I like this focused list. I’m always in favour of understanding the need for methodologies yet at times too many people use a methodology name as an excuse and alternative to saying “I want it now, I don’t care how, and I’m not interested in excuses nor if there are problems. But make sure there are no problems.”

Common sense, teamwork and cooperation can help us embrace the salient features of different methodologies without the barriers and no-entry poses sometimes presented by leaders or masters in the name of leading-edge box-ticking, often forgetting that we’re working with people. I’ve not seen many unhappy yet productive, professional and inclusive workers, in any field. Explanations, regular feedback and carrying a team with you can help to reduce stress of everyone in the team.

Processes are key to this, irrespective of the ideology.
