conveyed by the customer

so it’s important to get the vision right

19. Management
Manage according
to feedback from
each deliverable
Feedback drives change
Expect that planned
outcomes will change
Accept that requirements
cannot be known well
enough in the beginning

Coach

21. Management
Clear Obstacles
Coach intra-team behavior
Make it safe for the project nemesis

22. Safety
Safety is most important
Team members must attack problems, not each other
It must be safe to speak and act to break up group think

the project compelling
Management makes it practical
Team work makes it possible
