Agile Physics and the Math of Flow w Troy Magennis

When people talk about Agile you’ll hear them talk about certain ideas, topics, or “laws” that are just mentioned as if they were universally known truths, almost like gravity. In “Agile Physics - the Math of Flow”, a new FREE course offered by Troy Magennis, you can start to learn the math behind some of these truths.  In this interview, Troy joins me to explain why he developed the course, how it works, and the tools he provides to add clarity on why Agilists consider certain things to be as true as gravity.
