What is Agile?• Agile Manifesto - 4 values:• We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it
and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools• Working software over comprehensive documentation• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation• Responding to change over following a plan
• That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
What is Agile?• Agile Manifesto - 4 values:• In other words: We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:

Traditional Software Engineering
• Fundamentally flawed!
People-oriented
Value-driven
Client-collaborative
Adaptive and flexible
Common Misconceptions• Agile is simple, so it must be easy!• Lack of process (cowboy coding)• No documentation• It makes software engineering redundant
Agile Project Management• Self-organising teams• Daily progress communication• Continual process improvement• Regular review, planning and estimation• Very accurate and lightweight project estimation and tracking• Face-to-face communication
Agile Technical Processes• Test-driven development• Continuous Integration• Focus on code quality and maintainability• Pair programming and Peer-reviewed production code
Who is doing Agile?
Barriers to adoption• Agile is common sense. When then isn’t it endemic?
Agile isn’t just Software projects
• The core values behind Agile are relevant for other IT projects• Agile PM can be applied to non-software projects and teams• Some companies have looked at how to adopt Agile ideas in
non-IT areas• Some Agile methodologies are very well suited for operational
work
