Are you Ready yet?

!   Do you talk stories or use cases? !   Do you talk spikes or design ? !   Is your CI ready and running? !   Do you have your test environments ready? !   Do you know who your product owner is? !   Are you ready to invest 3 months to try this out? !   Can you tell your customer they are not ready?
