The document discusses agile delivery and transformation from task focus to continuous delivery of value. Key aspects of agile methodology include lean business practices, collaborative ownership through iterative development using Scrum, commitment to quality, and continuous delivery. Agile evolves the traditional waterfall model into time boxed iterations that drive faster delivery of value. It prioritizes individuals, interactions, working software, and customer collaboration over documentation and contracts.

14. Project management to Value management
• Forces decisions back onto the owners 'not the facilitator'
• Leadership is not directive, it is serving
• Assumes human ability to predict is poor; therefore, doesn't
claim to be able to estimate into the future
• Change Management is inherent in the process

16. Why is the team so important
• Self esteem drives productivity
• Ownership is collective; therefore, accountability is assigned
to the individuals
• Choice creates ownership, and greater acceptance of fault
• Difficult to stand & deliver everyday
• Routine, Discipline and continuous learning are essential
19. Impediment Management!
• Anything that blocks the velocity, the delivery, the outcomes
• Tools down, stand-up, resolve
• Scrum master is responsible for removing any blocks to productivity
