30 Days to Better Agile

An agile approach instead asks: “This is how much time I have—how much high-value functionality can I get in that time?”

Being agile does not mean changing direction every five minutes. Nor does it mean proceeding blindly forward without a plan. Agile teams do have the ability to respond to changes in business requirements in order to provide more value, but they do so in a structured way.

Why reinvent the wheel when getting started? If you can learn from what others have done before, you can avoid some pain. Getting help from an experienced agile coach is key here—someone who can see patterns and behaviors well before a novice can.
