Chapter 4: A Core Subset of Agile Practices

Overview

We begin this chapter with a minimal subset of agile practices that should be applied to any software project. This core subset should enable you to hit the ground running when tailoring agile practices for your own project.

Following that, we look at the agile principles that underpin the practices. We follow this with a description (and refactoring) of the Agile Manifesto, from which we derived the main goals of agility. And finally, to put it all in perspective, we continue our “fact or fiction” analysis of what software agility really means.

So if you’re in a hurry and want just the executive summary, the first part of this chapter should suffice. If you later want to come back and read the justification for the individual practices, the remainder of this chapter provides the detail.
