Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Principles Are Your Guide1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable
software. 2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage. 3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale. 4. Business people & developers must work together daily throughout project.5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.7. Working software is the primary measure of progress. 8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, & users should be
able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. 9. Continuous attention to technical excellence & good design enhances agility. 10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. 11. The best architectures, reqs, & designs emerge from self-organizing teams.12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html Kevin Burns of DevJam

How many of you think you’re collaborating enough?
How much is enough?

Is the customer accepting stories mid-sprint or waiting until the end of the sprint?
What percent of stories are planned but not accepted during the sprint?
