Principles behind the Manifesto for Agility Agile Manifesto
Business Enterprises (Business & Technology and Management & Teams) We follow these principles:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the business customer customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable results software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in
the process development. Agile processes harness change for
the business enterprise’s customer’s competitive advantage.
Deliver results working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months as organizationally possible and competitively necessary, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and Technology people developers must work
together daily throughout the business enterprise project.
Foster processes Build projects around motivated individuals.
Foster Give them the environment and support their needs they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a business development
enterprise team is human face-to-face conversation.
Results are Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable progress development.
The business enterprise sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and pragmatic decisions good design enhances agility.
Essentialism Simplicity–the art of minimizing maximizing the amount
of work not what must be done–is necessary essential.
The best experiences (solutions: products & services) architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing business enterprises teams.
At regular intervals, the business enterprise team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
