* Responding to change over following a plan

## Starting a project

* Define MVPs, or what has the highest priority to be delivered
* Initial design with engineers
* Draft a timeline based on initial tasks and deliverables
* Run planning sessions to split the work into manageable chunks
* Define definition of done
* Define best practices and conventions
* Choose programming languages, tools and applications
* Setup a document management system (confluence)
* Setup a board (kanban/scrum) (confluent)
* organise code on a git server (github, gitlab, bitbucket)
