the agile manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of developingsoftware by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and toolsWorking software over comprehensive documentationCustomer collaboration over contract negotiationResponding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items onthe right, we value the items on the left more.
the bottom line
In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words; people, product and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you cant do much with the other two.
Lee Iococca
scrum = teams
team building not just an art
At MIT’s Human Dynamics Laboratory, we have identified the elusive group dynamics that characterize high-performing teams—those blessed with the energy, creativity, and shared commitment to far surpass other teams. These dynamics are observable, quantifiable, and measurable. And, perhaps most important, teams can be taught how to strengthen them.
Alex “Sandy” Pentland, Director of MIT’s Human Dynamics Laboratory

Because we have great control over our own destiny, we are more committed to success.
Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we work well together and produce excellent work. We deliver valuable items

stop starting. start finishing
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.
takes courage to call out problems, identify impediments, ask for help, receive help, and offer help
a ship is safe to harbor. But that’s not what ships are for
openness - as we work together, we express how we're doing, what's in our way, and our concerns so they can be addressed.
