Intriguing article on the cognitive science of why scrum works

You really need to read this! This is more evidence of why GTD works so well. Cheers!
 
Regarding stigmergy: I think this is essentially the story of human civilization. I am the beneficiary of thousands of years of accumulated knowledge and thought. When a modern researcher publishes their work, a marker is placed that says “If you come by this way, here is some information that might help.” We don’t know who will come when or even if, but out of this process comes just about everything humans have achieved. I will admit that the ants, bees and termites had the idea first, but they didn’t take it very far.
