Mike Lyons walks through an Agile exercise where you pick five components to build a working commute solution for a customer named Kayla. The point: Agile is about delivering something useful fast, not building everything at once.
Okay, so if Agile is a state of mind, how do we establish that? How do we prove that out when it comes to delivery? Well, let's go ahead and practice this a bit. We'd like to introduce you to Kayla. Kayla is a customer of ours and she has hired us to build her something to take her from her home to her workplace. And she'd like us to build it using Agile. Now, she hasn't given us much information. She just needs something to get from home to work and she'd like us to use Agile. And so, based just on what, you know, what we've talked about so far, we're going to show you 10 different components here that you can choose from to build this thing together from home to work. So choose five of these items in the order in which you would build them. So like, what would you do first and what would you do second? What would you do third, fourth, and then, and then fifth, how would you deliver for this requirement of getting from home to work? So go ahead and do that now in the next section here, answer that. Pick five in order. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. How would you deliver them? And then when you're done, we'll come back and regroup on that.
