Agile Principles and Mindset

Explore, embrace, and apply agile principles and mindset within the context of the project team and organization.

Value-Driven Delivery

Deliver valuable results by producing high-value increments for review, early and often, based on stakeholder priorities. Have the stakeholders provide feedback on these increments and use this feedback to prioritize and improve future increments.

Stakeholder Engagement

Promote participation and collaboration throughout the project life cycle and provide the tools for effective and informed decision making.

Team Performance

Create an environment of trust, learning, collaboration, and conflict resolution that promotes team self-organization, enhances relationships among team members, and cultivates a culture of high performance.

Adaptive Planning

Produce and maintain an evolving plan, from initiation to closure, based on goals, values, risks, constraints, stakeholder feedback, and review findings.

Problem Detection and Resolution

Continuously identify problems, impediments, and risks; prioritize and resolve in a timely manner; monitor and communicate the problem resolution status; and implement process improvements to prevent them from occurring again.
