Google AdSense Login Troubles

I was having trouble with my AdSense account. The account was inactive for a while, but then I decided to revive it. After searching on Google Groups and other web pages I was unable to find a solution that worked for me so I emailed their support team, which responded in one day. I hope this helps someone else out.

Symptoms:

When I login to AdSense, I get the message "An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as you have not yet completed an application."

When I try to sign-up, I get the message "A user with the email you specified already exists, Please select a different Google Account login to access this account."

Solution:

1. Please make sure that your AdSense account password is different from
your Google Account password.

2. You can reset it at https://www.google.com/adsense/assistlogin?hl=en_US

3. Once your passwords are different, you will need to log in to AdSense
with the AdSense email and password .

4. Once you log in to your AdSense account, please migrate using

Certified Scrum Product Owner

In July of 2008, I continued my Scrum education by taking a two-day certification course in San Jose. It was taught by two fantastic trainers: Chris Sterling and Bryan Stallings. I highly recommend this course for any product owner, project manager, program manager, product manager, ScrumMaster, etc., if you are using Scrum or not.

Certified ScrumMaster

In June of 2008, I went to UCLA for a two-day training course to get a ScrumMaster certification. The class was taught by Chris Sterling from SolutionsIQ. I went back to work and started applying what I learned immediately.

The challenge was, I was trained to use Scrum, but others weren't. It was as though only one player knew the rules of the game. So how can I fix this...workshops. By holding a few workshops (or crash course), I was able to get the team up to speed...kind of. I couldn't fit all two days of exercises and material into a four-hour meeting.

After one sprint (two weeks), the team had felt what it is like to sprint. It sure was fast and felt short.

So now the team knows (or was at least informed) of the rules, guidelines, and goals of Scrum, the next challenge is to get them to play as a team. They are in the forming stage of the Tuckman model, and over time, will hopefully get to the performing stage.

By continuous inspection and adaptation, I am looking forward to watching the team evolve and improve over the next few sprints.
