敏捷开发的一些规则

2001年，17位业界专家（其中包括我们非常熟悉的Martin, Martin Fowler）组成了一个敏捷联盟，并且创建了一份敏捷联盟宣言，宣扬了4条核心价值观：

1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools（人和交互重于过程和工具）
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation（可以工作的软件重于易于理解的文档）
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation（客户合作重于合同谈判）
4. Responding to change over following a plan（响应变化重于遵照计划）

此外，还有公开了12条敏捷软件开发的规则：

1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. 
   尽早地、持续地交付有价值的软件来满足客户的需求
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
   欢迎需求的变化，即使是项目后期的变更。敏捷过程能够驾驭变化，为客户带来竞争优势
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale. 
   经常交付可以工作的软件，时间间隔越短越好
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. 
   整个项目开发期间，业务人员与开发人员应该工作在一起
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done. 
   围绕斗志高昂的人构建项目，给他们提供所需的环境，满足他们的需要，并信任他们
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. 
   最有效的信息传达方式和与团队相处的方法是面对面交流
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress. 
   可以工作的软件是进度主要的度量标准
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. 
   敏捷过程提倡可持续开发。投资方、开发者和用户应该总是保持一致的步伐
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. 
   不断追求卓越技术和良好设计有助于加强敏捷性
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential. 
    简单--尽量减少工作量是非常重要的
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams. 
    最好的架构、需求和设计都出自于自我组织的团队
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly. 
    每隔一段时间，团队都要反思如何更有效率，并相应地调整自己的行为
