Foundations of Agile
Mario E. Moreira · Apress eBooks · 2013
During one of my agile seminars, I ask people “What is Agile?” I bring up a list that includes, “Agile is a methodology,” “Agile is a process,” “Agile is a set of practices,” and “Agile is a set of tools.” I see a lot of heads nodding in the affirmative, believing that some or all of these are what Agile is. Then I cross them all out and bring up a single line that says, “Agile is a set of values and principles.” Some have an aha! moment. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
