Colin Weaver The Eleven Essential Behaviours of Successful Agile Project Teams

The Agile Manifesto Individuals and interactions Working software Customer collaboration Responding to change "That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more." over processes and tools. over comprehensive documentation. over contract negotiation. over following a plan.

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. Principles Behind The Agile Manifesto

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 maximising the amount of work not done -- is essential. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organising teams. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly. Principles Behind The Agile Manifesto
