“ – Pink Floyd
Hello,
Is there anybody in there
Nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home

3.
some of us dream

4.
some dreams
become ideas

5.
and we have
the power

6.
to make dreams
come true

7.
we can
make ideas real

8.
can we
handle that?

9.
do we dare to dream?

10.
do we dare to design?

11.
to make our
dreams come true

12.
our dreams
must die

13.
to give birth to a reality

14.
because
we dared to dream

15.
and we dared to
create

16.
and we dared to
give life to our thought

17.
yet

18.
“ – Pink Floyd
The sun is the same in a relative way
but we're older
running over the same old ground
the same old fears

19.
what was our idea
is now a reality

20.
and it grows

21.
and grows

27.
we scale because

28.
our reality is bigger

29.
our dream is dead

30.
our reality

we are its host

it needs more

“ – Pink Floyd
we're just
another brick in the wall

39.
our ideas
are tragedies

40.
we clone servers

41.
we clone people

42.
we rob us
of our senses

43.
we make us

44.
incapable of feeling

45.
we are remote
controlled

46.
by process

methodology

48.
a science of
management

49.
by systems and isms

50.
for a reality

51.
that outgrew

52.
it is time to…

53.
“ – The Doors
break on through through to the side

54.
we don’t need

55.
no preachers
no politicians

56.
no remote control

57.
but we are geeks

58.
and we suffer from

59.
man machine love

60.
man machine

61.
love

62.
do we dare to love?

63.
after a while

64.
it feels like

65.
“ – Jimi Hendrix
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

66.
and that which
makes us sad

67.
makes us happy

68.
life is a duality

69.
which side I see

70.
is my choice

71.
when we see the
same side

72.
it is a moment shared

73.
only a moment is
infinite

74.
when we see

75.
opposite sides

76.
then we think

77.
we’re in conflict

78.
we scale conflict
all too easily

79.
and I don’t know why!

80.
all we need

81.
is a shift in attitude

82.
a shift in
perspective

83.
to see that
duality

84.
from the other side

85.
we call that
empathy

86.
it starts with
awareness

I exist

91.
because
you exist

92.
and

93.
we are
different

94.
our values
stack differently

95.
it shouldn't
matter

96.
“ – Nirvana
Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As an old enemy

97.
that is all we are

98.
we are unique

99.
we cannot be cloned

100.
we cannot
be jacked in

101.
remote controlled

102.
but can you
feel it?

103.
“ – Bob Dylan
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones ?

104.
after decades

105.
of process

106.
and methodology

107.
of agile folly

108.
being sold
the dream

109.
of the team

SAFe

118.
but it is just
Taylorism

119.
in disguise
!

120.
most teams

121.
work
superficially well

122.
or

123.
are
toxically dysfunctional

124.
why?

125.
because we
are told

126.
to leave

127.
our baggage
at the door
!

128.
that which
defines me

129.
will be ignored

130.
we are
incapable

131.
of leaving our
uniqueness aside

132.
the part that is me

133.
prevents us

134.
from scaling

135.
like clones
!

136.
we scale
with diversity

137.
embrace
our diversity

138.
that is the revolution

139.
that is inside us

140.
it cannot
be suppressed

141.
it cannot
be avoided

142.
“ – Gil Scott-Heron
You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

143.
if all we want

144.
is happiness

145.
to be content

146.
THEN…

147.
what is the basis

148.
for our dispute?

“ – Lao Tzu
If you do not change direction, you may end up
where you are heading.
