People could learn from stories. In this article, the question is asked: What can people working in an agile way learn from “The Chronicles of Narnia”? With this goal in mind, five scenes are explained and the lessons are worked out. Since there are a large number lot of ways of working agile, this article is focused on the Kanban Method and Scrum as agile ideas.
