Beyond AI: Small Teams, Fast Releases, and the Real Key to Software Agility

Agile Principles: Smaller, cross-functional, empowered teams, frequent releases, and limited work in progress improve software delivery speed and adaptability, requiring cultural shifts for success.

1. Smaller teams are better value/$ spent.
2. More frequent releases accelerate learning what has real value.
3. Limiting work in progress – solving one problem at a time – increases delivery throughput.
4. Cross-functional teams experience fewer bottlenecks and blockers than specialised teams.
5. Empowered, self-organising teams spend less time waiting for decisions and more time getting sh*t done.
