The closing paper challenges the foundational assumption every modern methodology shares: that work must be decomposed into small, human-sized units before it can be executed. Epics into stories, stories into tasks, tasks into subtasks — a coping mechanism for Miller's Law and the limits of human working memory, not a property of good software. With machines doing the work, the paper argues, the unit of work is no longer the story; it is the *value*. A whole banquet described in a sentence, delivered by a kitchen that organises itself. Written for engineering leaders ready to stop thinking in stories and start thinking in value.
