  Agile Manifesto • http://www.agilemanifesto.org/ •Values: – Individuals and interactions over processes and tools – Working software over comprehensive documentation – Customer collaboration over contract negotiation – Responding to change over following a plan

  Principles behind theAgile Manifesto • 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.

  Principles behind theAgile Manifesto • 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.

  Principles behind theAgile Manifesto • 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.

  What is Agility? •Agility may be characterized by the two concepts: communication and responsibility. • Agility is the ability to both create and respond to change in order to profit in a turbulent business environment. • Turbulent environments are suitable for agile developments. • Problems characterized by change, speed, and turbulence are best solved by agility.

  What is Agility? •Effective (rapid and adaptive) response to change • Effective communication among all stakeholders • Drawing the customer onto the team • Organizing a team so that it is in control of the work performed

  An Agile Process •Is driven by customer descriptions of what is required (scenarios) • Recognizes that plans are short-lived • Develops software iteratively with a heavy emphasis on construction activities • Delivers multiple ‘software increments’ • Adapts as changes occur
