I always had a blurry picture of what Agile actually means, and why we practice it.

Well, not anymore.

If you and your teammates don’t care about the following and you still think you are an “Agile” team, I have news for you: You are not! and if anyone tells you otherwise, watch out, because he is full of BS (: kidding! what I mean is that these are important:

Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, Pair Programming, Continues Integration & Delivery, Clean Code…

These are just the technical practices of Agile. If you wanna know why these practices are key, you can read the book. This book is a history and review of Agile principles, disciplines, and its business, team, and technical practices.

It’s also a fresh perspective (revised edition) 20 years after Agile Manifesto was born and how was the adaptation in the industry so far.

I developed a more clear understanding of Agile as a way to make successful software development achievable in small teams.

Great read. I love Robert Martin’s insights. He is truly a legend in the field.

It’s for anyone who is a part of a software development team: Managers, QAs, Business Analysts, developers, POs, Scrum Masters
