Principles behind the Agile manifesto . . . LIBRARY EDITION!
I’ve been wanting to workshop the Agile manifesto for some time now, but it would be funny to do that solo! Alas, I couldn’t resist having a go at the principles behind the manifesto one evening, since they were on my wall staring at me, mocking me . . .
Things got pretty ugly (as shown above), but here is a cleaned up version of my brainstorm:
Principles behind the Agile manifesto: for libraries
We follow these principles:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of resources and services.
We adapt to change, for the betterment of our patrons, teams, and the communities we serve.
Deliver resources and experiences frequently, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Communicate early and often with community stakeholders regarding new and ongoing projects.
Give our teams the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a team is face-to-face conversation.
Collect metrics to measure progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development and a pace that can be maintained indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity, the art of maximizing the work not done, is essential.
The best innovations emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
