For a while now some colleagues and I have been thinking about how to improve ways of working, and specifically around the limitations of Agile - especially how it's practiced. As has been suggested by others before us, Agile is all too often a cargo cult: surface level features - often ceremonies taken from Scrum - are prioritised over delivery and getting feedback. Our solution to this is a simplified manifesto with exactly one principle: "Deliver value daily", which we're hoping will reshape thinking, at least a little bit.

Full disclosure: I posted an earlier version here about a month ago, but have since refined it a bit, so hopefully it's appropriate to post it again.
