So much conflict starts with missing this point...

We don’t want documentation; we want shared knowledge.

We don’t want issue trackers; we want visible work.

We don’t want team retrospectives; we want teams to continually improve.

We don’t want microservices; we want code bases that don’t keep teams from working safely and independently.

We don’t want pull requests; we want peer review.

We don’t want peer review; we want quality in our code.

We don’t want code; we want solutions to business problems.
