Agile is built around teams. Your UX person isn’t struggling, your team IS struggling. If one person fails, the entire team has failed.

I put up this slide a little earlier this year. It represents what Apple is all about. We’re not just a tech company. Apple is more than that. It’s tech and humanity. It’s the hardware and the software working together. It’s not just a great new camera system, it’s the editing too, it’s not just a front-facing camera, it’s that plus 18 months of work on the software side. It’s the complete solution, so all of us don’t have to be system integrators. -Steve Jobs live from WWDC 2010

han passato i secoli a cercare di fare la classificazione totale, ma è impossibile, è sempre globale e prospettica. Necessariamente, ne viene che può essere autoriale e non collettiva. Ci si riesce solo in certi campi, per esempio quello degli animali e delle piante, siccome sono universi a modo proprio finiti. […] Gli animali dunque sono finiti e in un modo o nell’altro si riescono a classificare. Invece per i casi in cui gli elementi sono più polverizzati, la classificazione totale e collettiva è impossibile.

It is only by association with a product, a service, a business, or a corporation that a logo takes on any real meaning. It derives its meaning and usefulness from the quality of that which it symbolizes.
