An effective Agile Team focuses on delivering value by reliably deploying features that meet customer needs.
Value Delivery: The primary measure of success for an Agile team is the continuous delivery of valuable, working software.
Customer Focus: Teams work collaboratively to understand and deliver what is most valuable to customers.
Incremental Progress: Regularly delivering increments of the product that are potentially shippable ensures continuous feedback and improvement.
This characteristic emphasizes the Agile principle of delivering working software frequently, with a focus on customer value.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Aren't Agile teams supposed to be cross-functional and adaptable? I'm not sure if any of these options fully capture that. I'll have to think it through some more.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Agile teams are supposed to be self-managing, but I'm not sure if that means they don't use any manager input. Let me think this through carefully.
