The resulting “Spiro Wave” is now approved for hospital use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Agile principle #1: Organize around valueBoth the Mirakl and Spiro Wave teams had a well-defined problem they sought to solve, which provided them a clear purpose. The Spiro Wave team knew, for example, that New York faced a shortage of ventilators, largely because they are difficult and expensive to manufacture.
