Whole Team Approach | Glossary

 

Definition

The whole-team approach in Agile, means involving everyone with different knowledge and skill sets to ensure the success of the project. The teams should relatively be small, and should share the same workplace and be sat as a group. This is a measure that strongly improves communication and interaction. There should be daily meetings that involve all members of team where work progress is communicated and goals are discussed. Overall, this improves the team dynamic significantly.

Values | Glossary

 

Definition

The Agile Manifesto inscribes a set of four values that are both people-centric and results-driven. Namely:

  • Individuals and Interactions
  • Working Software
  • Responding to change
  • Customer collaboration

Each Agile methodology has its’ own way of implementing these values, but they are consistently relied upon, to deliver high-quality software.
