What it takes to be Agile

    What it takes to be Agile? This is a very simple question with a lot of possible answers, organized on different core values.

    Well, basically, we can follow the Agile Manifesto values and keep in mind that's not enough. A good definition can be this one: “Using an agile project-management approach, a team builds their deliverables in small increments, releases usable training frequently, and uses those releases to collect feedback early and often. Successive approximation, aka iterative development, is central to agile methodology. It’s how you proactively gather feedback and, yes, changes, so you can further improve your product.”

    It is also almost needed to build Agile on top of Lean, which states further the definition above.
