AGILE MANIFESTO

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.

WHAT IS AGILE REALLY?

Transparency

Promoting and enabling collaboration

Striving for continuous improvement

Shortening the feedback loop

HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

Be patient. Doing it right takes time. It’s not a fad diet.

Don’t be overzealous.

Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

Don’t underestimate the politics.

Change your job, or change your job.
