“Lean Startup uses a feedback loop called
‘build-measure-learn’ to minimize project
risk and gets teams building quickly and
learning quickly. Teams build Minimum
Viable Products (MVPs) and ship them
quickly to begin the process of learning as
early as possible”
Borrowed from Jeff Gothelf's Lean UX

"innovation powered by.. direct observation
of that people want and need in their lives
and what they like or dislike about the way
particular products are made, packaged,
marketed, sold, and supported… [It’s] a
discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility
and methods to match people’s needs with
what is technologically feasible and what a
viable business strategy can convert into
costumer value and market opportunity.”

Very hard to be good at all that
Teams, at the other hand, should strive for
multi-disciplinarity
WE DON’T NEED AN ARCHITECT - FOWLER
14
All important decisions go though him
His value is proportional to the numbers of decisions he takes
He doesn’t trust in the team
Keep an eye the future of the project and the backlog
Code with the team in the morning, attend business meetings in the afternoon
Coach and mentor to the team
His value is inversely proportional to the number of decisions he takes
THE JAVA DEVELOPER - SINGLE LANGUAGE DEFENDER
Java is the only language that is worth using. Replace Java with your favorite language.
Only work with Weblogic, etc. Replace Weblogic with your favorite web and application server.
Front end development must be JSF. Replace JSF with your favorite framework.
15
Favor the client needs, not our favorite technology.
Using new technologies sometimes drive to product innovation

What to do
A Restless Developer recognises Agile times demands new skills, technical and
non-technical.
He is not only striving to develop these skills himself, as he is fighting and
leading the team for that.
