Key Points

Focus on the things that bring value and decide what not to do on a project
Overcoming self-inflicted limitations: Dennis holds tactical sessions to help teams break free from their own limitations and company culture.
Finding what's valuable and doing nothing else: eliminating waste is more important than improving current processes.
