## Is there one for this meetup?

## Remind ourselves how we want to behave

## As with team agreements, declaring our shared intentions helps us live up to them

Anyone involved with Agile (or "Agile").

Any role.

Any scale.

XP is not defined to include this question.

But it's a very XP question. (Watch [Kent Beck ask it](https://youtube.com/shorts/TERSgM3jwOg?si=KNGWEMLJ6J9db5w_).)

Let's come back to this.

_Some_ of it's about what programmers do.

_All_ of it's about what non-programmers need.

(It might be Extreme for programmers. Depending on their upbringing.)

1. R
2. O
3. I

## How:

- Give us good options to choose from

### How:

- Risk intentionality + cost control
- Situational awareness
- Predictability (in some actually useful way)
- Conserve "surprise!" budget for discoveries

- Informative Workspace
- Energized Work
- Stories
- Weekly Cycle
- Quarterly Cycle
- Slack
- Ten-Minute Build
- Incremental Design

(Kent Beck with Cynthia Andres, _XP Explained_, 2nd ed.)

XP is also defined by its Values and Principles.

These practices are strategies for enacting them.

A few:

- Systems Thinking
- Theory of Constraints
- Psychology of Computer Programming
- Lean

_XP Explained_ has a wide-ranging bibliography.
]

---

- Agile
- Scrum
- Crystal
- FAST
- Domain Driven Design
- Trunk-Based Development

Many, many conceptual connections. Impossible to list them all.

Managing software projects like any other kind of project.

Divvying up work to each person. _Someone else_ divvying up work to each person.

Not talking about risks. Not worrying about maintenance costs.

Not talking to customers. Not involving developers in customer problem-solving.

Treating developers like interchangeable parts. Squeezing them harder hoping for better results.

Investing a great deal of money, time, and effort without opportunities for feedback.

"How's that working out for you?"

Ah, there it is.

## _Compared to what?_
