Hi Harold Thank you for your testimony. I love the fact that you are using them with a different purpose in mind. For the OShotline I understand that they guided you to pay attention to what seems the most important. My guess is that you might use them similarly with when you teach.
I would be very curious to know how you use them when you coach agile teams : do you use them collectively with the team , I mean as a coaching tool ? Or have the team itself use them for specific activities ?
