Lean focuses on the idea of work being ‘pulled’ by consumer request. Small teams are given almost complete autonomy over their work. Management is only required to ensure that developers have access to pools of assets required to complete their tasks, thus minimizing inter-departmental work dependencies. Lean agile also heavily favours the use of automation, not only in the sense of software but in the ability for individuals and teams. Think of Lean agile as a ‘sandbox.’ Workers are given tools and resources and are otherwise left to their own devices. Extreme Programming (XP) XP has become one of the most popular agile methodologies used in the IT industry. Unlike many other agile methods that focus on autonomy and self-organizing teams, XP is a strictly disciplined approach that incorporates agile values and principles through rigorous and thorough project governance.
XP encourages rapid feedback, constant testing, continuous planning, customer involvement and teamwork to help deliver working software.
Creator of XP, Don Wells has depicted the XP process visually to help understand the XP framework. In conjunction with consumers, development teams estimate, plan and deliver functions defined by user stories on an iterative basis.To support productivity XP asks for little documentation and focuses rather on customer feedback to improve products.CrystalThe Crystal agile method is one of the most lightweight, flexible agile approach designed specifically for small teams without the limitless time and financial backing required to help implement enterprise change.Crystal is composed of different ‘levels’ of governance including Crystal Clear, Yellow, Organza and so on. The unique features of these methods are determined by team size, project complexity and system criticality.The Crystal method recognizes that each project requires tailored policies, practices and processes to meet the demands of unique project contexts.Key principles of Crystal include teamwork, transparency, communication and simplicity. It promotes prompt delivery of services or products, user involvement, adaptability and the removal of managerial influence/micro-management.Lightweight agile methodsThere are also many other ‘lightweight’ agile methods such as Kanban or Leankit. These methods don’t require expensive staff training or enterprise change and can even be integrated into non-agile work environments. They function more as collaborative tools to help development teams chart and track their workflow.
