It certainly was not my intent to talk down to anyone or insult
anyone's intelligence or training, but to paint the picture as=20
accurately as possible based on my prior experience.  Prior
experience to date has shown that written explanations are=20
necessary but insufficient to understand Freedom.  A certain=20
amount of face-to-face and hands-on seem to be required.

However, since you threw down the gauntlet, I will do the same
and challenge the denizens of this list to learn Freedom based
on written explanations in this forum without exposure to the=20
face-to-face course.  If you all can do this, you will be the
first.=20

I have always attributed the past failures to the fact that
Freedom involves not just new techniques like functionality
trees, behavior tables, and the like, but an entirely new
mindset wrt requirements.  It is probably fair to say it is=20
a requirements paradigm shift.  Paradigm shifts are typically
more challenging to wrap one's mind around than most other
types of material.

However, I am also willing to concede the failures may strictly
lie with me.  Perhaps I have simply not found the correct
way to present this material.  If that is the case, I may=20
be the one who learns the most in this exercise by finding=20
better ways of explaining the material.  I do hope this
turns out to be the case.

There is one other thing I will ask of the members of this list.
Assuming we successfully reach our goal of explaining Freedom
so that you all understand it, I will then ask all of you to=20
give your assessment of how Freedom might best be used in an=20
agile context or, if it cannot be, then why.  I would also
expect an assessment of Freedom wrt AM values and principles
to result from such a discussion.

That is my counter-challenge. Is everyone game?  If not,
please speak your mind now.
