Why We Do Things
John Cutler has delivered another nice piece. This time, he’s giving the question of why someone (an individual, or a team) is doing something a satirical spin by giving wrong answers only.
I particularly like how each of the wrong answers is immediately decorated with follow-up questions that illustrate why the answer was wrong to begin with. And then, there’s the bit at the bottom of the posting that lists some indicators for giving the right answer instead.
It’s a solid reminder that we must always keep in mind why we’re doing something. Does it really add value, and is it the value we’re meant to deliver? What Cutler writes here also nicely complements some thoughts I had written up about how the whole “agile” thing can be reduced to just two simple questions.
