RE: Working Agile Methodology Like a Rented Mule

in #story8 years ago

I enjoyed your post. When I think of agile I think of steady movements. A fluidity of sorts that cascades actions into end gain. Perfect way to organize daily task. Could this knowledge be transferred to help people that struggle with activities of daily living? Like create the easiest way for them to get their basic human needs met as in bathed, feed, watered, and nourished? A lot of elderly patients really struggle with keeping theirselves hydrated and nourished because the process of preparing food is so physically exhausting for them they end up burning more calories than they consume!

Good morning @kristy1. Agile could absolutely be adapted for the use you describe. Individual daily caloric or hydration goals could be the "stories" with the ultimate goal of setting a target weight or maintaining proper hydration for a length of time. The key to Agile is it works for anything that is "measurable". What a great idea to use it for that means!! If they're in a group setting you could turn it into a competition where the winners get praised or receive small prizes.

I can see this being a fun incentive. Great theory on how to collaborate a well function group effort!!
