Fear Is An Adaptive Response - Sometimes
Phobia is an intense fear of something that, in reality, poses little or no
actual danger.
Courage
Scrum
XP
Because we work as a team, we feel supported and have more
resources at our disposal. This gives us the courage to undertake
greater challenges.
We will tell the truth about progress and estimates. We don't
document excuses for failure because we plan to succeed. We
don't fear anything because no one ever works alone. We will
adapt to changes when ever they happen.
Fear Of Change
Metathesiophobia
Charles Darwin
It is not the strongest of the species
that survives, nor the most intelligent
that survives. It is the one that is
most adaptable to change.
