Almost finished with Extreme Programming Explored. System Metaphor has been the most interesting topic thus far. Thinking about finding a helpful metaphor to talk about a system reminded me of Narrative Therapy's externalization. This quote from Explored, in particular, is inspiring me to dive back into narrative therpay literature in search of synergies:

"Naming something helps give you power over it."

It is just as I first suspected, the more I read about agile software development, the more overlap I find with narrative therapy.
