Using the Agile Manifesto to Deliver Change – Part 1
Using the Agile Manifesto to Deliver Value
In February 2001, seventeen IT professionals got together to draft the Agile Manifesto. The set of four values and twelve principles expressed in the manifesto are the drivers of all Agile practices. Sometimes we forget this when we are in the middle of a difficult project, and sometimes we misinterpret or gloss over a principle. As part of the continuous improvement cycle, principle 12 should be invoked:-
“At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly”.
The ideal forum for this is a retrospective. In addition to the normal questions asked during the sprint retrospective, it would be beneficial to revisit the Manifesto and discuss whether the project is aligned with its ideals, value by value and principle by principle. Where there is a deviation, it is likely that there will be a weakness in the project. For instance, if “customer collaboration” (value 3) was neglected, there could be a problem with user acceptance of a feature. The following section is a brief review of the Agile Manifesto Values and Agile Principles and how they contribute to adding value to a project.
