This is not another “Agile Framework” where you just follow the rules. Agile development comes from practical learnings and to be effective must be tailored to your organisation. You and your organisation learn, grow and continuously improve.
There are no “right answers”. There are only “good practices” which have been seen to be helpful in the past. By “doing it and helping others do it” you will learn about these and fit them to your own situation. Discard, modify and reshape to suit your situation.

Build your own Playbook from these strategies to grow and scale your own organisation. Tag individual Plays and use the menu item to view your Playbook.
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
