Fastest path to customer
•Start now!
•Question the amount of planning or readiness required before a team engages
•Ask questions – focus on learning what you don’t know but need to know
•Value vision over a concrete plan or fixed scope
•Seek feedback and constantly measure success
•Focus on what’s valuable to do or learn first
•Determine what’s first, then what’s next after that
•Build a flexible plan that allows adaptation when learning happens
•Value progress over perfection
•Be risk tolerant
•Be creative – challenge assumptions about what’s absolutely required
15. FASTEST PATH TO VALUE
By creating small, focused, consistent and empowered teams, we’re reducing meetings, eliminating decision making delay, and driving aggressively toward business value.
By releasing many small, iterative features, we can learn from what we do and reduce risk.
By consistently measuring progress, we can learn and adjust quickly based on early results.
