Agile! Wait,
but what?

But it’s also  
so much more!

Individuals and interactions 
– over processes and tools
Customer collaboration  
– over contract negotiation
Responding to change  
– over following a plan

But it’s also  
so much more!
Early and continuous delivery  
– over the finished product.
Harness change  
– for a competitive edge.
Build projects around motivated
individuals  
– trust them to do the job.

Sustainable development – being
able to maintain pace indefinitely
The best work emerges from
self-organized teams.
Reflect on how to become more
effective – at regular intervals.
But it’s also  
so much more!

Rigid planning.
Extensive Documentation.
Top-down approach.
Sequential steps.
Little room for change.

Agile! Wait,
but why?

Because it’s  
an engine for
innovation.

Tips to implement
the right technology

Start by defining the problem, the objective.
This is crucial!

Gather a cross-functional team. Make them
responsible over delivery. Remove controls!

Constantly ask yourself: what’s the smallest
experiment we can do?

Validate everything! Pilot everything! Engage
your stakeholders. Show them what you worked
on. Even better, have them go through the real
experience. Experiment!

Agile is not so much about speed. Is about focus
and being minimalistic, making sure you are on
the right track before you walk 100 miles.

Large projects are divided into smaller projects.
Small projects are divided into even smaller
iterations. And gather feedback on everything!

Simple is  
always better.
