This approach enables economies of speed, reduces uncertainty and drives innovation. If however you just aim to follow the newest trends and inventions of the agile industry we offer 10 fool-proof and entertaining strategies to follow that totally screw up your software development. We strive to reveal agile overhead and reduce agile practices to the essentials in order to bring the art of agile software development back into focus.
