Agile in a Flash - Card No 5

Agile Success Factors – The Idea
Agile in a Flash by Jeff Langr and Tim Ottinger (card #5)

> Freedom to change
> Energized team
> Communication with customer
> Collaboration
> Attention to quality
> Incrementalism
> Automation

--

Taking the Agile Manifesto’s values and principles one step further, these are the make-or-break factors for a team wanting to be agile:

Freedom to change A team must be allowed to own and change its process. Tampering diverts from shipping quality software.

Energized team A winning agile team is eager to deliver value, collaborates freely, and never bypasses quality controls even under pressure.

Communication with customer The best agile teams are in constant dialogue with an enthusiastic, individual, dedicated customer who understands and communicates the product vision.

Collaboration Get past cube mentality! Meetings aren’t collaboration; working together in your code base is.

Attention to quality Lack of attention slows you down until you can no longer meet customer demand. Make quality part of everything you do.

Incrementalism Yet- small er steps to everything (including retrospection) allow you to verify whether each step got you closer to the end goal.

Automation Agile cannot work unless you automate as many menial, tedious, and error-prone tasks as possible. There’s just not enough time!
