The 12 Agile Principles – Part 3
While complying with the First Principle is the first big step in achieving customer satisfaction, there is another important aspect to factor in – the customer must be involved in and committed to the project. One of the four Values calls for “Customer collaboration“.
The Customer is King, but also Partner
Customer collaboration can be very tricky to achieve, because it is an initiative that has to be driven outside the IT business unit’s sphere of influence, and to succeed requires the buy-in of C-suite executives.
In many organisations this requires a good deal of change management; many of the customers for the software expect that their requirements will be documented and signed off and that IT will go off and do whatever they do, eventually returning with a product for user acceptance. This is how it used to work, with very mixed results. Agile development calls for a joint development team of the business and IT. The Fourth Principle states that
“Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.”
