Continuous Improvement & Agile Execution
These principles emphasize Agile's iterative nature and the importance of continuous feedback and learning to improve processes and deliver value efficiently.
| Concept | Agile Relevance | Usage in Agile |
|---|---|---|
| Deming Wheel (PDCA) | The Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle for continuous improvement. | Drives Sprint Retrospectives, Kaizen events, Lean Six Sigma, and continuous experimentation in Agile teams. |
| Boyd's Law of Iteration | "The speed of iteration beats the quality of iteration." | Encourages Agile teams to deliver small, incremental changes faster (MVP approach, Lean Startup, DevOps CI/CD pipelines) instead of waiting for perfection. |
