I’m a big admirer of Nancy Duarte and her new book DataStory. One thing that Nancy knows is that data communication isn’t just about data visualization — any more than a movie is just about moving images. Audiences are moved by a movie because of so much more: storyline, characters, conflict, context, mood, specificity, meaning, and relatability. She makes this point in a recent HBR article The more data we collect, the more mind-boggling these figures become.

Some people have a very narrow definition of Agile: To some people, Agile equals Scrum and if you’re not doing Scrum and doing it “by the book”, you’re not Agile To other people, Agile means going fast, empowering teams, or any other attributes and ceremonies typically associated with Agile/Scrum projects.
