| | However, agile methods tend towards common sense solutions to the problems of software development, and can best be described as a craft approach, rather than the overly intricate software engineering and project management methods at the heart of other popular development methodologies. | | | One key difference between the agile methodologies such as XP and the more complex approaches seen in traditional software development is flexibility. | | | The reaction against this has seen a rise in agile development methodologies, also known as lightweight methodologies, that enable complex projects to be delivered in a tight time-frame. |

| | The New Methodology |
| | The result is a Manifesto for Agile Software Development, a statement of the common values and principles of agile processes. | | | The agile community recognizes that the characteristics of software development are such that measurement based management leads to very high levels of measurement dysfunction. | | | More recently Alistair has written an overview book on agile software development that looks at the underlying principles of these kinds of methodologies. |

| | The term agile arose from the problem with categorizing methodologies in a binary fashion as either lightweight or heavyweight. | | | One invariant in any software development project is that there will be change—change in requirements, change in talent and personnel, change in knowledge, change in technology. | | | Out of that, many software processes that were trying to attain some of the same goals and philosophies captured there have started grouping themselves under the banner of agile methods. |

| | Kent Graziano On Agile Methods And Data Warehousing |
| | Agile methods grew up because requirements change, and this we have to adapt during the course of the project. | | | The idea of using agile techniques when building databases is not new, with Martin Taylor and Pramod Sadalage publishing "Agile Database Design" early in 2003 and a whole book, "Agile Database Techniques", written on the subject. | | | With all the talk about Agile development methods and Extreme Programming, the question arises as to how these approaches can be used to deliver data warehouse and business intelligence projects faster. |

| | MF Bliki: agile |
| | One of the common elements of agile methods is that they raise programming to a central role in software development - one much greater than the software engineering community usually does. | | | One of the fundamental problems of thought processes in general - and of software development in particular - is the very varied nature of the settings. | | | If you want to add a feature you always have to ask 'what do I take out to make room?' So if you see features added to an agile project without that thinking, without space being made for them; you can safely conclude that the planning is being done badly. |

| | Agile Development |
| | Each of the methods has a particular slant, which is largely a result of where it is invented, by whom, and for what type of project. | | | The Agile methods use vision statements, although the level at which they are used differs. | | | Agile Development can be good project management in the sense that you can pick Agile processes to cover all project management issues and concerns. |

| | Exploring Agile Methods for Web Design |
| | Agile methodologies afford software professionals a firm, collective ground to stand on, and help separate top level management strategies from the granular reality of day-to-day software development. | | | Agile processes provide a framework where developers can apply implicit knowledge while producing transparent and robust design. | | | This is branching out into blogging about enlightened - Agile - methods of project management. |

| | Agile Methods |
| | Agile approaches have emerged in the last 10 years along with new development, testing, source management, and version control tools which allow for solid development environments which in turn support the ability to generate high quality refactored releases of a system. | | | Traditional software development makes some of the following assumptions, all of which are contrary to what is expected/experienced in agile methods. | | | They use an iterative approach to development and design which is adaptive and emphasizes producing software (code) above all else. |

| | STSC CrossTalk - Learning From Agile Software Development - Part Two - Nov 2002 |
| | Of the differences between development styles, agile developers typically believe that software development is not amenable to statistical process control, and so heuristic project controls must be used. | | | He is one of the original authors of the Agile Software Development Manifesto and founders of the AgileAlliance, and is program director for the Agile Development Conference held in Salt Lake City. | | | An agile team might decide that the project plan fundamentally cannot be resolved past a very simple approximation, and therefore a MFI strategy is a waste of money. |

| | The books on agile methods don’t cover everything one needs to know to develop software. | | | This deficit is an excellent opportunity for the Agile community, with its emphasis on rapid delivery - which requires skilled testing - to assist those who are already committed to strengthening academic testing programs, and influence these programs to foster the testing knowledge and skills most valuable to Agile projects. | | | Many Agile projects involving more than one person deliver on time and on schedule with high quality, yet fail to satisfy the project stakeholders. |

| | Answering the "Where is the Proof That Agile Methods Work" Question |
| | In Chapter 3 of Agile Software Development Ecosystems (Addison Wesley, 2002) Jim Highsmith observes: “Agile approaches excel in volatile environments in which conformance to plans made months in advance is a poor measure of success. | | | There is currently significant anecdotal evidence that agile software development techniques work, you merely need to spend some time on newsgroups and mailing lists to discover this for yourself. | | | Craig Larman, in Chapter 6 of his book Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide (2003) summarizes a vast array of writings pertaining to both iterative and incremental (IandI) development. |

| | Knowing and Doing: April 2005 Archives |
| | After teaching Agile Software Development to university juniors and seniors last semester for the second time, and introducing test-driven design early in CS II this semester, I am coming to a deeper appreciation for how much agile methods require a change in deeply-rooted habits. | | | The notion that practices from agile software development work outside of software should not surprise us too much. | | | Obligation is supplanted by willingness, which opens the programmer to a new level of growth and performance. |

| | IA THINK: Digging Deeper Into Agile Methods |
| | One thing I stated I particularly liked about John Armitage's article in Interactions was how it uses the creation of a painting to illustrate three common approaches to software development: ad-hoc, agile methods, and so-called “heavy” methods. | | | One long-term client I have worked with uses XP, but has adapted their process to include the up-front interface design work that we do for them (which also includes usability testing). | | | For a very good discussion of agile methods and interface design, I highly recommend Larry Constantine's article “Process Agility and Software Usability: Toward Lightweight Usage-Centered Design.” |
