Ok, so a work related post here – these are the 12 principles of Agile software methodology that I learned in training today.

We have followed this loosely in the past but are now committed to a more formal adherence.

So here we go:

#1.
Satisfying the customer is the end goal

#2.
Welcome changing requirements

#3.
Deliver software frequently

#4.
Work together daily (communicate!)

#5.
Build projects around motivated people

#6.
Face-to-face communication is preferred

#7.
Progress is measured by working (functional) software

#8.
The pace of development is sustainable

#9.
Technical excellence and good design enhances agility

#10.
Maximize simplicity (minimum viable)

#11.
The best software comes from self organizing teams

#12.
Team’s frequently adjust behavior towards improvement
