What is Agile?
Agile is a philosophies of values and principles to manage teams and projects.
Agile is an alternative approach to traditional project management. It embraces change while traditional project management fights change.
People across functional teams work together as one team, rather than different groups working in phases or stages.
More human communication, interaction, and face-to-face.
Continuous feedback from users and stakeholders.
Iterations, shorter development cycles, and more frequent releases.
Visibility of progress and transparency of process.
Agile values
Individuals and interactions
Working software
Customer collaboration
Responding to change
over processes and tools
over comprehensive documentation
over contract negotiation
over following a plan
Agile principles
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Agile principles
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly. Flowing continuous value, continuous learning, and empowering people.
