2. Agile Principles  Variability and uncertainty  Prediction and adaptation  Validated learning  Work in progress  Progress  Performance copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker (From Essential Scrum)

3. Variability and Uncertainty  Enhance helpful variability  Employ iterative and incremental development  Leverage variability through inspection, adaption, and transparency  Reduce all forms of uncertainty simultaneously copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

4. Prediction & Adaptation  Keep options open  Accept that you can’t get it right up front  Favor an adaptive, exploratory approach  Embrace change in an economically sensible way  Balance predictive up-front work with adaptive just-in-time work copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

5. Validated Learning  Validate important assumptions fast  Leverage multiple concurrent learning loops  Organize workflow for fast feedback copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

6. Work in Progress  Use economically sensible batch sizes  Recognize inventory and manage it for good flow  Focus on idle work, not idle workers  Consider cost of delay copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

7. Progress  Adapt to real-time information and replan  Measure progress by validating working assets  Focus on value-centric delivery copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

8. Performance  Go fast but never hurry  Build in quality  Employ minimally sufficient ceremony copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J. Sebern, Robert W. Hasker

Why the list?  Enhance variability  Iterative, incremental development  Variability  Reduce all uncertainty simultaneously  Keep options open  Accept can’t get it right up front  Favor adaption, exploration  Embrace change  Balance predictive/adaptive  Validate important assumptions fast  Concurrent learning loops  Workflow: fast feedback  Sensible batch sizes  Manage inventory  Focus on idle work  Consider cost of delay  Adapt and replan  Measure progress by working assets  Value-centric delivery  Go fast but never hurry  Build in quality  Minimally sufficient ceremony copyright 2012-2014 by Mark J.
