野外生存21:The Big List of Agile Practices

The Big List of Agile Practices

This post is probably going to be hated and loved at the same time. Because, when people talk about agile practices, they can sometimes become very religious. Which means I may be putting my head in a noose with this one.

But who cares. It's worth it. I like living dangerously.

You see, at different occasions I had wanted the availability of  a big list of agile practices.But I never found any. All common agile practices are spread out overdifferent methods, and many different sites. That's why I decided tocreate my own list.

Disclaimer: the list below is definitely incomplete, and probably controversial!

I constructed the list below from practices found on eight different web sites. I ignored some well-known agile concepts like "keep it simple" and "remove waste" because I consider those to be principles, not practices.I also ignored some practices when I had the feeling that they wereonly listed on one site, and nobody else was using them. While on theother hand, I listed some practices here that some people do not considerto be truly agile. But I included them nonetheless, when I noticed thatthey are regularly being used in an agile context.

If you disagree with the list, or if you think some practices are missing, please let me know!

Yousee, I am considering to use this list for a poll on agile practicesand how they are being applied. And I hope you're willing to help me ingetting this list in order before conducting such a poll.

Thanks already!
