Working on agile teams has provided some of the most enjoyable moments in my career. Imagine the
camaraderie of a team that works together to identify and deliver products of lasting value, with each
team member enthusiastically contributing to a smooth-running whole. Imagine how it feels to take
responsibility for your area of expertise, whether technical, business, or management, with the rest of
the team trusting your professional judgment and ability. Imagine how pleasant it is to address the
frustrations of your project and to see quality improve over time.
Agile development changes the game. Developing and delivering software in a new way will take a lot
of work and thought. Yet if you do it consistently and rigorously, you??™ll experience amazing things:
you??™ll ship truly valuable software on a regular basis. You??™ll demonstrate progress on a weekly basis.
You??™ll have the most fun you??™ve ever had in software development.
Ready? Let??™s go.
