Energize your team: analogy between agile teams and lasers
Electricity, magnetism and time are tightly intertwined. You can try to work separately with them but that will not give you the whole picture. While if you consider the dynamic relation between all three, you can do magical things. For example, you can “bounces” electrical energy back and forth into magnetic energy resulting in alternative current, which magically almost avoiding the need to actually carry “real current” (which is expensive). Or you can “juggle” these energies while moving forward, and thereby creating photons and light. In project management, tasks, resources and time are also tightly intertwined. You can try to work with them separately but again at risk of being inefficient. It is a bit of a stretch to compare project management with electromagnetism, yet it is intuitively pleasing. In electromagnetism, work is created by “applying” electrical currents and magnetic fields on each other. In project management, work is creating by “applying” tasks and resource...
