A Study Aid for Agile Exams

Phill Akinwale, OPM3, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, PSM

Welcome to the Agile Bubble!

In this series, we'll be exploring a lot about Agile and over 50 different definitions to help you prepare for your professional exam or learn more about Agile. Agile is about adaptability and the mindset to change. The mindset is encapsulated in the Agile Manifesto values and principles which emphasize individuals and interactions over processes and tools, working products over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan.

Agile is primarily a mindset! Not frameworks and methods.

The Agile Manifesto encapsulates the mindset of adaptability, with its values and principles.

Agile Principles paraphrased

In Agile, it's important to be obsessed with customer satisfaction.

We should welcome change for our customer’s advantage.

We should deliver product frequently to receive feedback and adjust in a timely manner.

We should collaborate daily with stakeholders to maximize our efficiency.

Build projects around a motivated team. Prioritize their well-being

The most efficient form of communication is face-to-face conversation.

Working product is the primary measure of progress, not percent complete.

Agile processes promote sustainable development, allowing stakeholders to maintain a constant pace.

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

Simplicity, or maximizing work not done, is essential.

The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organized teams.
