Don't use agile software development as a crutch or an excuse for not adding value. Reacting to change and pivoting for your stakeholders only works when you go from one "swimlane" or "track" to another. It doesn't work when you move cyclically from one project to another whenever one seems more important than the other to you, management, stakeholders, etc.

Don't use agile software development as the excuse to have stories "done" in a certain number of sprints. Quarterly predictions should not confine the process to days or weeks.

Remember:

- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
