CONDUCT

The movement for product excellence is forwarded by these assertions:
1. PEOPLE FIRST> no one and nothing life affirming is harmed at any point
of the product lifecycle.
2. Questioning the status quo and the unknown.
3. Discovering the market first.
4. Empowering people with knowledge.
5. Function precedes process and form.
6. Implementing tools & methods with empathy
7. Long tail view
8. Cross functional, cross-discipline and cross-team collaboration.
9. Bias towards action, inclusion, transparency, win/win, diversity,
quantifiable results, and continuous learning organizations.
10. Progress not perfection. http://productsummit.org/the-movement-
