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 of Agile Software Development
• Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
• Welcome changing requirements, even late in development.
• Deliver working software frequently.
• Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
• Build projects around motivated individuals.
• The most efficient and effective method of conveying information is face-to-face conversation.
• Working software is the primary measure of progress.
• Agile processes promote sustainable development.
• Continuous attention to technical 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.
• At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then adjusts accordingly.

Au Contrair
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound
truth may very well be another profound truth.
-Niels Bohr
Birds of a father, flock together
Birds of a father, flock together
Opposites attract
Look before you leap
Look before you leap
He who hesitates is lost
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Out of sight, out of mind.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A stitch in time saves nine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
