Description
Agility is surrounded with the expectation that things will happen quickly – teams will ramp up fast, agility will spread quickly and easily, and projects will immediately start delivering value faster. What’s the right mindset to have about speed in Agile practice?
- As the saying goes, you have so slow down before you can speed up.
- If you slow down and execute with precision and quality, you will be – and appear – faster than if you hurry through things and create more mistakes
- Teams need to learn to practice fundamentals to perfection and THEN speed up
- This mindset also helps ease the panic and overwhelm of getting started, which trips up a lot of new teams, because the prevailing attitude is one of Doing What We Can and Improving As We Learn.
