What is Agile?
Is it XP, SCRUM, or some other process? If you are using all of the SCRUM mechanisms, are you Agile?
Agile is a philosophy, NOT a set of practices. This is not to say that those that use SCRUM mechanisms are not Agile. It is only to say that implementation of mechanisms does not make you Agile. And most certainly, failure to implement certain mechanisms does not mean you are not Agile.
I've heard on several occassions statements such as "Oh, you don't do pair programming? Then you're not doing Agile." Pair programming could be replaced with standing meetings, weekly iterations, monthly iterations, test driven development, or any other mechanism.
I intend to discuss more about Agile in this Blog. What do I think it is and what have I learned about it.
