The Agile Principles For Product Owners – Part 3
Agile Principles 11 and 12
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
While it is a product owner’s job to bridge the gap between the different roles within a team, this doesn’t mean they should micromanage. A great agile team is self-organizing and takes on its own direction. Having skilled and motivated team members who have decision-making power, communicate and take ownership of the project deliver quality products.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
Reflection is an important part of Agile. Teams should always seek to become better and just because they have done things a certain way for a long time doesn’t mean it should continue that way. Taking time to reflect on how to become more effective helps move a project forward and a team becomes more efficient.
