These are things that are important for our team:


 * We acknowledge the work done by team members. This doesn't mean that all work makes it into production.  But it does mean that work is reviewed, acknowledged, and a decision is made.
 * We build stuff that users get excited about (and use!).
 * Team health: we work in a way that is long-term sustainable and healthy for the team.
 * We make each other better by challenging each other, and do so in a manner which is respectful and sustainable.
 * We do things iteratively. Get features in front of actual users quickly so we can learn and iterate.
 * We remain adaptable. We should be open to changing our plans when new information presents itself.
 * We shouldn't be too personally attached to a feature. We should be prepared to cut features.
 * Be honest with each other.
 * Bring in stories from outside of work. Our non-work selves provide another view into who we are.  Plus, it's just fun to get to know each other.
 * We have a shared commitment and excitement about our work.
 * We are committed to team processes. We believe that processes are living things that may need to evolve over time.
 * We are self directed.
 * We push the envelope when it comes to user experience.
 * We are committed to supporting our office teammates. We are a remote team.
 * Simplify.
