Let people work naturally instead of learning a rigid interface.
The work should move through conversation, not software administration.
Construction work is full of information, decisions, handoffs, and changing conditions. Most systems ask builders to stop working in order to manage the software.

Let people work naturally instead of learning a rigid interface.
Keep decisions, scope, progress, and responsibility connected as work changes.
Make the state of the project easier for builders and clients to understand.
