Agile Software Development

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 behind the Agile Manifesto

We follow these principles:

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.

Welcome changing requirements, even late in 
development. Agile processes harness change for 
the customer's competitive advantage.

Deliver working software frequently, from a 
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a 
preference to the shorter timescale.

Business people and developers must work 
together daily throughout the project.

Build projects around motivated individuals. 
Give them the environment and support they need, 
and trust them to get the job done.

The most efficient and effective method of 
conveying information to and within a development 
team is face-to-face conversation.

Working software is the primary measure of progress.

Agile processes promote sustainable development. 
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able 
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

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 tunes and adjusts 
its behavior accordingly.

敏捷軟件開發宣言

我們一直在實踐中探尋更好的軟件開發方法，

身體力行的同時也幫助他人。由此我們建立了如下價值觀：

個體和互動 高於 流程和工具

工作的軟件 高於 詳盡的文檔

客戶合作 高於 合同談判

響應變化 高於 遵循計劃

也就是說，儘管右項有其價值，

我們更重視左項的價值。

敏捷宣言遵循的原則

我們遵循以下原則：

我們最重要的目標，是通過持續不斷地
及早交付有價值的軟件使客戶滿意。

欣然面對需求變化，即使在開發後期也一樣。
爲了客戶的競爭優勢，敏捷過程掌控變化。

經常地交付可工作的軟件，
相隔幾星期或一兩個月，傾向於採取較短的週期。

業務人員和開發人員必須相互合作，
項目中的每一天都不例外。

激發個體的鬥志，以他們爲核心搭建項目。
提供所需的環境和支援，輔以信任，從而達成目標。

不論團隊內外，傳遞信息效果最好效率也最高的方式是
面對面的交談。

可工作的軟件是進度的首要度量標準。

敏捷過程倡導可持續開發。
責任人、開發人員和用戶要能夠共同維持其步調穩定延續。

堅持不懈地追求技術卓越和良好設計，敏捷能力由此增強。

以簡潔爲本，它是極力減少不必要工作量的藝術。

最好的架構、需求和設計出自自組織團隊。

團隊定期地反思如何能提高成效，
並依此調整自身的舉止表現。
