Manifesto
First a little History and Some High Level Definitions

History: The Agile Manifesto. On February 11-13, 2001, at The Lodge at Snowbird ski resort in the
Wasatch mountains of Utah, seventeen people met to talk, ski, relax, and try to find common ground -
and of course, to eat. What emerged was the Agile 'Software Development' Manifesto.

Agile management, or agile process management, or simply agile refers to an iterative, incremental
method of managing the design and build activities of engineering, information technology and other
business areas that aim to provide new product or service development in a highly flexible and
interactive manner

Agile Software Development is an umbrella term for a set of methods and practices based on the
values and principles expressed in the Agile Manifesto. Solutions evolve through collaboration
between self-organizing, cross-functional teams utilizing the appropriate practices for their context.
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
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.
The Agile Manifesto, also called the Manifesto for Agile Software Development,
is a formal proclamation of four key values and 12 principles to guide an iterative
and people-centric approach to software development.
Principles behind the Agile Manifesto

We follow these principles:

1) Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.

2) Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.

3) Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.

4) Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.

5) Build projects around motivated individuals.

6) Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

7) The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

8) Working software is the primary measure of progress.

9) Agile processes promote sustainable development.

10) The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

11) Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

12) 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 reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
 Good Practice
1. Active user involvement is imperative
2. The team must be empowered to make decisions
3. Requirements evolve but the timescale is fixed
4. Capture requirements at a high level; lightweight & visual
5. Develop small, incremental releases and iterate
6. Focus on frequent delivery of products
7. Complete each feature before moving on to the next
8. Apply the 80/20 rule
9. Testing is integrated throughout the project lifecycle – test early and
often
10. A collaborative & cooperative approach between all stakeholders is
essential

creates more value for customers with fewer resources. A lean organization understands
customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to
provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero

comprised of a family of agile methodologies such as Crystal Clear, Crystal Yellow, Crystal Orange and
others, whose unique characteristics are driven by several factors such as team size, system criticality,
and project priorities. This Crystal family addresses the realization that each project may require a
slightly tailored set of policies, practices, and processes in order to meet the project ‘s unique
characteristics.
Several of the key tenets of Crystal include teamwork, communication, and simplicity, as well as
reflection to frequently adjust and improve the process. Like other agile process methodologies, Crystal
promotes early, frequent delivery of working software, high user involvement, adaptability, and the
removal of bureaucracy or distractions.
Not a methodology! The Agile movement seeks alternatives to
traditional project management. Agile approaches help teams
respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work
cadences and empirical feedback. Agilists propose alternatives to
waterfall, or traditional sequential development.
