Kent Beck and Don Reinertsen on Value of Storytelling
- skmurphy 12y agoA twitter exchange from Dec-2013 after both had presented a the 2013 Lean Startup Conference Kent Beck: The beauty of teaching through storytelling is that the listeners’ lessons aren’t limited by the storyteller’s imagination. Donald Reinertsen: And, as in the old story of a donkey carrying a load of books, the payload can sometimes be more sophisticated than the narrator. Kent Beck: Good thing I don’t mind being a donkey :) Donald Reinertsen: I rather enjoy it. Such moments permit one to unintentionally deliver an unexpected, and unreasonable, amount of value.
