Twitter is full of jokes about how teams say they do agile but don鈥檛 鈥榬eally鈥� do it. The reality is that getting the most out of agile is less about observing specific procedures and more about how a team focuses and measures their progress.

This week, you鈥檒l learn how to define and prioritize what鈥檚 important to your team in the areas of learning and deciding, and to pair those with relevant agile practices from Scrum, XP, and kanban.
