Lean Startup (for product and software development)

Or it could have been called “geeks to execs”. Now for a fast forward, to today. Emerging trends and practices include those that fuse business, design and […]
Agile Principle 12 – Team reflects, tunes and adjusts
February 15, 2011 by Dave Kohrell
The last principle of the Agile Manifesto provides for learning and adjustment by the team. This adjustment allows for continuous process improvement.
