Card Game Ends

It was fun while it lasted. You can look back over the various cards to see how they apply to agile, or maybe they don't apply. This card clearly ends the streak of cards that could be applied to and discussed in the context of agile projects. Living in the Moment by Barbara Ann Kipfer (a deck of 52 inspirational cards).



If you're on a spiritual journey this card applies, otherwise it's just too much of a stretch to make this apply to agile development. So, the card game is over. Back to regular posts after this.

Agile - Act Now

Yet another card to continue the game of drawing cards. This one is about acting now. Living in the Moment by Barbara Ann Kipfer (a deck of 52 inspirational cards).


This continues the theme of focusing on the now, not the later. Keeping in mind that we can only deal with the present moment, not the past and not the future.

Overflowing - Make room for new ideas, new practices, ...

The card game continues. Here's the card I drew this time... Living in the Moment by Barbara Ann Kipfer (a deck of 52 inspirational cards).




So what does this one mean in an agile world.

Agile - Aware Now

Ok, so this picking of cards still seems to be working. This time the card reads:

Agile - now, for later

If you read my last blog you'll know that I pulled a card from a deck of 52 cards my wife has. I then decided I would try it again to see if the card provided impetus for this blog. Here's what the next card had on it: "Now or Later - If you desire a glorious future,, transform the present - Patanjali (circa: 2nd century CE). Living in the Moment by Barbara Ann Kipfer (a deck of 52 inspirational cards).


Some say Patanjali was a single person, others say Patanjali was a series of people who wrote sage advise and wisdom some 5000 to 7000 years ago. I've read some of Patanjali's works and find them interesting.

Back to the card. Ok, so maybe this deck of cards is a pretty good content generator. We'll see when I pick the third card for the next blog. Who knows maybe I have 50 more blogs ready and waiting.
