We are living in nested systems. What succeeded in one scope, would be successful in others. So does agile. The notion 'Agile in family' was firstly introduced by Bruce Feiler at Ted SalonNY2013. The talk was simply awesome, amazingly convincing and practical. So please spend your time to listen this inspiring talk, or read the transcript.
OK, now you should have basic knowledge of this idea and are interested in making it real. YES, we will somehow conduct our family meeting, to suggest tasks, check what we had done, discuss lessons learn and how to overcome new challenges. We will manage these tasks by several ways such as a check-list with pen and paper, or an agile board on wall. These tools are visual, cheap, and easy to use but they're inflexible, not constantly updated, and not aggregated. We want all family members can follow and update tasks every time, everywhere, and we also wanna consolidate our efforts and results to measure our effectiveness. And HERE Trello comes. Just simply suits all our needs for a virtual board in multiple platforms from web to mobile, and most importantly, it's free. With Trello, we can easily access and update family board on any PC, tablet or smartphone.
Trello should be an ideal tool for Agile methodology in family, and obviously a good try for anyone wants to renovate their family life with tighter bond and well prepare for their children future. AND I believe, this is an idea worth spreading.
