Section 1: Agile Overview

What is agile?

Agile history

Agile Manifesto Values

Agile Manifesto Principles

Agile software development - is a group of

software development methodologies based on

iterative and incremental development, where

requirements and solutions evolve through

collaboration between self-organizing, cross-

functional teams. Wikipedia®

Agile Project - is a temporary endeavor

undertaken to create a unique product, service or

result, using agile values, principles and

techniques derived from the Agile Manifesto.

Definition

1950’s - Incremental software development

methods are starting to be used.

1974 - E.A. Edmonds writes a paper on adaptive

software development.

1990’s - Heavyweight Vs. Lightweight development

methods.

2001 - The Agile Manifesto was published.

Agile History

The Agile Manifesto - Values

Working

software over comprehensive documentation

Responding to

change over following a plan

Customer

collaboration

over contract negotiation

Individuals and

interactions

over processes and tools

www.agilemanifesto.org

Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable

software.

Welcome changing requirements, even late in development.

Deliver Working software frequently.

Business people and developers must work together daily throughout

the project.

Build projects around motivated individuals.

The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to

and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

The Agile Manifesto – 12 Principles

www.agilemanifesto.org

Working software is the primary measure of progress.

Agile processes promote sustainable development.

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.
