Bruce Feiler: Agile programming -- for your family
Trki, Kody, Cheaty do
Bruce Feiler has a radical idea: To deal with the stress of modern family life, go agile. Inspired by agile software programming, Feiler introduces family practices which encourage flexibility, bottom-up idea flow, constant feedback and accountability. One surprising feature: Kids pick their own punishments. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

interesting concept, I was googling for what is Agile and this came up. amusing in a certain sense.
-
just had first family agile meeting wasn't expecting great results but it went really well. have a whiteboard full of things to achieve this week.

Wonderful!!!

The simple concept proves true.. a happy worker is a product and loyal worker. The problem is getting management to buy into these policies that promote the flexibility to enhance worker satisfaction.

I have been a software engineer for 30 years. Agile doesn't work for everyone. Not everyone performs well with the team approach. Not every family member likes to be "warm and fuzzy". The goal of a family is not to make a profit or avoid problems. Love cannot exist under such structures - maybe slavery - but not love.

This reminds me of a Time Magazine article I read just today about the change in the way cancer research is now being conducted. It's amazing when you make these connections about the world :)

Thanks for calling me out on being a jerkbag, I keep forgetting that TED talks are about ideas.

Huh? The world rocks! It is far from perfect but I am grateful for being alive in it.

are there any anthropologists out there? this talk along with many other TED talks on human relationships is starting to make me feel that Anthro is an overly underrated discipline

Awesome vid! I've been enjoying lots of TED Family podcasts. Love the idea of empowering the kids and working/talking about issues together. We've asked our kids about what consequences they would receive.. and yes, the kids usually come up with harder punishments than us parents would! lol.

Love it! I have been using Agile with my 3 kids for homework time. Wanted my kids to work efficiently and learn a workflow process along with task/time management. My kids were struggling at school, and AGILE/KANBAN helped them! I also made an app for them to help them with applying those methods at home, and make the methods very simple and fun for kids. The app is available for free, sharing it with all parents if interested, the app is called : KanPlan, available in AppStore !

First we had Colin Powell telling us that kids love military-like structure and now we're told that they love living in a corporation. Feiler gives an interesting point - kids say they want parents being less stressed and tired - and then pretty much says that it's the kids' fault. And tells us how to teach children to get out of parents' way. Do what you should do without me having to tell you and there will be less screaming, and I'll be less stressed. Everyone's happy!

Stress is Contagious. Parents should adapt to switch Roles and Emotions when they are at home with family.

Could you elaborate? I don't understand what you meant.
