These values sound easy? Well, there are many misunderstandings and common problems when applying these values. Here are some example:
Value
|
Misunderstanding
|
Getting the value right
|
Commitment
|
Committing to something that you don’t understand because you are told to by your boss.
|
Committing yourself to the team and Sprint Goal.
|
Focus
|
Focusing on keeping the customer happy
|
Being focused on the sprint and its goal.
|
Openness
|
Telling everyone everything about all your work
|
Highlighting when you have challenges and problems that are stopping you from success
|
Respect
|
Thinking you are helping the team by being a hero
|
Helping people to learn the things that you are good at and not judging the things that others aren’t good at.
|
Courage
|
Even after the decision has been made continuing to push back
|
Being transparent, but willing to change even if that means accepting that you are wrong, or that your opinion is not the direction that the team is going.

- Both $1 million house and $100 million house are house.
- Focus on 20% efforts to make 80% result.
