Chapter 3. Agile Principles > Performance
Performance
There are specific performance-related characteristics we expect when using Scrum. I describe three agile principles related to this topic:
• Employ minimally sufficient ceremony.
Go Fast but Never Hurry
Plan-driven development believes that if we follow the plan and do things right the first time, we’ll avoid costly and time-consuming rework. Moving from step to step quickly is of course desirable, but it isn’t a principal goal.
In Scrum, one core goal is to be nimble, adaptable, and speedy. By going fast, we deliver fast, we get feedback fast, and we get value into the hands of our customers sooner. Learning and reacting quickly allow us to generate revenue and/or reduce costs sooner.
