Eliminate waste: Spend time only on what adds real customer value.
Amplify learning: When you have tough problems, increase feedback.
Decide as late as possible: Keep your options open as long as practical, but no longer.
Deliver as fast as possible: Deliver value to customers as soon as they ask for it.
Empower the team: Let people who add value use their full potential.
Build integrity in: Don't try to tack on integrity after the fact, build it in.
See the whole: Beware of the temptation to optimize parts at the expense of the whole.
