About This Book
[edit | edit source]Why this book? I do and teach Agile, and I love check-lists.
Besides, It’s a brave new world out there and people are busy and have precious little attention for books, courses and lectures. Our attention span is youtube-size at best. 10 minutes is all we have.
In this reality, expecting people to read books to learn something is becoming less realistic, and even when we do read a book, a year later, we have forgotten 99% of its content. And now comes the time when we need that knowledge and we are back at square one.
What I needed was cheat sheet for individual topics so I could remind myself (and others) how to do something specific, troubleshoot something as a coach, or have a focused discussion about a specific topic, just as I was walking into it. These lists have helped me and others, so I hope it can help you as well, and perhaps you’ll even want to contribute. So here it is. Enjoy and contribute. This is (and will always remain) work in progress.
