As part of a recent Agile training, we were asked to summarize the basic tenets of Agile<\/a>\u00a0in 3-4 words. Our\u00a0group,\u00a0\u00a0with\u00a0Mahesh, Yuti, Apeksha, Shahdab, Dhwani, Jay, came up with the following:<\/p>\n

\n

1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer\u00a0through early and continuous delivery\u00a0of valuable software.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Deliver value to satisfy<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in\u00a0development. Agile processes harness change for\u00a0the customer’s competitive advantage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Accept changes willingly<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Deliver working software frequently, from a\u00a0couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a\u00a0preference to the shorter timescale.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Prioritize, Breakdown, Deliver frequently<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Business people and developers must work\u00a0together daily throughout the project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Close collaboration, daily<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Build projects around motivated individuals.\u00a0Give them the environment and support they need,\u00a0and trust them to get the job done.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Trust & cultivate talent<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. The most efficient and effective method of\u00a0conveying information to and within a development\u00a0team is face-to-face conversation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Face-to-face works best<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Delivery is\u00a0<\/strong>Boolean<\/b><\/p>\n

8. Agile processes promote sustainable development.\u00a0The sponsors, developers, and users should be able\u00a0to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maintain delivery velocity<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Continuous attention to technical excellence\u00a0and good design enhances agility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Focus, Design, Excel<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount\u00a0of work not done–is essential.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do less, do better<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs\u00a0emerge from self-organizing teams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pick over assign<\/strong><\/p>\n

12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how\u00a0to become more \u00a0effective, then tunes and adjusts\u00a0its behavior accordingly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reflect, Tune,\u00a0<\/strong>Improvise<\/b><\/p>\n

Many thanks to the team for contributing their valuable thoughts on this.<\/p>\n

I also found this wonderful graphic which sums it up really well.<\/p>\n
