📜 The Satirical Values (with a grain of truth)
▶️ Individuals and interactions OVER results and accountability
Satire: We vibe well in meetings. No one delivers, but everyone feels heard.
Insight: Assign owners after meetings. Being kind and clear aren’t opposites.
▶️ Working software OVER comprehensive documentation
Satire: If it’s not in the 85-page Confluence doc no one reads, did it even happen?
Insight: Document what's reusable and painful to forget. Skip the fluff.
▶️ Customer collaboration OVER loudest stakeholder wins
Satire: Especially the one who just joined the project last week.
Insight: Build structured feedback loops from real customer input, not just hierarchy.
▶️ Responding to change OVER delivering anything concrete
Satire: We pivot so fast we end up right where we started — just in a different Epic.
Insight: Reflect on changes before re-scoping. Timebox pivots.

- Feedback must always be actionable. Even if it's emotional.
- Burndowns are theater. Feelings are data.
- Keep shipping. Keep spiraling. Just not at the same time.
- Culture is a ceremony. Practice it, or it practices you.
- Every blocker has a story. Listen before fixing.
