Brad Appleton, Steve Berczuk and Steve Konieczka - May 2003
Summarizing from last month's Agile SCM article, Agility is "the ability to both create and respond to change in order to profit in a turbulent business environment?. What is new about agile methods is not the practices they use, but their recognition of people as the primary drivers of project success, coupled with an intense focus on effectiveness and maneuverability." Achieving agility while avoiding unproductive thrashing of the project requires high quality communication and tight feedback loops between competent team members and with project stakeholders. This allows the project team to iteratively grow the product architecture and functionality despite ever-changing customer requirements and priorities.
