How do you highlight the reasons to why we work Agile, the problems it can potentially solve, and values and principles? And do it very briefly. At the same time, also cover the difference between waterfall development and Agile in two aspects and the most common Agile practice, basic Scrum? Again very briefly. Good question. Right? And add a few Lean practices to the mix. How about just one poster that shows all of it? Here it is.

How do you let go of the things that don’t matter as much, especially when they are in the sprint? Have a look.
The problem in 2016 is that competitors are looking for people as well and recruiters are getting more aggressive by the day. How do you keep a group of people like that together?
