“Being Agile”Relevance in Agile Software Development
Agile manifesto starts with
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
The most efficient and effective method ofconveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
How it is relevant?
