Episode notes

- Agility is a mindset centered on cadence: stop, think, get feedback, then continue.
- Regular short pauses recharge creativity and direct where you want to go.

- Hiring tech talent must include caring about delivered customer value, not just technical skill.
- Great developers who only love the craft risk delivering the wrong thing.

- Invite stakeholders, leaders, or customers to sprint reviews to get real feedback and alignment.
- Don’t treat reviews as internal demonstrations; make them collaboration forums.
