Introducing: “Deep in the Heart of Agile — Why Points Don’t Measure Up”
I wrote a four-part series for Agile teams, leaders, and spreadsheet-loving skeptics everywhere who’ve ever asked:
“Why are we still pretending story points add up to something real?”
From Fibonacci spirals to burn charts, I dig into the math, the myth, and the metrics that turn Agile into cosplay. If you’ve ever questioned velocity, laughed at planning poker, or just want a better way to talk about effort — this series is for you.
📌 Titles:
- The Spiral Logic of Bad Math (1/4)
- The Myth of the Math (2/4)
- Burndown and Burnout (3/4)
- T-Shirts Don’t Add Up (4/4)
I propose a shift from flawed formulas to better conversations. No charts were harmed in the making of this series — just egos.
Let me know what resonates, what flops, or what gets you kicked out of sprint planning.
