An introduction
Deliver Value Continuously is one of the 4 guiding principles of Modern Agile.
The other three are:
Make People Awesome
Experiment & Learn Rapidly
Make Safety a Prerequisite
As the Agile Manifesto already stated: “Working software is the primary measure of progress.”
Modern Agile adds to that: what you don’t deliver won’t help anyone become more awesome or safe. It’s about delivering valuable items faster. It requires you to think about how you are going to divide larger amounts of value into smaller pieces that may be delivered now, in a safe way.
Part of a whole
‘Deliver Value Continuously’ is an inseparable part of the Modern Agile wheel. The four guiding principles strengthen each other.
Here are some examples:
When you are delivering fast, but you are focusing on the number of features instead of on value of the features, this may impact the feeling of safety of a colleague at sales. She has to explain to the client why the new delivery again doesn’t have the value they hoped it had.
With experimentation and fast learning you are chartering uncovered grounds fast. Fast feedback enables you to learn what a user really wants early, hence you will have more chances of delivering value.
When you deliver value continuously and fast you can help to make the user feel awesome as they receive so much good stuff.
