Agile Methodology

Agile Manifesto

English descriptions

German descriptions (as most team members are german, these may be useful)

Suggested Practices to Adopt

Scrum roles (Product Owner, Team, Scrum master)
Colocation
Team that includes definition, code-writing and testing together
Time Boxing
Continuous testing
Short, fixed-time iterations
Daily (or more frequent) integration + builds
"Scope" is variable <=> "time", "cost" and "quality" are fix.
Regular reflection

Scrum "Smells": Hints that something goes wrong

Loss of Rhythm - Sprints are not always the same length.
Talking Chickens - Non team members talk at daily scrums.
Missing Pigs - Not all (fully assigned) team members attend the daily scrum.
Persistent Signatures - Progress charts in later iterations look as fluctuative as in the first iterations.
ScrumMaster Assigns Work - In planning, the scrum master assigns work, instead of the developers signing up.
The Daily Scrum is For the ScrumMaster - Daily scrums feel like reporting sessions to the scrum master.
Specialized Job Roles - A project team has highly specialized job roles ("architect", "tester" etc.)
