B: Why what?
A: Why do you want to make it faster?
B: Because the users and customers want it
to be faster.
A: Why do they want it to be faster?
B: I don’t know… I suppose faster is better!
A: Why is it better?
B: Well… it’s a small box and people don’t
have anything to do there, so they just get
bored.
A: So, the goal is to prevent boredom rather
than to increase speed!

micro.P3.express is a variation of it
designed for micro-projects with a
few team members. Similar to
P3.express, it’s open, free, and
minimalist.
DSDM®: This is a sophisticated,
well-structured, first-generation
Agile methodology. You can find a
free online version of its manual on
their website.
Scrum: There’s an (official) Scrum
Guide available online, but it’s a
short document and you may prefer
to read a book about it instead.
There are so many books about it,
but many of them are only
collections of clichés about Scrum,
so make sure you select a deep,
meaningful book about it.
Specialized guides
Behavioral competences: There
are many great books about critical
thinking, leadership, motivation,
