  3. Agile Principles for every day work • Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery • Welcome changes, even late in the project • Deliver frequently • You and your client must work together daily throughout the project. • Build projects around motivated individuals.  Give them the environment and support they need,  and trust them to get the job done. • The most efficient and effective method of  conveying information is face-to-face conversation. • Agile processes promote sustainable work.  Everyone should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. • Continuous attention to excellence and good design enhances agility. • Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. • The best results emerge from self-organizing teams/individuals. • At regular intervals, reflect on how to become more effective, then tune and adjust behavior accordingly.

  6. Exercise 1 Draw a House….

  7. There is a door on the lower floor in the middle of the house. On each side of the door there is a window. On the upper floor, there are three windows evenly spaced across the house. The house has a pitched roof. There is a chimney. The house has a garage. The house has a fence around a garden. The fence has a gate. There is a path from the door of the house to the gate. The garden has a tree.

  8. Focus

  9. The Myth of Multi-Tasking • When most people talk about multitasking they really mean switching tasks. • No matter how they do it switching rapidly between two things is not as efficient as focusing on one thing to completion • A brain attempting to perform two tasks simultaneously will, because of the back-and-forth stress exhibit a substantial lag in information processing
