Episode 58 – Slow Is Smooth, Smooth Is Fast

Agility is surrounded with the expectation that things will happen quickly - teams will ramp up fast, agility will spread quickly and easily, and projects will immediately start delivering value faster.   What’s the right mindset to have about speed in Agile practice? As the saying goes, you have so slow down before you can speed up. If you slow down and execute with precision and quality, you will be - and appear - faster than if you hurry through things and create more mistakes Teams need to learn to practice fundamentals to perfection and THEN speed up This mindset also helps ease the panic and overwhelm of getting started, which trips up a lot of new teams, because the prevailing attitude is one of Doing What We Can and Improving As We Learn.
