Agile Principle: Our highest priority is to satisfy the stakeholder through early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions.
Agile Principle: Welcome changing requirements, although only allow changes in the beginning of the solution delivery lifecycle
Agile Principle: Deliver working solutions frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference for the shorter time scale
Which one of the following Agile _principles_ is NOT correct?
Stakeholders and developers must work together daily throughout the project
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Focus on solution delivery rather than comprehensive documentation
The most efficient method of conveying information to and within a delivery team is face-to-face conversation.
working software instead of Quantified business value
Agile processes promote sustainable delivery.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Quantified business value is the primary measure of progress.
Simplicity – the art of maximizing the amount of work not done – is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
Focus on the assets within your delivery team, and collaborate with the people response for those assets
Leverage and evolve the assets within your organizational ecosystem, and collaborate with the people responsible for those assets to do so.
Visualize workflow to help achieve a smooth flow of delivery while keeping work in process to a minimum.
The organizational ecosystem must evolve to reflect and enhance the efforts of agile teams, yet be flexible to still support non-agile or hybrid teams.
Our highest priority is to evolve the organization ecosystem through early and continuous delivery of valuable solutions
