What is Migaler

It's Mika's Agile and Hacker way of producing Software

Agile is making decisions based on Agile Principles and Agile Values.

Agile manifesto defines 12 Agile principles and 4 values.

Waste is negative value. 9 typical types of waste.

Focus more on Value than Costs

Principle 1: Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software
Value 3: Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Value 4: Responding to change over following a plan
Make sure you add value to the customer!
If you are not producing value to the customer, you are focusing to the wrong topic and thus producing Waste!

Focus more on Agile than Scrum

Value 1: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Agile can be treated as an Adjective
Scrum is more near to process definition, and thus is a noun
I want to make clear separation with Scrum and Agile
If scrum (or other process definition) tells something, ask first will it make sense in Agile point of view

Focus more on reducing waste than improving efficiency

Principle 10: Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount of work not done–is essential.
Value 3: Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Value 4: Responding to change over following a plan
If you don't produce any waste, you cannot improve your efficiency
Measuring efficiency is impossible and thus measuring efficiency is waste
Measuring different kind of waste might be easier and may lead to better outcome
Most wasteful is to build an increment which doesn't add value (produce waste)
Best value can be achieved when most wasteful task can be quickly switched to most valued task
Avoid running to situation where you have spend too much for cancelling the project
