You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.
– Steve Jobs’ Stanford University Commencement address (2005)
Background
I was preparing a Prezi presentation on my startup Lessons Learned, looking back to my blog and and our Cynapse cyn.in social software suite for help in tracing my steps and it hit me. OMG! It’s been two years since I posted about this Steve Jobs quote & Garr Reynolds’ images are still stuck in my mind’s eye. It’s been one year since I posted about my first Pivot – inspired by Startup Lesson Learned 2010 conference and the Retrospective (Agile) has simply compelled me to blog about my dots and where they have led me.
My Lessons Learned Sprints
My Lessons Learned Prezi may still be a work in process but the dots seem to be in place. Trying to blog about the entire Retrospective is just too daunting. So in the spirit of Agile, I’ll break the Prezi up into dot-size sprints and will change the posted dates accordingly.
In the meantime, you can read about my favorite part of Startup Lessons Learned Conference 2011 – Steve Blank’s Lean Launch Lab beta, as chronicled by Morgan Linton.
