So how do you define

Agile?

9 Image: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_scRUpc5DoY0/TTcgZnZ2baI/AAAAAAAAHqE/djSqiyB6WY0/s1600/silver-bullets.jpg

Is Agile a

loaded term?

10

Responding to

change

over

following a

plan

Let’s ponder

the Agile

Manifesto

11

And the underlying principles

Build projects around

motivated individuals.

Give them the

environment and

support they need,

and trust them to get

the job done.

Agile processes

promote sustainable

development. The

sponsors, developers,

and users should be

able to maintain a

constant pace

indefinitely.

Our highest priority is

to satisfy the customer

through early and

continuous delivery

of valuable software.
