Agile approach
Principles
-
Customer satisfaction by early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
-
Welcome changing requirements, even in late development.
-
Deliver working software frequently (weeks rather than months)
-
Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
-
Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted
-
Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location)
-
Working software is the primary measure of progress
-
Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace
-
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design
-
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential
-
Best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams
-
Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly
The business case is (re)calculated for different scenarios (like scope extensions) and net cash flow, NPV/IRR and benefits, implementation and running costs are calculated for these different scenarios.
