I believe in…
Empirical Process over Defined Process

Effectiveness over Efficiency
Flow Efficiency over Resource Efficiency
Small Batches over Big Batches
Pull System over Push System
Self Organisation over Command & Control
Problem Focus over Solution Focus
Products Development over Project Execution
Omission Error over Commission Error
