Agile at the Masters
Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 8:31PM Watching today's Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia I was struck again by something I've noticed before. In the game of golf, when more than one person has the same score, the person who has completed the most holes is listed as 'ahead of' or 'above' the person or people with that same score. Evidently, while having more holes remaining is surely an opportunity to get a better score, golf aficionados know that those extra holes are more often than not an opportunity to lose a stroke. They seem to place more value on what has been accomplished for certain rather than what the potential for the future might hold.

I have noticed this as well but until now had not related it to Agile. Value is one thing everyone too often takes for granted or makes too many sweeping assumptions about. I wonder what this storycard would look like if it were written out? As a PGA score keeper, I want to be able to collect and present the score ranking of all golfers on the golf course at anytime so that online viewer or listner can understand who the current potential winner is with the highest level of accuracy ? haha, maybe that is too much.
