Using the Agile Manifesto to Deliver Change – Part 14
Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation
The Agile Value of working software bypasses these hurdles completely. Instead of stepping through layers of red tape, all the roles of the Development process work together. The Stakeholder raises a request to the Product Owner. Then, the Product Owner prioritises the backlog and communicates the prioritised backlog to the development team. The Product Owner and development team have the authority to make decisions. This accelerates the pace of development, and gets new products and features out the door more quickly. In turn, this improves the satisfaction of stakeholders, as they see a steady flow of value being delivered within each product increment.
Customer Collaboration Over Contract Negotiation
Prioritizing customer collaboration instead of contract negotiation improves the entire process and creates a much more adaptable development environment. Negotiating a contract is an intense, stressful process for all parties involved. Customers are seeking to maximize the value of the finished product, while minimizing costs and time before they receive the software. Representatives of the product company are looking to address all points of uncertainty. Plus, they must minimize the risk that a company faces between creating a piece of software and receiving payment. The Product Owner, the development team, and the Stakeholders will all learn more about what the finished product will look like as the process goes own. However, a contract forces them to make a judgment call at the very beginning when uncertainty is high.
