1.
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
2.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple
shorter timescale.
4.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
7.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
10.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
11.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
13.
We are aware of and acknowledge the systems in which we work

1. Focus: Focus on a few things at a time. 2. Courage: Scrum is all about change. 3. Openness: Everything in your project, and everyone else's project, is transparent and available for inspection and improvement. 4. Commitment: Scrum team members must be committed to success and be willing to create realistic goals and stick to them. 5. Respect: Each team member is selected for his
weaknesses and opportunities to learn and grow. Each participant must respect everyone else. It's the golden rule within scrum.

I Independent Avoid introducing dependencies. Can lead to difficulty prioritizing and planning N Negotiable Negotiation breeds collaboration with the team and project stakeholders Do not need too many details Not a written contract V Valuable Value to the Product Owner, client, customer & end user E Estimable Stories are planning tools. The team should be able to estimate them. Domain & technical knowledge, story size S Sized appropriately Can be predictably completed and delivered. Smaller stories for near future, Epics (larger stories) for the future T Testable Story ‘acceptance’ or conditions of satisfaction define when we are ‘done’

Key: “Defining Done” A key to a higher performing team and to projecting a difference through your leadership is facilitating a discussion around what it means to be ‘done’ at every stage of the work flow.

We ‘Always’ do… ‘Sometimes’ we do… We are ‘not yet’ doing…
Discuss what feels practical for the team Address any concerns, questions or confusion Put into action! (Display) Review & adjust as needed
