Truly embracing agile can be a very hard task; agile practices are mostly learned and experienced, not something that you can easily glean from a book or article “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”-Vince Lombardi Perfection is a fallacy that leads to over planning, procrastination and failure to ship; agile is about focusing on delivering the best thing possible in a set time period. "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”– Muhammad Ali Service leadership and selflessness are foundation principles of agile; these are the prices to be paid to be part of an agile team.“ You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.”– George Lucas Agile is about doing as opposed to being paralyzed by over-planning; in agile you get the minimal necessary requirements and start working.“ Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”– Stephen Hawking Agile is all about adapting to change; it was built on the foundational principle that business drivers will change and the development teams must be ready to adapt.” If you can dream it, you can do it.”– Walt Disney We should never forget that agile was formed to find a way to develop software better and to more easily conquer our dreams. -Laurie Douglas #herihp #happy #agile #lovely #happythoughts #thought #better
