22. PARTICIPANTS Who are you? What is your role? What do you know about agility? What about your enterprise? 27 January 2010 17 Agile Mëtteg – Agile Enterprise

24. Customers cannot accurately tell you what they want at the start of the project; instead, they will gain clarity as the project proceeds.

25. You want feedback from the customer as often as possible and you want to give developers feedback on how they are doing as soon as possible.

26. Working code is the most accurate way of seeing the progress of the development effort.

27. Groups working together minimizes delays as well as the loss of information between people.

28. Moving test to the front of the development cycle improves the conversation between developers and customers and testers and, thus, improves the quality of the code.

29. While management can set expectations for what work is done, management must not demand how that work is done.

30. Working on one project at a time improves the productivity of a team.27 January 2010 Agile Mëtteg – Agile Enterprise 18 From your experience, what is true?

32. People doing the work are the best ones to understand how to improve the system.

33. Ad hoc in not an acceptable process.

34. Looking at when things are done in a process is a more useful guide than trying to make sure every step of the way is as efficient as possible.

35. Our measure for success must be related to the amount of time between when ideas come in and when they are manifested as value to our customers.

36. Management must work with the team to improve the way it works to improve its own efficiency.

37. Teams are most efficient when the amount of work is limited to their capacity.

38. Team efficiency improves by minimizing the amount of work in progress at any one time.

39. When evaluating actions, we must optimize the whole, not merely improve individual steps in the process.

40. There are principles in software development that must be followed in order to reduce waste.27 January 2010 Agile Mëtteg – Agile Enterprise 19 From your experience, what is true?
