I came across this great slideshow about projects, teams and developers.

Some of the ideas are similar to The Lean Startup.

Other key takeaways for me are:

Consensus & Feedback

• Healthy agile teams run on consensus

• Consensus doesn’t scale. More people = More connections. O(n²) Problem.

• Consensus corrects for the team’s needs

• Feedback corrects for the user’s needs

• Consensus & Feedback => Competes for the same resources!

A Great Developer

• Empathetic = Defend users by adpoting their perspective

• Analytical = Break down large problems

• Visionary = Identify great ideas and simplify

• Scientific = Methodically attacks problems

• Creative = Dreams up new ideas

• Professional = Invests in long-term value & maintainability

• Entrepreneurial = Kills failing projects

• Hungry = Relentlessly improves through learning, practicing and sharing
