Focus on customer behaviour before technology
Do more, not lessfor mobile
Break large systems into smaller, faster moving components so you can better respond to change
Whatever you do, use short iterations,
measure and learn quickly.

“Nulla facilisi. Phasellus mollis nibh eget
tortor cursus congue. Vivamus velit tortor,
sodales sed feugiat in, gravida eu turpis.
Pellentesque quis neque at libero malesuada
tincidunt a in risus. Maecenas.”
