QUESTION: IS NASA AGILE OR WATERFALL?
INTRODUCING AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
WHY AGILE?
THE MANIFESTO FOR AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
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.

EARLY ADOPTERS
THE END OF THE BEGINNING?
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is,
perhaps, the end of the beginning. – Winston Churchill, 1942
August 26, 2009 - David Norton declares Agile to be Mainstream
http://bit.ly/mainstreamagile
Mainstream refers to a current of thought that is presently widespread. It
includes all popular culture and media culture, typically disseminated by mass
media. It is to be distinguished from subcultures and countercultures, and at
the opposite extreme are cult followings and fringe theories. - Wikipedia
WHAT ELSE WAS MAINSTREAM?
QUESTION: WILL AGILE LAST?
AGILE IS ABOUT:
People First
Transparency
Setting attainable goals
Shortening the Feedback Loop
Keep these in mind as you hear today’s speakers
PEOPLE ARE NOT ASSETS, RESOURCES, OR CAPITAL
SUPPORT EACH OTHER FULLY
BE TRANSPARENT
BE HONEST
BE CLEAR
24
SET SMART GOALS
UTILIZE RAPID FEEDBACK, FAST FAILURE, CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT
AGILE BLOCKERS
FEAR OF CHANGE
28
IT’S NOT ALWAYS WELCOME
PEOPLE WILL GET MAD
AT THE END OF THE DAY…
YOU NEED TO “BE” AGILE, NOT “DO” AGILE
