Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

We still refer to the steam roller even though no one has one such a machine in over a hundred years. So what? Maybe something important.

We once used steam rollers to flatten things. They had a steam engine for power. They weighed a lot. They were effective.

We quit using steam engines on such machines over a hundred years ago, but we still call them steam rollers. Who cares? Cute name. No harm done.

It matters what names we use for some things.  It matters when we call hour-long meetings “stand up” meetings. It matters when we “sprint” all day long.

Somethings to consider.
