Carnival of Agilists - 9/21/06

Welcome to the September 21 edition of the Carnival of Agilists - the blogroll pointing you to some of the latest thoughts in the agile community. We start out this edition with a look back, a look from the founders of Scrum, and some very radical thoughts and approaches from many in our field.

Agile 5 Years Later... As we come upon our 5th year anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, some surveys are reflecting on our progress.

Scrum Founders Speak Out

Ken Schwaber provides an overview of Scrum in his Google Talk - Scrum Et Al.
Jeff Sutherland provides the history of Scrum in his talk The Roots of Scrum.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

So just how do you find those "agile" individuals? Ester Derby was Just thinkin' about what an agile resume might look like. Time to update yours?
What makes agile "Agile"? The Definition of Agile has been a recent scrumdevelopment Yahoo! thread. Diana Larsen presents her Fundamentally Agile opinion as well. All the while, David Anderson is wondering whether we are Losing Sight of the Goal.

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Thought that automated testing was only for technical geeks? Dharmesh Shah has a word for the Business Geeks: Automated Software Testing as Competitive Advantage.

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

How do you flush out the real needs of customer? How do we capture these needs? Is the product backlog enough? Robby Russell introduces us to Dialogue-Driven Development (d3) as another alternative. More on d3...

Responding to change over following a plan

Agile is about responding to change, but how does one go about that? Doug DeCarlo suggests its about Developing an Agile Attitude.

Agile Fun

Tired of your co-workers who are just a bit too perky? Lisa Haneberg thinks maybe its time to Create Your Own Demotivator.
