Agile Manifesto
While you can find plenty of links in the link
section, I took the liberty of placing the Agile manifesto as a
seperate section in order to emphasize its
importance.
Read it carefully 'cause every word counts.
Here it goes...
Our highest priority is to satisfy the
customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable
software.
Welcome changing requirements, even
late in development. Agile processes harness change for the
customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently,
from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must
work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated
individuals. Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method
of conveying information to and within a development team is
face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure
of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable
development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous 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 its
behavior accordingly.
Told you ...:-)
