Part of the Agile Manifesto says:
People over processes and tools
But what does it mean by 'people'? To me 'people' means:
  • Community that collaborates and shares knowledge, where ba is achieved, not deep hierarchy with strict lines of authority.
  • Self-organisation, not a rigid team structure with fixed roles.
  • Leadership, not management.
  • Empowerment, not control.
  • Open, trusting environment without politics and blame where people have freedom; where people are honest, not disingenuous; where people are aware, not ignorant; where people show courage, not fear; where people take responsibility and are held accountable; where people allowed to ply their craft, make mistakes and learn.
Put the right people in the right environment and trust them to get things done.
