Agile Stories Series
Took up my complete day, I have been reading and brainstorming about possible ways of telling these stories. What does the community want to know about companies? Actually is a very difficult question to answer. I have some ideas which I'll share by the end of the week.
Over and out

I guess it depends on the story, but a sure winner is to talk about the obstacles they faced, what prevented them to overcome them, and what and how they went about tackling them, lessons learned.
ReplyDeleteExamples of obstacles could be an individual vs the environment (e.g. a superficial perception of a whole industry, or the silliness of how corporate budgets are allocated and renewed), an institution (e.g. a rigid company culture), a team (e.g. resisting change), another individual (your boss?), and finally....yourself! In other words, if you have no obstacles, you have no story.
I've been reading quite a few screenwriting books, which the goal of improving my technical presentations. I learned that a good movie idea could be expressed as follows:
"Someone wants something badly, and goes after it against great odds."
You see? It's a combination of "character", "desire", and "obstacles".
Some food for thought.
