Learning through Agile Writing

 Learning Through Agile Writing - How Agile Principles Can Make You A Better Writer
How do you become an expert? Write and then write some more. But how can we clarify our
thinking and structure our thoughts to clearly explain new and difficult concepts? Lean and agile
principles help immensely. In this talk we show how story mapping, short iterations, structured
feedback, transparency and pairing can be applied to writing to clarify thinking, improve writing
and help sharpen expertise.
