Classic Business Analysis Articles
I was sorting through some of my bookmarks and articles I’ve accumulated over time via the Web, and found that there are a few articles that I seem to refer back to time and again.
Quoteworthy: Alistair Cockburn
Agile … is an attitude, not a technique with boundaries. An attitude has no boundaries, so we wouldn’t ask “can I use agile here”, but rather “how would I act in the agile way here?” or “how agile can we be, here?” – Alistair Cockburn
Quotable: Herbert Kaufman
Failure is only postponed success as long as courage ‘coaches’ ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. – Herbert Kaufman
Quoteworthy: H.L. Mencken on Simple Solutions to Complex Problems
For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. – H.L. Mencken
Quoteworthy: Leadership
A good leader inspires others with confidence in him; a great leader inspires them with confidence in themselves. – Unknown
Quoteworthy: Douglas Adams
I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. – Douglas Adams
