IT processes: Agile development & approach

  • 1990s, software development
  • Relies on ability to respond to (unpredictable) events
  • Originated from software development 
  • Focused on
    • (Informal) interactions between people (rather than process)
    • Working software (rather than extensive documentation)
    • Customer collaboration (rather than contract negotiation)
    • Responsiveness to change (incorporate new and changed requirements even at late stages) -> no overarching "master plan"
  • Agile approach = Motivation approach
    • not pre-structured
    • not pre-defined
    • Selection on the go by the team
    • Problem of reducing uncertainty (Master vs. Micro-approach)
