Manifesto for Half-A**ed Agile Software Development
We have heard about new ways of developing software bypaying
consultants and reading Gartner reports. Throughthis we have been
told to value:
Individuals and interactionsover processes and tools and we have
mandatory processes and tools to control how those individuals (we
prefer the term resources) interact
Working softwareover comprehensive documentation as long as that
software is comprehensively documented
Customer collaborationover contract negotiation within the
boundaries of strict contracts, of course, and subject to rigorous
change control
Responding to changeover following a plan provided a detailed
plan is in place to respond to the change, and it is followed
precisely
That is, while the items on the left sound nice in theory, were
an enterprise company, and theres no way were letting go of the
items on the right.

Dont disregard 80% of the benefits of Agile because you are not
100% agile after 3 months. Remember, Agile transformations are
never truly Done so you might as well keep going!
The individuals involved will thank you And surely it is about
them, after all?
