Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 463 will feature our essay on using big picture stories to generate resonance. \xa0Early in the history of Agile, most descriptions of Agile included the need to define a central metaphor to help guide the work. \xa0Somewhere over time, the idea of a central metaphor has disappeared as Agile thought leaders have focused on more tactical facets of Agile methods and frameworks. It\u2019s time to reconsider the big picture story! We will also have columns from Gene Hughson (Form Follows Function) \xa0and Jeremy Berriault (QA Corner).
