Project Management and Yoga: Not Such a Stretch
summary
A beginners’ primer that pairs Agile vocabulary with a short, guided vinyasa: it maps ideation → definition → launch → performance to specific poses, uses sun salutation as ideation and warrior I for launch, recommends iterating poses 2–3 times to mimic sprints, and treats daily standups as quick check‑ins for blockers. Attendees get a 5–10 minute flow to try, notes on when to stick to a method versus adapt, and practical reminders about roles, communication and keeping scope focused while reducing stress. Comfortable clothes and willingness to move are required.
