This seems like the buzzword at the Agile conference this year. I've heard it many many times throughout the conference. We can put any word at the end of this buzzword, honest:
- High-performance teams
- High-performance organizations
- High-performance processes
- High-performance servers
- High-performance <insert your word here>
With words like these, I guess the gap between Agilists and business people is finally closing!
Speaking about business, there was an excellent session about the gap between Agile and upper management: What Are They Doing - What a CIO Wants To Know From An Agile Development Team. I strongly suggest looking at the presentation (included in the link) and if you're an engineer, focus on the slide of being helpful rather than right!
