Agile Team Values

Derived from Exploring Scrum : The Fundamentals by Dan Rawsthorne and Doug Shimp.

Openness

There should be no secrets between/amongst team members about things relevant to production; the team members should be open to suggestions from others.

Focus

Everything that the team does must have a focus; and the team members must focus on what is important in everything they do.

Commitment

The team makes and keeps its commitments/agreements, and the team members must have commitment to the team and the product itself.

Respect

Team members believe that people are always doing the best they can do at any given moment; thy respect all points of view, including those of their stakeholders

Courage

The team must have the courage to make reality visible - the courage to say no - and team members must have the courage to be open with each other.

Visibility

The team must make the current state of the product visible; that is, the details of production belong to the team, but the state of the product is available to all.

Sense of Humour

Since everyone is always doing the best they can, everyone needs a sense of humour; if we can't laugh at the things we do, we'd have to cry.
