Bloggtoons

The Agile manifesto meets Vige, a client of mine wanted to get an illustration of the manifesto so now I felt that I should turn that work into a Vige-version as well. From an illustration perspective the challenge with this is to select what to “make fun of” in order to get a tension in the illustration. I decided that the tension should be between what is valued OVER something else. So even if the right side have value in this illustration it gets a bit of a beating. Let’s say that I tried to illustrate a situation where you overdo it some what.

If you want a high res-version of the picture you can find it in my Free material area on this page.

Sometimes reality is “better” than fiction”! Thanks Mahlin for this real world example.

Ever heard of the expression “one bad apple can spoil the barrel”? It came up during a class in the Agile People Coach at #agilepeople that Im attending right now, great inspirations, learnings and discussion there by the way :).

The expression states that one apple can corrupt or destroy the whole barrel. I think that this analogy for team och organisations is sometimes useful but as always it only catches one perspective or in this case a glimpse of a perspective. At the discussion a fellow participant Richard Svarre said “But what if it’s the barrel that is bad?” referring to the system. I felt that wow now I got a new perspective of an already existing expression and of course I had to make that into a bloggtoon, I hope you like it.
