Understand your flow efficiency (work time / lead time), eliminate sources of waste and optimize the flow of value to your clients. 2. Identify all the sources of work, set and adhere to a balanced (70/30) approach to planned and unplanned work. 3. Don’t waste too much time sizing, estimating, scheduling and planning.

And sorry, there’s no silver bullet. Spend time coaching your teams and invest time in training. Then, Go ahead Be Agile. Read – goo.gl/9BMm93
