- Integrate the code as fast as possible, the code that is not ready should be disabled by feature flags.
- Deliver frequently, deploy frequency improves quality, decreases rework.
- Enable fast flow from development to production by reducing variability and batch sizes (slice big tasks, deliver often).
- Visualize team goals and targets, actively monitor and visualize performance to goals/targets. Visualize and minimize WIP.
- Eliminate unnecessary controls (code review, QA, manager's approval), automate quality, invest in team capabilities and autonomy.
- High cooperation, knowledge sharing, novelty and innovations are highly welcomed.
