The 12 Principles of Agile Themed

Collaboration & Delivery Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early & continuous delivery of valuable software Deliver working software frequently, with a preference to shorter timescales Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project

Standards & Excellence Welcome changing requirements, even late. Agile processes harness change for customer’s advantage Continuous attention to technical excellence & good design enhances agility Best architectures, requirements and designs emerge from self-organising teams

Individuals & Communication Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment & support they need, trust them to get the job done The most efficient & effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face to face communication Working software is the primary measure of progress Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers & users should be able to maintain a constant pace, indefinitely

Simple & Productive Simplicity - The art of maximising the amount of work not done - is essential

Reflect & Adapt At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes & adjusts its behaviour accordingly

Learnings & Reflections Can remote working subscribe to the 12 principles? Are the challenges worth it? Can adoption of remote working or offshore engagements be phased? Would you adopt it? What’s your experience been?
