A Markov Chain takes
where something is at
today, at this moment,
and looks into the future
starting with today!
What will that future hold?
That is the power of a
Markov Chain, which will
attempt to tell us what
comes next!!

Could This Work

Agile is . . .
Agile is . . .
Agile is . . .A way of doing a project,
“that is completed in small
sections called Sprints.
Each Sprint is reviewed and
critiqued by the project team
. . . each project iteration is
typically scheduled to be
completed within two
weeks.”
