Using the Agile Manifesto to Deliver Change – Part 7
Human-to-Human over electronic communication
Regular interactions between customer and developer, developer and developer and any other stakeholders is emphasised. Principles 4, 6 and 12 address the need for communication, and that it should be face-to-face. This is also expressed in the first Value “Individuals and interactions“. Regular and frequent communication will keep the project on track, spot potential glitches and keep everyone informed. Principle 12 also indicates that there is a time and place for meetings in the project, such as the four “ceremonies” of Scrum.
Applying the Manifesto for Project Success
The Values and principles of the Manifesto are completely agnostic with reference to the agile development method your organisation prefers. They apply equally well to Scrum, Rad, Lean, Kanban or any other method. Where a project is not as successful as expected, retrospection will show that one or more of the principles was neglected, especially in the area of customer collaboration and communication. This is why it would be beneficial to do periodic checks to determine whether the principles and values are still being observed, and if not, to take swift and appropriate action.
