Justyna does a great job of visualizing the story and connecting us with the characters. While she keeps the story engaging, light and fun; there are huge takeaways from the book:
- Start where you are
- Focus on flow
- Focus on “Being Agile”
- Most importantly, the real application of the 4Cs concept from “Training from the back of the room” to do STATIK and teach Kanban principles.
