Quotes:
“Yes, and… - This is a collaborative tool to embrace someone else’s idea, but to add your idea onto theirs to make it better. This is the better option over, But, you promised… or I don’t totally agree…”
“How can we maximize the benefit in a down-market to take advantage of future potential? Inspect current situation, then evaluate where you will be (you can learn by going through the Shu Ha Ri growth process). We (as a family) embrace this Inspection and Adaptation”
“At one point, we didn’t think we could do it, BUT, we encouraged each other (as a family team) and we were able to get it done!”
“Your initial reaction may be to overreact and panic because it seems so big, don’t because you will get it done.”
“Scrum and the process itself almost tore my family apart, so we had to go back to the individuals and interactions and focus on staying true to ourselves and what makes our family happy.”
“Keep those Agile Principles in focus and you’re going to be OKAY! (live Agile, be Agile, don’t just do Agile)”
