Adding Agile To Your Process
Q&A
Agile ManifestoIndividuals and interactions
over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
12 Agile PrinciplesSatisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of
valuable software
Welcome changing requirements, and harness change for the
customer’s competitive advantage
Deliver working software frequently, with a preference to a shorter
timescale
Business people and developers must work together daily
throughout the project
12 Agile PrinciplesBuild projects around motivated individuals; give them the
environment, support and trust they need
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information
is face-to-face conversation
Working software is the primary measure of progress
Agile processes promote sustainable development. Everyone
should be able to maintain a constant pace, indefinitely
12 Agile PrinciplesContinuous attention to technical excellence and good design
enhances agility
Simplicity -- the art of maximizing the amount of work not done --
is essential
The best architectures, requirements, and designs, emerge from
self-organizing teams
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more
effective, then tunes and adjusts behavior accordingly
