Agile Manifesto
Representatives from Extreme Programming, SCRUM, DSDM, Adaptive Software Development, Crystal, Feature-Driven Development, Pragmatic Programming, and others sympathetic to the need for an alternative to documentation driven, heavyweight software development processes convened in Feb 2001 and defined the Agile Software Development Manifesto

Agile Manifesto
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.

Principles behind Agile Manifesto

Agile Principles (agilemanifesto.org/principles.html)

Agile Principles (agilemanifesto.org/principles.html)

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software

Working software is the primary measure of progress Agile processes promote sustainable development. Sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. Continuous attention to tech. excellence and good design enhances agility Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams

Welcome changing requirements, even late in 2 development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of 3 weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale Business people and developers must work together 4 daily during the project Build projects around motivated individuals. Give 5 them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. The most efficient and effective method of conveying 6 information to and within a development team is faceto-face conversation

9 1 11

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to 12 become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly

Warm Up?

Clarity

What is Vision?

Elevating goal

Two critical aspects of a vision are clarity and an elevating goal that make a difference and conveys a sense of urgency to the project.

Envision Phase
The Envision phase defines the beginning of a project for which the kickoff event might be the approval of a feasibility study.

Envisioning should involve the development and product team members in this process, normally using a series of collaborative meetings.

Simplilearn Solutions

28

PMI - Agile Certified Practitioner(PMI-ACP)

Envision Phase
Envision phase clearly identifies what is to be done and how the work is to be accomplished.
What is the customer's product vision? What are the key capabilities required in the product? What are the project's business objectives?

What are the project's quality objectives?

What are the project constraints (scope, schedule, cost)? Who are the right participants to include in the project community?

How will the team deliver the product (approach)?
