Pithy Slogans

- Continuous flow; continuous dough
- Stop starting, start finishing
- Right to left, top to bottom

- Focus on the problem not the people
- Don't treasure what you measure
- Treat defects as evidence of missing tests

- Never mistake motion for action
- Yes is easier to say. No is easier to do
- Be quick but don't hurry
- No one has to change; survival is optional
