I think that's fabulous! Daniel - I agree - they made up new words for scrum - maybe not always that intuitive. I'm going to talk about user stories more when I next write about scrum. Good questions. Veronica - Wow - great connection - focusing on goals and removing hindrances is very scrum like. The job of the scrum master is exactly that of removing hinderances. Tracy & Cynthia - thanks! And yes - hurray for not moving out! Beth - how cool is that - you found a new career through your art. I think that’s fabulous!

I enjoy hearing about taking a business model and applying it to your art world. I think it's so helpful to view what we do from a different lens; can't wait for more!

T.D. Jakes...take it's necessary to take the time to prepare a Mission Statement when we are beginning a business, and to re-visit it often to make sure we're on track, focusing on what is important to reach our goals and removing the hindrances. He also mentioned that we need to do that in our daily lives, focusing on who we want to be. By the way, I'm really glad to hear about the house plans. Sometimes plans that don't work out are a blessing in disguise, allowing for something better. I always enjoy reading your posts, and today’s made me think of a comment I heard yesterday made by Rev.

This Scrum work is interesting, although I am finding its language a bit overly complex! I am curious: is there functional difference between a "user story" and a product requirment? Could you share an example of what one or your art-related user stories might be? Sounds like you and I are on similiar wavelengths right now, trying to establish the focus of our art businesses.

I enjoyed thinking them and the marketing efforts through so much that I'm getting my MBA to help transition my day job from chemist to product manager, or a similar role. Art has been pushed back to a hobby, which will give me time to play and develop my skills. It's definitely interesting hearing you apply your experiences in software development to the development of your art overall. Hope the house remodel goes well, Beth Lisa,
