REM in Agile Projects
15.1 Introduction
Agile projects use a variety of software development methodologies for developing
software. All these methodologies adhere to what is known as ''Agile Manifesto''
which states, thus:
''We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping
others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
1. Individuals and interactions—over process and tools
2. Working software—over comprehensive documentation
3. Customer collaboration—over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change—over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the
left.''
There are twelve principles behind Agile Manifesto:
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes
harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of
months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the
project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them an environment and
support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and
within a development team is a face-to-face conversation.
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers
and the users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
