10 Keys to Agility

1. Deliver working software in small iterations, early and often.
2. Gather frequent feedback, hold retrospectives, learn and adjust.
3. Work in colocated, collaborative, multi-discipline teams.
4. Empower your teams with shared vision and responsibility.
5. Use direct, immediate communication (talk a lot).
6. Break work in to small tasks, performed just-in-time.
7. Maintain high quality and good design - avoid "debt."
8. Strive for simple and minimal solutions.
9. Work with a sustainable, predictable pace.
10. Have fun!
