I would be very suspicious of anything that came out of industry when applying it to family life - these are VERY different spheres. 3. Agile is not even suitable for every development project even with full team buy-in; sometimes, the tool just doesn't fit the job. Finally, as for having a family, seek to connect, not to manage ;) | |

If so, remember that agile only works when you have buy-in from all the parties involved; if she doesn't see the need or the value to her, set it aside and perhaps ask again later. Remember, one of the things we should empower kids to do is to say "no" on occasion. | |

Well I am not going to do the concept justice, but I believe it is worth trying. It's good to try new things. | |

In fact I had no idea that people would organise such meetings formally in advance in the way described. As far as I know none of my school friends had them either (though of course I might not know). If I had a new step-parent and they called one, I'd be apprehensive too. | |
