Jim Highsmith Quote: “Innovation delivers products that we can barely imagine. Efficiency and optimization are appropriate drivers for a production project, whereas innovation and creativity should drive an exploration-type project. A production mindset can restrict our vision to what appears doable. An exploration mindset helps us explore what seems impossible.”

Jim Highsmith Quote: “The ability to respond to change is good. The ability to create change for competitors is even better. When you create change you are on the competitive offensive. When you respond to competitors’ changes you are on the defensive. When you can respond to change at any point in the development lifecycle, even late, then you have a distinct advantage.”

Jim Highsmith Quote: “Effective project leaders focus on people, product, and process – in that order. Without the right people, nothing gets built. Without a laser focus on product value, extraneous activities creep in. Without a minimum process framework, there can be inefficiency and possibly a little chaos.”

Jim Highsmith Quote: “Executives, project leaders, and development teams must embrace a different view of the new product development world, one that not only recognizes change in the business world, but also understands the power of driving down iteration costs to enable experimentation and emergent processes.

Jim Highsmith Quote: “Newtonian versus quantum, predictability versus flexibility, optimization versus adaptation, efficiency versus innovation – all these dichotomies reflect a fundamentally different way of making sense about the world and how to manage effectively within it.”

Jim Highsmith Quote: “Driving exploration is critical, but knowing when to stop is also. Product development is exploring with a purpose, delivering value within a set of constraints. Frequent, timeboxed iterations compel the development and product teams and executives to make difficult tradeoff decisions early and often during the project. Feature delivery contributes to realistic evaluations because product managers can look at tangible, verifiable results.”
