Here at Axiom Knight we are committed to the ideals expressed in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development and the 12 Principles behind it.
We are experts at lean software development and most of our projects implement Agile as the project management methodology. The Agile development method has a proven reputation as an excellent way of ensuring that software stays fresh, up-to-date, and able to adapt to the changing needs of the business. It does this by focusing on teamwork, testing, and collaboration during the development process, rather than merely focusing attention on creating the product and testing it afterwards.
We have adopted the 12 Agile Principles which include:
- Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
- Welcome changing requirements, even in late development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.
- Deliver working software frequently (weeks rather than months).
- Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
- Build projects around motivated individuals, and trust them to get the job done.
- Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication.
- Working software is the primary measure of progress.
- Agile processes promote sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace.
- Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
- 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 Agile method is:
