The JOEY Mob
- Part 1 the standup that filmed itself
A new Commander joins the JOEY Mob after lunch. Sue calls the standup to order from the centre of the rings, four Commanders check in, and the meeting ends as a film with a model underneath it. Every screen in it is the real product.
- Part 2 the sprint planning, on the rings
Day two for the new Commander. Sue brings the board she built overnight, the Commanders report from the field, the support desk goes live, marketing drops in with the real funnel, and every new epic gets an owner out loud. Every screen is the running product.
- Part 3 launch day, and the board that disagreed
Seven units go out under one authorization. Two Commanders walk the console while it happens, and one of them asks a question that catches the tracker in a lie: a hundred and six stories still say To Do for work that merged eighteen days ago.
- Part 4 two documents in, a running product out
Madstone sent two documents. Two days later there was a running service in the cloud, ten stacked pull requests, a thirty-five page wiki, their own keys wired in, and a twenty-six minute film of every step. How a crew of agents and people does it, what it cost, and what still does not work.
