Agile is a philosophy encompassing multiple frameworks (e.g., Crystal, Extreme Programming, Kanban, Lean, Scrum, Scrumban) that share a common set of values and principles. These frameworks are differentiated by their practical applications and approach to implementation. Agile promotes a cooperative and collaborative effort between core teams, leaders, and user communities to provide continuous delivery of products, software, or services, its structure embraces changing business needs, and measures progress and success through the production of well-designed and working products. At the same time, closely managed product backlogs and technical debt decisions ensure the ultimate business goals and objectives are met. Agile teams strive to maintain a consistent and sustainable pace while frequently reflecting on how to become more efficient and effective. Experienced Agile organizations typically have notable success in delivering value to the customer, although it is important for new adopters to walk-before-running. A company should be open to continuous team interaction, increased stakeholder involvement, simplifying process and documentation, evolving requirements, and embracing business change, or else the initiative will likely fail. Implementing Agile practices not only impacts the development teams, but it also requires a new mindset and approach to governance, management, infrastructure, and operations. Organizational and team structure, project types, complexity, risk landscape/tolerance, and stakeholder location/availability are all factors to consider when choosing an Agile framework.
