    Agile Basics in 60 Minutes - Tom Henricksen

    Why Are Changes Needed?

    Software development has had some historically monumental failures. In 2011, a financial services giant had a software glitch that cost investors $217 million, which resulted in a $25 million fine from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The typical waterfall process has produced lots of these scary disasters that make headlines like this. The traditional process of gathering requirements, designing, coding the solution, integrating the pieces, and testing at the end has many drawbacks, including:

    ● Its simple, linear and structured approach;

    ● A great amount of time spent in the requirements and design phases to reduce cost for coding and testing;

    ● Being more disciplined in its procedure, which translates into less flexibility in the entire development process.

    Additionally, the requirements are not totally understood. Before I worked on Agile projects, I would cringe when I heard, I think we want to change this. Or, We already talked about that. Many times the users don’t know what they want until they see the first output (page layout or even simple calculation functionality) of your software. Even with mock-ups or wireframes, we have a hard time zeroing in on what the customer may want.

    Agile Manifesto

    In 2001 a group of software development leaders got together and created a declaration of their views on software development that specifically outlined the changes they wanted to lead. This is called the Agile Manifesto. It states the values they want to advance:

    1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

    2. Working software over comprehensive documentation

    3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

    4. Responding to change over following a plan

    The key is to make the process lightweight and adaptive to change. They want to remove strict processes that we sometimes use to construct software, and collaborate with customers to produce working software. It’s about welcoming
