Agile Methods emphasize:
- Iteration: Deliver a simple, functional system right away, and then make improvements over time.
- Increments: Break large projects down into smaller pieces and prioritize them. Solve the most important problems first. Fix the remaining issues over time, in priority order.
- Self-Organizing Teams: Every project team has the autonomy to organize itself, so that team members can complete their work items in the most efficient way.
- Emergence: Let technology requirements materialize during the development cycle, rather than dictate them at the outset of a project. Have the flexibility to adapt as you learn more about the problem you’re solving.
- Creating a Positive Work Environment: When you punish failure, you inhibit creativity and collaboration. Agile recognizes that failure is how you learn and work your way to success.
- Organizational Transparency: Telling the truth matters. Do it, and you’ll build trust among your team members and within your company.
