  6. Tip #2: easy Ask “Why?”

  7. Ask “Why?” Software is a liability Resolving problems with very little software is of great value

  8. Let me tell you a story 1965 - US Army: “We need a cost effective fighter jet that can reach speed of mach3” Many companies tried, one succeeded let me tell you a story

  9. Thunderchief Vs Eagle

  10. That means Refuse solutions to unknown problems understand what the real problem is (asking “why?”) and then resolve that (GojkoAdzic)

  11. What you need Courage Trust Empathy Curious team

  12. Tip #3: Medium See the whole

  13. Have you ever seen this?

  14. What’s the solution?

  15. That means Focus on the full flow Remove barriers, collaborate, be cross functional, remove silo departments, whole team responsibility and accountability, fight suboptimization.

  16. What you need Curious team Empathy No barriers No politics One goal, one direction

  17. Tip #4: Difficult Have zero tolerance for defects

  18. Bugs are waste The worst kind of waste! Don’t write them in the first place! Focus on prevention TDD/BDD Implement fast feedback loops

  19. If a bug slips through Fix it immediately We don’t need to log categorize, sort, triage, asses, fight over BUGS We need to fix them so that our customers are happy A bug management tool is another backlog, ditch it, we’ve done it and we’re happy!

  22. Tip #X: Easy Don’t ask for permission, beg for forgiveness!

  23. What do these things have in common?

  24. They were failures

  25. What does this mean? The wrong answer is the right answer to a different question (Paul Sloane) Experiment, try new things, things you’ve never done before, accept failure and learn from it. Only people that don’t innovate never fail. You can only improve trying new things, you can only innovate trying new things, don’t be afraid of failure

  26. So? Fail often Fail cheap How can I fail cheap? Prototyping, spiking, getting fast feedback, speaking to the customers, getting out of my building and speaking about my idea.

  27. What you need Curious team Courage Desire to learn
