Agile
- A simple start is good, but using the same simple start everywhere is not
- Enabling the adding of practices is good, giving guidance on which ones to add and providing them is even better
- Some practices are really good, but none are optimal everywhere, so demanding everyone do them can be counter productive
- Making it easy to adopt a framework is good, but doing it by leaving out critical parts is not
- Adding functionality to a system is good, but it shouldn’t require making the system complicated
- Incorporating practices from other mindsets is good, but pretending that this means your approach has the same mindset is not
- Recognizing that most companies need to do similar things is good, pretending this means most companies need to start the same way is not
