Four little values.
Twelve principles to follow.
Why is this so hard?

Beautiful order.
Cold political wind blows.
As leaves, so stories.

“I want what I want!”
Screamed the red-faced stakeholder.
Is failure the goal?

Silent cycle time,
Relentless pulse of Kanban
Moves toward good enough.

A depends on B.
An endless iteration.
B depends on A!

This work has a size.
Can you tell me what it is?
I think it’s purple.

Minimum, you say.
And viable, it must be.
And stand on it’s own?

Minimum effort
Seeking the simple path to
Viable product.

The code is frozen.
Phone rings. Last minute changes.
Sound of tests failing.

Help! Show me the way!
Acceptance criteria.
The path is made clear.
