Spotting Agile

I know that a team is on the right track when they:

  • deliver on the majority of their commitments each iteration, and at most a portion of one story is incomplete at the end of an iteration
  • deliver stories every 1-3 days, on average, throughout an iteration
  • can tell you relevant statistics about the code base, for example, how many unit tests are there and how long they take to run
  • commit to improvement, and deliver on that commitment, without having to be told--they just do it
  • don't fear open conflict
  • can be seen talking about the code

What other indicators do you have?


Comments:
How about- they don't have any person on the team that is a bottleneck for completing work.
