AGILE MANIFESTO
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.

PAIR PROGRAMMING
SPRINT RETROSPECTIVE
HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Be patient. Doing it right takes time. It’s not a fad diet.
Don’t be overzealous.
Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
Don’t underestimate the politics.
Change your job, or change your job.
