Thoughts on…

From process and tools to person and interaction(communication),

from documentation to working software,

from contract and negotiation to cooperation with customers,

from following the plan to reacting to the changes

There’s always something you have to do / have to abandon the other thing. Ignoring process and tools to save time is not an agile development. You have to interact and communicate instead. It’s simple. 

Some kind of dumb clients and dumber managers don’t understand this simple statement.

And worse, they believe they are right. OMG. 

List of agile methodologies for your information. Ability to what they are is not my point. Understand how to apply some to your team and what is the effect when you apply, or it’s gonna waste your time again!
