Names Examination Team Principles

The following is a list of principles that will help to guide our conduct and decisions as a team throughout the Names Examination project.

Leverage of the CSI Lab Community

Contribute to the Community

Blue Sky – Everything is on the table, be open to new ideas and approaches

Scent-free Workspace

Plain Language/no jargon or explain jargon

There are no Stupid Questions – Ask, talk, challenge, confirmation

Real Time Documentation

Seek/Gain decisions quickly – why and move on. Can always be re-visited.

Flexibility to alter course

No Test (acceptance criteria), no commit

-Product backlog (may not be fully articulated and should not be duplicates) & then pull in to sprint period – meant to committee to that and be realistic and not have a lot of work in progress, better to have a smaller level.

Validate assumptions - No biases to new thought - Don’t allow existing structures & rules to influence what we’re trying to do

– develop a good product. Which interfaces with next point

Challenge Biases

Identify organizational Impacts - favour experimentation over resolution. Path Finder

• Risk capture (someone from security group that may see things that are issues – Ian & Carol), resulting in operational tweak’s.

Trust/Transparency in the Community

Open Communication Model

All project related things go in a repository – not on laptop.
