Benefits of Using Agile Management

• Simplicity and transparency
• Higher customer satisfaction
• Greater staff morale and retention
• Improved quality deliverables
• Improved business value
• Quicker Return on Investment (ROI)
• Increased productivity and decreased development costs
• Ability to rapidly change direction
• Better Risk Management through Client involvement

• The 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 for the shorter timescale
• Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project
• Give individuals 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
• Working software is the primary measure of progress
• 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 maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential
• The best architectures, requirements and designs emerge from self organizing teams
• At regular intervals, the team should reflect on how to become more effective, and then tune and adjust its behavior accordingly

• Each and every requirement is documented as one item in the “Product Backlog.”
• The Product Backlog includes both user requirements and technical or implementation requirements
• Any person can add an item to the Product Backlog at any time
• The customer has sole responsibility for prioritizing the Product Backlog items.
• For each iteration of development (each Sprint), the team chooses items from the Product Backlog to constitute the “Sprint Backlog” (using the items’ priorities as one consideration in their choices).
• The Sprint Backlog is not allowed to change during a Sprint.
• At the end of each Sprint, the customer determines which Product Backlog items have been satisfied, and those items are removed from the Product Backlog
