It does not replace face-to-face interaction.

Get a blank index card. You’re going to write a
story card.

A Quick Poll
1. Who wrote down instructions for how to get the phone number?
2. Who wrote down the phone number? 3. Who wrote down “Get the phone
number…”? 4. Who’s actually on their SmartPhone
trying to get me the phone number right now?

If you hear the customer ask for something, or you have an idea, write it down on an index card.
Do NOT • Try to do the work • Try to estimate the work • Argue if it’s the highest priority
If you hear an idea, simply write it down.
