@peterdrake I would have voted for XP for what it’s worth. For software development, XP is the most disciplined and at the same time provides a path to team and individual autonomy to define processes that make sense in context. From XP roots, it’s not difficult to adapt to Scrum and kanban concepts.

Hello folks,
While waiting for people to get back to me, I have a lemony fresh blog talking about the Discover / Capital One merger and how that will impact the Agile profession.

A new note will be played today in John Cage's "Organ2 /ASLSP" (as slowly and softly as possible)
If you’re in a hurry, that part starts around 7 min in. … you will want to go back and listen to the whole thing though I promise

The Women Who Rode Miles on Horseback to Deliver Library Books
Librarians are amazing.
They were known as the “book women.” They would saddle up, usually at dawn, to pick their way along snowy hillsides and through muddy creeks with a simple goal: to deliver reading material to Kentucky’s isolated mountain communities.

@tdpauw I'm enjoying the read -- well written. It could easily be a book. I made it as far as the "But Compliance" section and have this feedback for you. Impact Mapping is more about mapping potential benefits to customers and prioritizing new features. In the context of risks, you might want to mention impact analysis, and risk matrices, for example:
