AgileMethodologies

The 12 principles of the Agile Alliance define the common ground:

• 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

• 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

• 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
