If her name is familiar, it’s because Ms. Adkins is the author of the book Coaching Agile Teams, one of the leading texts on the subject.

		<description><![CDATA[It is a commonplace to say we should manage data like a resource. But when you think about it, data is an asset but not a resource.  Data isn&#8217;t a thing like real estate, employees, or customers, but rather it represents all of those things.  In data-geek-speak, data is a meta-resource that holds information about <a href='http://robertlambert.net/2009/05/coming-soon-data-like-money/'>[...]</a>]]></description>
