I literally said in a standup the other day,
I’m having trouble focusing, I think it’s the medication I’m on, but I need to take it easy for a few sprints until I get this under control.Great insights. Thanks.
And yes, we are only humans after all. That's some valuable information to share with any team.
About Agile:
http://agilemanifesto.org/ This seems to be the very first official site, dating back to 2001.
https://www.agilealliance.org/communities/ I'm not sure if the Signatories of the manifesto are related to this site, but it is a really comprehensive one with lots and lots of good resources for learning and getting involved.
