This includes ideas big and small, as well as the ones I just throw in for the fun of it. Every now and then I stumble upon something someone says, said or wrote somewhere that expresses these values in words, like I\u2019ve never seen better. Thus here&#8217;s the most expressive quotes on agile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore I want to communicate well. There definitely are patterns in my (probably all of our) language that in hindsight I don\u2019t like, but can\u2019t prevent me from still using. Again sometimes people say phrases that stick with me so well, they influence the way I speak. It\u2019s sentences that trigger once I use the disliked pattern, so I can catch myself before (best case) or latest immediately after (normal case) I miscommunicate. These, too, I want to share with you here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Most important one of the quotes that make me work the way I work: &quot;Stop Starting, Start Finishing&quot; &#8212; Sterling Mortensen (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/applyinglean?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@applyinglean<\/a> according to <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P8P8rRdTYW\">https:\/\/t.co\/P8P8rRdTYW<\/a>, but I got to it via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/henrikkniberg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@henrikkniberg<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/softwaredevelopment?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#softwaredevelopment<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/agile?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#agile<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProjectManagement?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProjectManagement<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Scrum?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Scrum<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Kanban?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Kanban<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/lean?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#lean<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Robert Kalweit (@EU_GamerAgilist) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EU_GamerAgilist\/status\/940942614093803520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2017<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have used this quote so many times.

Technology being the product of the culture building it, most certainly is a bit of a generalization of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Conway%27s_law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conway&#8217;s Law<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201corganizations which design systems &#8230; are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Still I like the quote for its brevity and exactly the higher context: Culture goes much deeper than organizational structure. If you have great culture, a temporarily bad restructuring might well be overcome. Yet in an unfit organizational structure no good culture can emerge from a bad one.

We all try to leave personal stuff at home, but eventually it\u2019s personal connections that shape a company\u2019s culture. How can we create strong personal connections without becoming personal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Starting to quote ppl from work who influenced me.
