? Chatbots will be there waiting and willing to assist, guaranteed.
With a chatbot always on call and ready to help, you don’t need to hire around the clock support staff.
4. Chatbots Make Things BetterBots provide valuable customer service, support, comfort, and in some cases a dash of entertainment.
This in turns gives your online visitors and potential customers a more personalized and positive experience, making them feel valued and important.
Bots can answer questions promptly and effectively, especially those frequently asked ones. This is particularly helpful, considering many customers have the same inquiries when visiting your site.
5. Chatbots Convert Visitors Into CustomersChatbots respond with lightning fast speed, eliminating lost or misplaced leads.
Bots can schedule meetings and appointments on the spot, route potential clients or customers to members of the sales team, or even turn visitors into paying customers by helping them to purchase products or services.
Better yet, bots can handle the qualification process for you as well. By collecting data from the prospect’s visit, bots can separate qualified leads from those who aren’t. This drastically reduces dead end leads and wasting valuable company time.
6. Chatbots Build Brand TrustChatbots can build credibility and trust in your brand.
AI chatbots are often the first interaction a potential customer has with your brand, making it the perfect opportunity to educate the potential buyer about your products and what your services can do for them. Bots really make a positive impression, leading to a powerful bond between the consumer and your brand.

Certain Agile concepts and ideas have been part of the content marketing conversation for some time now. Scrum is one concept that’s often part of these conversations. But bundling it with Agile causes all kinds of confusion.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at a Scrum-based approach to content marketing.
Scrum benefits for content teamsThe iterative approach of Scrum gives the content marketing team clearly defined increments of work, which can be analyzed and modifiedquickly without wasting time on something that provides no value to the blog, the company, or the readers.
Organizing content workScrum provides a great structure for organizingthe work in a way that makes clear who is working on what and why something is being done.
product backlogThe product backlog is a prioritized list of everything needed for the product. For a content marketing team, that product may be successful content pieces that bring in leads and boost conversion rates (or anything else that your team is focusing on).
Sprint backlogWhen it’s time to start a new sprint, the development team pulls the product backlog items needed to reach the sprint goalinto the sprint backlog– a list of ordered PBIsto be worked on in that sprint.
Scrum meetingsScrum meetings are held regularly and help improve teamwork and the product.
Sprint planningThe sprint planning meeting happens before a sprint starts. At the planning meeting, the product owner suggests product backlog itemsthat the team should work on and the development team then discusses what to take on and the best way to do the work.
Daily ScrumDuring brief daily Scrum meetings, the team talks about what they’ve done, how everything is going, and what they plan to do that day. It’s the perfect opportunity for the team to identifypossible bottlenecks and impediments and come up with a way to resolve them.
Sprint reviewAfter the sprint, the Scrum team members meet to review the work accomplished. They talk about what they did well and what could be improved in future sprints. The sprint review is also the chance to showcase the team members’ work.
Sprint retrospectiveThe sprint retrospective focuses on how the team collaborated as a unit, the obstacles they ran into, and how they can become a more productive and collaborative team. The purpose is not to assign blame but to have a positive meeting that reinforces the feeling of belonging to an ever-improving unit.

Content marketing is, and has always been, best served as an integrated infusion into a broader marketing strategy. Content marketing is the opportunity to make everything we do better.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here is How Content Marketing Can Save Your Digital Marketing Strategy
Content strategy: The heart of a marketing strategy
Many marketing organizations seem stuck in a never-ending cycle chasing the needs of internal content/experience silos and enabling them with the technologies to optimize each separate layer of the customer’s journey.
In our work and research over the last decade, it is common to see multiple technology solutions managing data, activating content, and measuring consumption of the exact same content.
In today’s B2B marketing, for example, the lead generation strategy centers on customized content interactions that build trust over a long and complex buying journey. Paid digital media is driven by the need to stand out.
It promotes differentiating thought leadership contentmore and the buy-now call to action less. B2B marketing is becoming hyperfocused on targeting customized content into specific accounts.
When these activities work well, it’s because of a connected, cohesive strategic contentapproach that builds valuefor customers along their journey.
In other words, today’s integrated marketing strategystarts with a great content strategy. If we can get to a foundational and strategic content marketing approach – we may just find the heart of a central and integrated marketing strategy.

Most of you must have heard the term ‘social media ROI’. But what does it really mean? Broadly, social media ROI is the total of all the activities, efforts, investments and actions on social media that create value for your brand or business. This could be in the form of brand awareness, traffic to your website, sales through social media promotions, and of course, revenue.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are 4 Quick Steps To Define And Measure Social Media ROI For Your Business
1) Clear objectivesAligning social media strategy to business objectives is imperative. If your social media marketing objectives are not set in line with your brand or business goals, what’s the point? If your business wants to increase revenue, but your social media campaigns are targeted at only generating audience engagement without any Call To Action (CTA), your social strategy is completely wrong.
2) Be SMARTa) Specific: Do not leave any space for ambiguity. Get as specific as possible.
b) Measurable: Ensure that you set goals that you are able to measure. Intangible goals such as ‘increase excitement around the product’ will not give you specific numbers. Instead set goals that can be measured in numbers, graphs and metrics.
c) Attainable: Don’t let over ambition take over your excitement. Set goals that are attainable and realistic. Over-ambitious and unrealistic goals will only lead to disappointment.
d) Relevant: Keep it relevant and to the point. Ensure that your goals are aligned with your company’s objectives.
e) Timely: Follow timelines to the tee. Fix the date of commencement and end date. This will help you in measuring the ROI.
3) Measure these metrics● For engagement: likes, comments, clicks, shares, and brand mentions
● For reach: followers and impressions
● Make use of tools such as Google analytics, Facebook analytics and more
4) Keep track of expenses
Once you have set up your goals, started generating quality content, posted content and started seeing traction, make sure you keep a track of the expense to calculate how much your investment is returning to you.
Review performance and re-strategize if need be once you reach the end of a phase on the timeline. Rethink. Reflect.

Scrum Artefakte
Scrum se artefakte verteenwoordig werk of waarde. Dit is ontwerp om die deursigtigheid van sleutelinligting te maksimeer. Dus, elkeen wat hulle ondersoek, het dieselfde basis vir aanpassing.
Elke artefak bevat 'n verbintenis om te verseker dat dit inligting verskaf wat deursigtigheid en fokus verhoog waarteen vordering gemeet kan word:
● Vir die Produkagterstand is dit die Produk Doelwit
● Vir die Sprint-agterstand is dit die Sprint-doelwit
● Vir die Inkrement is dit die Definisie van Gedaan
Hierdie verbintenisse bestaan om empirisme en die Scrum-waardes vir die Scrum-span en hul belanghebbendes te versterk.
Produkagterstand
Die produkagterstand is 'n opkomende, geordende lys van wat nodig is om die produk te verbeter. Dit is die enigste bron van werk wat die Scrum-span onderneem.
Produkagterstande wat deur die Scrum-span binne een sprint gedoen kan word, word geag as gereed vir keuring tydens 'n Sprintbeplanningsgeleentheid. Hulle verkry gewoonlik hierdie mate van deursigtigheid nadat hulle aktiwiteite verfyn het.
Verbintenis: Produk Doelwit
Die Produkdoelwit beskryf 'n toekomstige toestand van die produk wat kan dien as 'n teiken waarteen die Scrum-span kan beplan. Die Produkdoelwit is in die Produkagterstand. Die res van die Produkagterstand kom na vore om te definieer wat die Produkdoelwit sal bereik.
Sprint-agterstand
Die Sprint-agterstand is saamgestel uit die Sprint-doelwit (waarom), die reeks produkagterstand-items wat vir die Sprint gekies is (wat), asook 'n plan vir die lewering van die toename (hoe).
Die Sprint-agterstand is 'n plan deur en vir die ontwikkelaars.
Die Sprint Doelwit is die enkele doewitl vir die Sprint. Alhoewel die Sprint-doelwit 'n verbintenis deur die ontwikkelaars is, bied dit buigsaamheid in terme van die presiese werk wat nodig is om dit te bereik. Die Sprint-doelwit skep ook samehang en fokus, wat die Scrum-span aanmoedig om saam te werk eerder as aan afsonderlike inisiatiewe.
Die Sprint-doelwit word tydens die Sprint Beplanning-byeenkoms geskep en dan by die Sprint-agterstand gevoeg.
Inkrement
'n Inkriment is 'n konkrete stap na die produkdoelwit. Elke inkrement is 'n toevoeging tot alle vorige inkremente en is deeglik geverifieer en verseker dat alle inkremente saamwerk. Om waarde te kan lewer, moet die Inkrement bruikbaar wees.
Werk kan slegs as deel van 'n toename beskou word, waneer dit aan die Definisie van Gedaan voldoen.
Verbintenis: Definisie van Gedaan
Die definisie van gedaan is 'n formele beskrywing van die toestand van die inkrement wanneer dit voldoen aan die kwaliteitsmaatreëls wat vir die produk benodig word.
Die oomblik dat 'n Produkagterstand-item aan die Definisie van Gedaan voldoen, lei dit tot 'n Inkrement.
Daar word van die ontwikkelaars verwag om aan die Definisie van Gedaan te voldoen.
Eindnota
Scrum is gratis en word in hierdie gids aangebied. Die Scrum-raamwerk, soos hier uiteengesit, is onveranderlik. Alhoewel dit moontlik is om slegs dele van Scrum te implementeer, is die resultaat nie Scrum nie. Scrum bestaan slegs in sy geheel en funksioneer goed as 'n houer vir ander tegnieke, metodologieë en praktyke.

Crafting #landing pages that convert is not hard, but the key doesn’t lie in creating these pages but making them effective. One must understand that it involves more than just simply designing something that looks good and gives customers what they want.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at 6 Tested Ingredients To Create #Landing Pages That Convert #Customers
1) Focus and purposeLike any and every job, a good #landing page has a clear focus on the job that needs to be done and a purpose to have such a landing page in the first place. Remember #customers come in all shapes and size, from all aspects of life and from various industries. We thus need to understand clearly what is the purpose of our #landing page and who do we want as our target audience.
2) The messageMake sure you remember what message you want to send out with your #landing page and make sure that is exactly what your landing page is portraying.
Don’t oversell or undersell yourself and make sure this message is not lost in translation. Set certain guidelines for your landing page and make sure you stick by it. Don’t blur the lines so as to get a few extra sales or customers.
3) Optimize your #SEOYour landing needs to be easily accessible to your audience and it also needs to be visible organically when they search for certain products on any search engine like Google.
For this, you need to identify your keywords well and find the right focus keyword which helps your customer find the product they are looking for.
4) Talk about your productIt’s important to illustrate your product well and the content on your #landing page should reflect exactly what it is.
You should also not forget the end-goal of getting the user what they want and directing them towards it.
5) Remove all the distractions and make it less intimidatingIt is important to remove all possible distractions from your landing page and make it as simple as you can for your customers. If your page is lengthy and has many options, it will become too daunting for visitors and they may move on to other options than move towards their final goal.
So keep your #landing page as simple as you can and offer options on supporting pages where they are required.
6) Design to convert to your segmented customer’s needIt is important to create your #landing page keeping in mind your segmented customer’s needs and making sure that it speaks to your base audience. Be clear about your base audience and their specific needs, and customize campaigns keeping them in mind.

Scrum Byeenkomstighede
Die Sprint is 'n houer vir alle ander geleenthede. Elke byeenkomstigheid in Scrum is 'n formele geleentheid om Scrum-artefakte te inspekteer en aan te pas. Hierdie geleenthede is spesifiek ontwerp om die vereiste deursigtigheid moontlik te maak. Versuim om enige byeenkomstigheid soos voorgeskryf te hou, lei tot verlore geleenthede om te inspekteer en aan te pas. Scrum byeenkomstighede word gebruik om n reëlmaat te bewerkstellig en om die behoefte aan vergaderings wat nie in Scrum omskryf word nie, te beperk.
Optimaal, word alle byeenkomstighede op dieselfde tyd en plek gehou om die kompleksiteit te verminder.
Die Sprint
Sprints is die hartklop van Scrum, waar idees in waarde verander word.
Dit is byeenkoms met 'n vaste tydperk van een maand of minder om konsekwentheid te skep. 'n Nuwe Sprint begin onmiddellik na afloop van die vorige Sprint.
Al die werk wat nodig is om die Produkdoelwit te bereik, insluitend Sprint Beplanning, Daaglikse Scrums, Sprint Hersiening, en Sprint Terugskou, vind binne Sprints plaas.
Tydens die Sprint:
● Geen veranderinge word aangebring wat die Sprint Doelwit in gevaar stel nie
● Kwaliteit daal nie
● Die Produkagterstand word verfyn soos nodig
● Die omvang kan met die Produk-eienaar uitgeklaar en heronderhandel word namate meer geleer word
Sprint Planning spreek die volgende onderwerpe aan:
Onderwerp Een: Waarom is hierdie Sprint waardevol?
Die Produk-eienaar stel voor hoe die produk se waarde en nut in die huidige Sprint verhoog kan word.
Onderwerp Twee: Wat kan in hierdie sprint gedoen word?
Deur besprekings met die Produk-eienaar kies die ontwikkelaars items uit die Produkagterstand om in die huidige Sprint in te sluit. Die Scrum-span kan hierdie items verfyn tydens hierdie proses, wat begrip en vertroue verhoog.
Onderwerp Drie: Hoe sal die gekose werk gedoen word?
Vir elke geselekteerde produkagterstand-item beplan die ontwikkelaars die werk wat nodig is om 'n toename te skep wat voldoen aan die definisie van gedaan.
Daaglikse Scrums verbeter kommunikasie, identifiseer hindernisse, bevorder vinnige besluitneming en elimineer gevolglik die behoefte aan ander vergaderings.
Die Daaglikse Scrum is nie die enigste geleentheid waar ontwikkelaars hul plan kan aanpas nie.
Sprint Hersiening
Die doel van die Sprint Hersiening is om die uitslag van die Sprint te inspekteer en toekomstige aanpassings te bepaal.
Die Scrum-span identifiseer die nuttigste veranderinge om die doeltreffendheid daarvan te verbeter. Die mees effektiewe verbeterings word so spoedig moontlik aangespreek. Hulle kan selfs by die Sprint-agterstand gevoeg word vir die volgende Sprint.
Die Sprint Terugskou sluit die Sprint af. Dit word tot 'n maksimum van drie ure vir 'n Sprint van een maand aangebied. Vir korter Sprints is die byeenkoms gewoonlik korter.

Scrum Waardes
Die suksesvolle gebruik van Scrum hang daarvan af dat mense vaardig raak in die uitvoering van vyf waardes:
Toewyding, fokus, openheid, respek en moed
Die Scrum-span verbind hul daartoe om hul doelwitte te bereik en mekaar te ondersteun. Hul primêre fokus is op die werk van die Sprint om die beste moontlike vordering in die rigting van hierdie doelwitte te maak.
Hierdie waardes gee rigting aan die Scrum-span met betrekking tot hul werk, optrede en gedrag. Die besluite en stappe wat geneem word en die manier waarop Scrum gebruik word, moet hierdie waardes versterk, nie verminder of ondermyn nie. Die lede van die Scrum-span leer en ondersoek die waardes terwyl hulle met die Scrum-byeenkomstighede en artefakte werk. Wanneer hierdie waardes beliggaam word deur die Scrum-span en die mense met wie hulle werk, word die empiriese Scrum-pilare van deursigtigheid, inspeksie en aanpassing beruik en vertroue opgebou.
Scrum Span
Die fondamentele eenheid van Scrum is 'n klein span mense, 'n Scrum-span. Hulle bestuur ook hulself, wat beteken dat hulle intern besluit wie doen wat, wanneer en hoe.
Die Scrum Span is klein genoeg om flink te bly en groot genoeg om belangrike werk binne 'n Sprint te voltooi, gewoonlik tien of minder mense. Oor die algemeen het ons gevind dat kleiner spanne beter kommunikeer en produktiewer is. As Scrum Spanne te groot word, moet hulle dit oorweeg om in verskeie samehangende Scrum Spanne te herorganiseer, wat elkeen op dieselfde produk gefokus is.
Ontwikkelaars is die mense in die Scrum Span wat daartoe verbind is om enige aspek van 'n bruikbare inkrement te skep in elke Sprint.
Die spesifieke vaardighede wat die ontwikkelaars benodig, is dikwels breed en sal afhang van die werkterrein. Ontwikkelaars is egter altyd verantwoordelikheid vir:
● Die maak van 'n plan vir die Sprint, en die Sprint-agterstand
● Kwaliteit aanbring deur die Definisie van gedaan te volg
● Daaglikse aanpassing van hul plan in die rigting van Sprint Doelwit
● Mekaar verantwoordelik hou as professionele persone
Produk Eienaar
Die produk-eienaar is verantwoordelik daarvoor dat die waarde van die produk as gevolg van die werk van die Scrum-span maksimaal benut word. Hoe dit gedoen word, kan baie verskil tussen organisasies, Scrum-spanne en individue.
Die produk-eienaar is ook verantwoordelik vir effektiewe produkagterstandbestuur, wat insluit:
● Die ontwikkeling en uitdrukking van die produkdoelwit
● Die skep en duidlike kommunikasie van produkagterstande
● Bestelling van die agterstande van produkte
● Om te verseker dat die produkagterstand deursigtig, sigbaar en verstaanbaar is
Die Produk-eienaar kan die bogenoemde werk self doen of die verantwoordelikheid aan ander delegeer. Ongeag, die produk eienaar bly aanspreeklik.
Scrum Meester
Die Scrum Meester is verantwoordelik vir die oprigting van Scrum soos omskryf in die Scrum Gids. Dit doen hulle deur almal te help om die Scrumteorie en -praktyk te verstaan, beide binne die Scrum Span en die organisasie.
Scrum Meesters is ware leiers wat die Scrum-span en die groter organisasie bedien.

Scrum Teorie
Scrum is gebaseer op empirisme en maer denke. Empirisme beweer dat kennis uit ervaring kom en besluite geneem moet word op grond van wat waargeneem word. Maer denke verminder vermorsing en fokus op noodsaaklikhede.
Scrum gebruik 'n iteratiewe, inkrementele benadering om die voorspelbaarheid te optimaliseer en om risiko's te beheer. Scrum betrek groepe mense wat gesamentlik alle vaardighede en kundigheid beskik om die werk te verrig en sodanige vaardighede te deel of te verwerf soos nodig.
Scrum kombineer vier formele geleenthede vir inspeksie en aanpassing in 'n byeenkoms, die Sprint. Hierdie byeenkomstighede werk omdat hulle die empiriese Scrum-pilare van deursigtigheid, inspeksie en aanpassing implementeer.
Deursigtigheid
Die ontluikende proses en werk moet sigbaar wees vir diegene wat die werk verrig, sowel as diegene wat die werk ontvang. Met Scrum is belangrike besluite gebaseer op die vermeende toestand van sy drie formele artefakte. Artefakte met lae deursigtigheid kan lei tot besluite wat waarde verminder en risiko verhoog.
Deursigtigheid maak inspeksie moontlik. Inspeksie sonder deursigtigheid is misleidend en verkwistend.
Inspeksie
Die Scrum-artefakte en die vordering in die rigting van ooreengekome doelwitte moet gereeld en noukeurig ondersoek word om moontlike ongewenste afwykings of probleme op te spoor. Om te help met inspeksie, bied Scrum kadens in die vorm van sy vyf byeenkomste.
Inspeksie maak aanpassing moontlik. Inspeksie sonder aanpassing word as sinneloos beskou. Skrum byeenkomste is ontwerp om verandering uit te lok.
Aanpassing
As enige aspekte van 'n proses buite die aanvaarbare perke afwyk, of as die gevolglike produk onaanvaarbaar is, moet die proses wat aangewend word of die materiaal wat vervaardig word, aangepas word. Die aanpassing moet so gou as moontlik gedoen word om verdere afwyking tot die minimum te beperk.
Aanpassing word moeiliker as die betrokkenes nie bemagtig of selfbestuur word nie. Daar word van 'n Scrum-span verwag om aan te pas die oomblik dat dit deur inspeksie iets nuuts leer.

A happy and satisfied customer always tells your success story. Most of the people make their purchase decision after reading positive customer reviews on the web.
Hi, I’m Cally, from the International Institute Of Digital Marketing. Let’s look at 5 tips on using customer reviews in marketing:1) Post Customer Reviews on Social Media PlatformsFacebook, Instagram, LinkedIn are popular social media platforms for customers to discuss and share their experience or submit reviews related to your products or services. Assemble and influencepositive customer reviews by sharing them on your business social media pages such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, etc.
2) Set Your Customer Reviews on Your Homepage
According to the research, 86% of customers want to see information about the product and services from real customers. This is a direct, yet powerful approach to give your website visitors a reason to continue discovering your site, and at last, your products and services.
3) Make a Customer Review Page on Your WebsiteTo prove the value of your brand and what you have to offer, the best people who can talk about your services are your happy customers.
A devoted customer review page on your website is a simple and best way to enable potential customers to understand feedback on your product from existing customers.
4) Share Customer Reviews in Marketing EmailsAs per research by Unbounce, more than 294 billion emails are sent every day. A common individual gets 72 emails for every day and spends up to 30% of their working day looking at their inboxes.
Counting customer reviews in your special marketing emails may urge your customers to make a purchase on your website.
5) Use Customer Reviews in Search AdsThese reviews can help show prospects how you measure up to customers’ outlooks. Also, new content all the time can help you to get Rich Snippets and Google Seller Ratings, accordingly improving your reflectivity on search indexes.
