7. 7 Product Mindset  “When you wake up in the morning and you come in to work, you say, ‘What is the focus—are we trying to ship or are we trying to write code?’  The answer is, we are trying to ship. You’re not trying to write code, you’re trying not to write code.”

8. 8 Zero-Defect Mindset  Zero-defect mindset is a commitment to quality.  It means that the team goal is toperform their work at the highest quality possible, so that if they have to deliver tomorrow, they can deliver something.  It’s the idea of having a nearly shippable product every day.  It does not mean delivering code with no defects; it means that the product meets or exceeds the quality bar that was set by the project sponsor and accepted by the team during envisioning.

9. 9 Customer-Focused Mindset  Satisfied customers are priority number one for any great team.  A customer focus throughout development includes a commitment from the team to understand and solve the customer’s business problem.  One way to measure the success of a customer focused mindset is to be able to trace each feature in the design back to a customer or user requirement.

11. 11 Motivated Teams Are Effective  Clarify team vision.   Build team identity, beakers, and so on.   Spend time getting to know colleagues by way of social or team events.  Schedule team-building sessions where team members can experiment with different ways of collaborating and interacting, normally outside the work setting.  Ensure that the individual’s personal goals are considered, such as providing opportunities for personal or technical competency development, or managing the impact on work-life balance.   Maximize the empowerment felt by individuals and listening to their views.   Celebrate success.
