Mentalidad Agile; resultados extraordinarios

Probablemente estás pensando que de una u otra forma, tú, y tu organización, ya son Agile e implementan la metodología.

La belleza, y poder de estos sistemas, es que se basan en algo que ya conocemos, lo usamos a diario, y quizás lo mas importante, o por lo más interesante, es que funciona sin duda alguna. La clave es aprovechar la ventaja que nos presenta este mapa visual de algo que, para muchos, hasta ahora ha sido inconsciente.

Thank you for your interest in my story. I am looking forward to seeing how it will unfold now that you are interweaving yours into it.

One of my childhood dreams was to write an instruction Manuel to life. As a young boy I felt alone and was convinced that pain and suffering was all I could aspire to enjoy in this world. I am the youngest of five and ever since I can remember I had a daunting idea lingering over me that there was no more love, kindness, time or attention for me by the time I came around. My two eldest brothers are 14 months apart in age. There is a seven-year difference between the second born and my eldest sister. She is 14 months older than my other sister who is three years older than me. I grew up wondering where my companion was. My sisters had each other and I saw the same fellowship in my brothers, so who did I have?

Recently my mother told me a story of my childhood. I wanted my nanny to sleep in my room with me. My mom says I had some solid and logical arguments for a four-year-old. Apparently, I had a rebuttal to each objection. There was a spare bed in my room that I presented as a viable option, but what most struck my mom was that I noticed and alluded to the fact that she slept with my dad, my brothers shared a room and so did my sisters. It was hard for her to stay firm before such a compelling argument. No one else in the house slept in a room by themselves and I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to.

This is a perfect example of how I viewed and experienced a big part of my childhood; alone, sad and longing. I felt that I lacked guidance and so I decided I would put my experience together and leave it behind to guide those in similar situations. I am grateful I recognized this to be pretentious. Along the way I realized it would be impossible to put together a manual to live life. Life is too complex and personal. There cannot be a general step by step formula that would apply to all. So, this is my experience, strength, and hope as I learned to say. These stories aim to serve you. You are not alone and do not have to keep trying to do it on your own.
