Guidelines & suggestions for Us

  • Use the updated backlog (prioritized list of requests or tasks) as a tool for measuring and monitoring the current project status
  • Think about the customers’ interests
  • If you happen to hand-in something else beyond your customers’ expectations (over deliver), make sure your customers take note of that
  • TDD!
  • Provide effective communications: clear, explicit, visual, and precise communications in order to facilitate other team member's work
  • Remember to always build a shippable product increment
  • Be creative, come up with great ideas
  • Master the art of saying "no"
  • Inform others what you are working on
  • Share good and bad news
  • Focus on just one single goal each time
  • Give your customers clear, proper and honest work commitments
  • Ask your customers what their desires are, but do not be hesitate to respectfully challenge them if you believe you have a better idea
  • Do not be just agreeable if you do not honestly agree. Not only it is worthless, but also a lie
  • The more you give - and the less you expect-, the easier life becomes
  • Be supportive and collaborative: We are a team!
