Agile Principles #9: Commit to mastery.

Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

Working software is the primary measure of progress.

The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.

Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.

Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.

Those who try harder get more done.
