Agile teams are designed to be flexible and collaborative, but that does not mean everyone does everything. To stay effective, Agile teams rely on well-defined roles that help organize work, support decision-making, and keep projects moving forward. While different Agile frameworks may use slightly different role names, three key responsibilities exist in almost every Agile team: the product owner, the development team, and the scrum master.

HMAC, short for Hash-based Message Authentication Code, is a method used to check that a message is both authentic and unmodified. It's a common tool in webhooks, APIs, and any place where secure communication between systems matters. The idea behind HMAC is to use a shared secret key along with a hashing algorithm to create a unique signature for a message. This signature acts like a stamp of trust, if anything changes in the message or if the wrong key is used, the signature won't match.

The way teams build products, develop software, and manage projects has changed a lot over the years. Traditional project management methods often struggle to keep up with shifting priorities, unexpected challenges, and fast-moving markets. That's where Agile comes in. Originally designed for software development, Agile has grown into a popular way of working across different industries. But what does it really mean to be Agile?

A sitemap is a tool that helps organize and communicate the structure of a website. It acts as a blueprint, providing information about how pages, content, and resources on a site are connected. Sitemaps are vital for improving navigation, ensuring search engines can properly index your site, and enhancing the overall user experience. Whether you’re managing a personal blog or a large-scale e-commerce platform, understanding sitemaps is crucial for maintaining an efficient and accessible online presence.

Google has made a significant change to its Workspace suite, offering all its AI features - previously exclusive to the Gemini Business plan - at no extra cost. Until recently, users needed to pay an additional $20 per user per month to access these tools within Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and other apps. Now, these features are included for free, signaling Google’s push to stay competitive with Microsoft, OpenAI, and others in the race to deliver the most advanced AI-powered office suite.
