Agile way of working
We are uncovering better ways of launching, operating startups & small businesses by doing it and helping others do it.
Agile is no longer just a way to develop software, it is a way of thinking and getting work done. Small businesses can benefit from adopting the agile mindset since it was developed for small teams. Agile allows small businesses to deliver continuous and incremental value to customers and also provides the ability to respond to disruption and change in their market or industry.

Agile Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of working by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Doing work 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. |
12 Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto
1) Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable work. 2) Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage. 3) Deliver work 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. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. 6) The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. 7) Working product is the primary measure of progress. 8) Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. 9) Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. 10) Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount of work not done–is essential. 11) The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. 12) At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly. |
