Crystal Methods | Glossary

Definition:

Crystal method is an agile software development approach that focuses primarily on people and their interactions when working on a project rather than on processes and tools. Alistair believed that the people’s skills and talents as well as the way they communicate has the biggest impact on the outcome of the project.

Crystal Method is based on two fundamental assumptions:

  • Teams can streamline their processes as their work and become a more optimised team
  • Projects are unique and dynamic and require specific methods
