Agile Vision
by Dan Fuller and Chris Waggoner
Successful Agile
transformations tend to
have Agile core values
aligned to two of these
four value patterns.
When organizations
identify around three
or more of these core
values as future state
goals, the inherent
differences between
value pairs gives rise
to situations where
goals start to compete
against each other.
Optimizing for one
value often means
sub-optimizing for the
“competing” value.
