We’d love to say our ideas and solutions are groundbreaking. Revolutionary. Unparalleled.
But basically, we just apply the values and principles found on the Agile Manifesto when approaching problems and dilemmas.
Walk through the values and principles.
If you’re stuck on a problem with the way your team is working or how others are interacting with your team, using the Manifesto might give you the fresh perspective you need to think outside the box and within your values.
The myth of the “agile” team.
Just because you have daily standups, huddles, scrums, does not mean you are agile.
Just because you have an agile project manager, does not mean that they have an agile mindset.
So, how can you be sure your team is agile?
Compare the behaviors of your team with the Agile Manifesto with its four values:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
