There’s this lady in my place of business Fell in love on a whim, then asked herself, “Who is this?” Left her crying. In her mouth, a bad taste. And a call to the lawyers, in debt to her waste.
And I don’t blame her for smoking three packs a day. You can’t kill yourself fast if you just fade away. You can see it in her eyes. She’s seen one, two, one too many goodbyes.
I met a woman, whose abstract fears told an abstract story of twenty-six years. She’d sell her body, just to get a ride home, but she’d sell her soul not to be alone.
But I don’t blame her for the love she’s looking for you Because you can’t bet your life on what’s behind door number two. You can see it in her eyes. She’s seen one, two, one too many goodbyes.
Yeah, there is a saviour. A place where someone knows your name. The light’s on the hill, You can see him he’s real. And there are angels. They don’t just live in your dreams. The truth is in his eyes. Make this your last goodbye.
There’s a man I know who no one would listen to. He walked the earth, unfollowed and forgot. Love is all, love is all that he sought. And now he wants to love you.
Because he don’t blame you for the love he’s looking for you he knows you can’t bet your life on what’s behind door number two. You can see it in his eyes: This is your last goodbye.

There’s an old man trying to turn left, and a little boy chasing a brown dog. There’s a mad man going a little too fast, and a black and white car, and a man who plays god.
There’s a schoolgirl crossing Broadway at three and a football game in a vacant lot field. There’s a poor poet wondering what is it I’m doing. Well, I’m wondering: Is it for real?
Is it real, is it sane, tell me, what’s in a name? And, where will you be in five minutes? Is it real, is it sane, tell me, who’s to blame? And, I’ll go home when I’m finished. In five minutes. Is it for real?
There’s a family wondering what they’ve got left, and a fireman missing his black and white dog. And there’s a boy and a girl moving a little too fast, but not a soul searching for God.
There’s an actress belonging on Broadway, she’s 33 and she’s wondering how it must feel. There’s a poor poet wondering, “What is it I’m doing?” Well, I’m wondering, “Is it for real?”
This is how you felt, and the hand you were dealt will never be understanded, so bloom where you’re planted.
When she’s drinking, She says things I don’t think I believe, and I’m not one to practice to deceive. But I’d be lying if I told you, That I’m not dying when I hold you. And the more I get to know you, The more of me I’ll show you.
When I say, “I love you,” She reaffirms that I’m a nice guy. When I say, “I love you,” She reaffirms how much she likes me, But, she can’t say, “I love you.” She can’t say, “I love you.” It just might take to long.
When I’m angry, I say things I know I shouldn’t believe, And one day, I’ll say what I can’t retrieve. But, it’s been so long since I’ve held you, And it’s been days since I felt your smile, And I guess I’ll just get over it for a while.
The curse of remembering, This concept of dismembering. What I wish I was, Why I’m not because: You said no because you couldn’t But I know it’s ’cause you wouldn’t.
At this point, historians agree that the golden ratio, the “divine” spiral, and the Fibonacci sequence predated Leonardo F. by a few hundred or more years, but modern agile practitioners have decided to agree to use the sequence to do basic addition and subtraction to determine team effectiveness, or velocity. It’s a bad idea.
But points are the whole reason we became “agile” and velocity is obviously the only indicator of progress when building software.
— Everyone Ever
Basically it’s like this. The golden ratio makes this amazing spiral showing in the image. Each number in the Fibonacci sequence adds to the spiral in term of it’s area and PI (the number) and a series of other factors. Simply put, if you have 4 numbers from Fibonacci, as in the case of a typical sprint with three or four activities, you can’t simply summarize the effort of an individual using simple math in the form of addition, and you infinitely cannot add the effort of six or eight team members by summing up golden numbers. Maybe their area, square, or some variation of square and PI (the number)?
The Fibonacci sequence has a purpose, and it’s to show the growth of something over time. In the case of agile, it’s the growth of the team’s capacity over the cycle of a sprint. You may need to consider several other factors such as the number of people on the team, their skill levels, the type of activities they are performing, and even their individual strengths and weaknesses.
In conclusion, the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio can be helpful in understanding the dynamics of a team, but it’s important to remember that they should not be used as a method of measurement for the effectiveness of a team or its members. There are more accurate methods available and it’s important to use those to ensure accurate results.
The Fibonacci sequence, or the golden ratio, are mathematical concepts present in nature, art and architecture. For example, the nautilus shell or the pattern of a sunflower’s seeds are both examples of the Fibonacci sequence. The golden ratio is often utilized in architecture, as its ratio of 1:1.618 is considered aesthetically pleasing. It has been used in the works of renowned architects such as Le Corbusier, and in the design of the Parthenon. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio have become popular amongst agile practitioners in recent years.
“I wrote an article about the dangers of artificial intelligence and now my AI therapist isn’t speaking to me.”
— That’s a Rich Williams joke
However, many agile practitioners have resorted to using the Fibonacci sequence as a method of measuring team effectiveness. As the Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers that increase incrementally, it is not an accurate way of measuring team velocity. The Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical concept and it is not an appropriate way to measure the effort of a team or its individual members. It is important to remember that the Fibonacci sequence is used to illustrate growth, rather than to calculate it.
In order to accurately measure the effectiveness of a team, it is important to consider several factors such as the number of people on the team, their skill levels, the type of activities they are performing, and even their individual strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, the Agile Manifesto states that “Working software is the primary measure of progress” and suggests delivering working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
The concept of using the Fibonacci sequence for relative sizing in agile environments is misguided. It is important to prioritize a backlog and determine MVP, but this should not be done at the cost of compromising the principles of agile, such as prioritizing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responsiveness to change. Agile should not be reduced to a series of charts and graphs to compare velocity based on subjective story points.
Relative estimation can be a useful tool for having conversations and short-term predictability. However, it is not suitable for quantifying the work of a team, particularly when considering the different abilities, skills, and strengths of individual team members. The idea of using Fibonacci numbers for letting team members go is also flawed, as it does not take into account other factors such as their performance, experience, and impact on the project.
In an ideal scenario, the goal is to deliver a minimum viable product under budget and if possible, exceed expectations. This requires a hard estimate, contract, and agreement between the development team and the client.
Ultimately, the distinction between software development and building construction is noteworthy, as mistakes in software development can be corrected through bug fixes and app updates, while mistakes in building construction are much harder to rectify.
The challenge of subjectively comparing effort among stories in Agile methodologies can be addressed through the use of various methods such as t-shirt sizes, whole numbers, a scale of 1-10, and even Fibonacci numbers. However, it is important to note that these methods should not be used for adding and subtracting. On the other hand, time can be quantified in terms of years, months, weeks, days, hours and minutes, though it is worth mentioning that time estimation in Agile teams has been known to be unreliable.
The sum of the fibonacci numbers, whether properly calculated using the area pi spiral OR just summarized using basic addition, should be taken with a big coarse grain of sea salt flavored popcorn.
— Rich Williams (Me)
The purpose of using a metric such as velocity, which ultimately seeks to convert points to hours or dollars, is to support accounting needs. However, such calculations are limited by various factors such as holidays, interest, opportunity cost, and so on. Although the originators of velocity in Agile methodology were not mathematicians, there are mathematicians who are conducting research in the areas of time and money, with publicly available findings.
The use of numbers as a means of representation can be problematic as they are subject to manipulation by accountants, executives, and AI algorithms, which analyze the data and search for patterns through complex mathematical models. Using numerical values to quantify effort should only be done as a last resort, and it is always advisable to budget resources such as time and money.
I am proposing a revised use of T-shirt sizing to more accurately describe and label effort required to complete user stories in the form of what I call “SMLXD” or small, medium, large, extra-large, and double-XL. Individual contribution to a sprint could be described as SSLL or MLX and or shorthanded as a team with 3S.4M.2L.2X.D, etc. It’s honestly just a proposal, but something I’m looking forward to developing. How do you do math with SMLXD? You don’t. Instead you use it for what relative sizing was intended for: estimating complexity, uncertainty, and effort.*
Overall, the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio are wonderful mathematical concepts that have been present in the world for centuries. However, it is important to remember that they are not suitable for measuring team effectiveness or velocity. Instead, it is important to consider a range of factors and to follow the Agile Manifesto’s guidelines to accurately measure and track team performance.

Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You And I will seek You in the morning And I will learn to walk in Your ways And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days
Sometimes I think of Abraham How one star he saw had been lit for me He was a stranger in this land And I am that, no less than he And on this road to righteousness Sometimes the climb can be so steep I may falter in my steps But never beyond Your reach
Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You I will seek You in the morning And I will learn to walk in Your ways And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night . . .) (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (. . . Was beautiful) (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (So beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Oh God, you are my God) And I will follow You all of my days (Oh God, you are my God) And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night . . .)

Mark 2: King James Version
2 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

I feel like real content is the fastest way to get your layout, headlines, fonts, possibly images, red-lined and marked up with unnecessary comments about the content that are irrelevant to the mission critical task of making visual decisions. This article is nice, but misguided. Lorem ipsum requires one conversation with the client about its purpose, not a hundred conversations like, “Oh, we’ve moved this to the Dallas market,” or “Oops, he doesn’t work here anymore.,” or “I think we’re going to nix the British spelling of colour for this piece.” All of the comments may be for another party or stage of production and ultimately influence stakeholder decision to choose the wrong layout based on too much content editing in the mocks.
An otherwise five-minute meeting can easily become a pet-peeve soapbox about dated copy, and when you’re just trying to get a template approved, this is counter productive.
