David J. Anderson is blogging from Japan, keeping up the Agile Management goodness:
In our real home lives, we know how to deal with variation. We know how to set expectations appropriately. We accommodate variation like it was natural because it is. Why do we struggle to do so in our professional lives? So, did we get to see cherry blossom. Yes, we did! Did we see it falling? No, we didn’t. Did we get to party under the stars, petals falling around us. Nope! Did our vacation meet specification? Yes, it did! Because that specification had variable expectations built into it.
