Now, the way I learned Hansel and Gretel, when they used breadcrumbs to find their way home, the birds of the forest ate the crumbs. This is what lead Hansel and Gretel to be incarcerated by the witch and nearly roasted and eaten!

Do we want our customers to be so lost getting through the software that they feel roasted and eaten at the end of their experience? No, of course not!

I do believe that Hansel and Gretel did successfully find their way home using a trail of shiny pebbles that glowed in the moonlight. Perhaps this feature should have been called “pebbles.”

Perhaps these analogies are telling? One should think things through a little more before implementing them. Or maybe I’m just nitpicking? Really, this is just stuff that goes through my head during meetings. It may have no meaning whatsoever.
