Management (5)
Guideline 1:
Don’t trust the team or agile. Micromanage both your team members and the process.

If agile isn’t a silver bullet, blame agile.

Equate self-managing with self-leading and provide no direction to the team whatsoever.

Ignore the agile practices. They don’t apply to management.

Team (4)
Guideline 6:
Continually fail to deliver what you committed to deliver during iteration planning.

Team (4)
Guideline 7:
Cavalierly move work forward from one iteration to the next. It’s good to keep the product owner guessing about what will be delivered.

Team (4)

Do not create cross-functional teams. Put all the testers on one team, all the programmers on another, and so on.

Team (4)
Guideline 9:
Large projects need large teams. Ignore studies that show productivity decreases with large teams due to increased communication overhead. Since everyone needs to know everything, invite all fifty people to the daily standup.

Don’t pay attention to the progress of each iteration and objectively evaluate the value of that progress.

Product Owner (4)
