General

• Does everyone speak up? (rework, google, aristotle)
  • 5 characteristics of highly performing teams have to be in place. https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/five-keys-to-a-successful-google-team/
• Are essential meetings in place. This usually means refinement sessions, dailies, review sessions and planning sessions.
• Are stories small enough? This is the same as the “is cycle time low”.
  • Cut stories down to small increments
  • Think about clever ways to deliver to the client - fast.
  • Small iterations
• Are stories delivered end-to-end?
