Agile

"I recently read an article that does a great injustice to the practical implementation of the Agile process in software development. In an attempt to describe the Agile process, the author of this article, apparently the "Head of the Software Development Department", inadvertently described exactly how NOT to do it. This person actually said, "If it was possible to construct a home using the Agile approach, one could go into the kitchen on the second floor of the house under construction and look out the window, even before all the walls were installed on the ground level.

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.
