Agile is not about rushing things; but if Agile is applied things gets
delivered faster with higher quality. Why?
• Short Sprints (iterations) - 2 to 4 weeks
• Full Customer Involvement to adjust course
• Frequent Releases & Check-Points
• Multi tracks
• Focusing on delivering software (not process)
Agile does not mean chaos:
• Agile has “change control“ after each sprint (but less formal)
• Agile has meaningful short documents; prototypes clarify requirements and design; project-
room eliminates hefty documents and long meetings; the team focuses on delivering quality
software and not documents

resources and get it done
