"Agility Compact" offers an alternative perspective on the focal points in software and system development. Agility emphasizes values that prioritize collaboration among people, direct communication, result orientation, and rapid feedback. While processes and tools are important, they take a backseat. The book encourages you to look up from the daily grind of software development and evaluate your own practices in light of agile principles. Discover how these changed values impact all project participants—from clients and customers to project managers, analysts, designers, and programmers. New in the 2nd edition: the current state of agile methods and guidance for achieving an appropriate balance between agility and discipline for your projects.
