Self-actualized Agile teams embrace failure as the key opportunity to progress in work. They embrace "Failing Fast". They continuously improve themselves and their work. Read more below.
We're far along in the Agile self-actualization pyramid! Teams who are psychologically safe service leaders who are self-organized in their work can start continuously improving their work.
Continuous Improvement
Agile teams fail often. They do not look at failure in judgement, but celebration. Failure could mean that their plan didn't follow through. It could mean that a teammate didn't do something they said, or they tried and it didn't work out. Failure could mean that someone didn't show up.
Everything that "fails" on an Agile team is looked at as learning opportunities. Teams intentionally build small value in their releases so that they can deliver quickly and "fail fast", or learn from the delivery.
Teams who are continuously improving use retrospectives and reflection moments to listen and learn from feedback received.
Teams who are continuously improving aren't perfectionists, and they don't treat their teammates as perfectionists. They experiment with something that mat not work, and deliver quickly to get feedback quickly. They iterate by making adjustments based on feedback received.
