What Is Agility?


Agility = the power of moving quickly and easily


Why do we need to move fast?


What options do we have?


Is that fast enough?


So, before we run, we need to learn to walk?


Run = Release Daily, Multiple Times


Walk = Release Every Iteration


Agile != DevOps?


Are you ready for the secret formula to achieve Agility?


1. Start by being agile (not just doing Agile)


Individuals and Interactions over processes and toolsWorking Software over comprehensive documentationCustomer Collaboration over contract negotiationResponding to Change over following a plan


- Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable software

- Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) and it is the principal measure of progress

- Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - is essential

- Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly


2. Embrace DevOps principles & practices


> Iterative> Incremental

> Continuous> Automated

> Self-service> Collaborative

> Self-service configuration> Automated provisioning> Continuous build> Continuous integration> Continuous delivery> Automated release management> Incremental testing
