What are ways to lead, inspire, and guide them?

This post continues my ongoing series revisiting the principles behind the Agile Manifesto. This time we are focussing on the following Agile principle – “At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjust its behavior accordingly.” Pausing regularly to do this seems like common sense.

Why do we build unnecessary products? Why do we deliver poor quality? Why are we most often too late? Why are most products more expensive than expected?

An eCommerce marketplace is a platform that connects buyers and sellers. The marketplace model has grown in popularity for two reasons: It allows companies to tap into new markets outside of their traditional reach and reduces some costs associated with operating an online store.
