==== 1. Definition of an AGILE TEAM ====

Agile teams work in a highly collaborative way, adopting the most effective communication techniques for their situation and striving to work together as closely as possible.  
The aim is to ensure that:
* Everyone feels part of the team, moving in the same direction.
* The team includes all the people needed to complete the task. An autonomous team must have the skills and knowledge needed to get the job done. Specialists may be called in if necessary.
* Each team member contributes according to his/her means. The team is made up of multidisciplinary members;
* The team is self-organised. The people best placed to plan and organise the work are those who actually do the work. This results in more accurate estimates, more realistic deadlines and greater team commitment to the plan;
* The team maintains a steady pace; everyone works closely together, avoiding discouragement.
