11. In hierarchical organizations
bringing change is difficult.
Also, team members see
growth as getting bigger job
title rather than adding more
value…

Not only working software,
but also well-crafted software
Not only responding to change,
but also steadily adding value

but also a community of professionals
Not only customer collaboration,
but also productive partnerships
