Operative Principle Characteristics
Change is inevitable, so plan for it by doing Cycle typically takes 2 weeks to 2 months
the most valuable work first and adjusting the Business value delivered iteratively &
plan. incrementally
Advantages Disadvantages
Business value realized early and often Early adopters often encounter resistance
Change is an accepted part of the process Some practices seem to contradict common
Acceptance testing occurs during each cycle sense
Bugs identified much earlier in process Some practices have a learning curve
Whole team engaged throughout process Best with very experienced team members
Decision to release to public is in business’ Requires active “customer” participation in
hands process
