Friday Five 44/08

Let’s start the Friday Five! In the spirit of agile development next week might look very different, but let’s start with the very basics.

Answering shouldn’t be a burden, so short comments please. The aim is to make us know each other better and keep in contact in between meetings.

You have until next Friday to answer. Answers can be submitted by clicking the “no comments/x comments) link. You don’t need to login in order to answer.

1. A small recap on your studies: what are you majoring in, what about minors?
2. Teamwork and learning to listen each other were focal themes in the first lectures. What kind of a team worker are you?
3. Do you have any previous experiences in entrepreneurship or planning business concepts?
4. During the first few days you heard quite a number of names, frameworks and anecdotes – any ideas that stuck?
5. .. The flipside of the coin – was there something that was overlooked, should be revisited or ought to be thrown away?

Are you in the Tribe?

Concerning Antti’s ideas on religion, loyalty, tribe and Apple…

Seth Godin has a new book on tribal management. The different ways of “consuming” this book are also pretty varied: see the slides for free (download for notes), dowload the audioversion of the book for free on Audible (requires registration), pay 0,95e on iTunes or buy the book.
