Pragmatic Agile: It's a Delivery Thing!

Agile Software Development

With all the hoohaa about values, principles, people and interactions, courage, and embracing change many people in the Agile world seem to forget that software development is about delivering successful projects and products in a business context.

Pragmatic Agile

Pragmatic Agile is about doing what works rather than what a particular method, guru or article says to do.  I have used my Pragmatic Agile approach to successfully deliver software development projects:

• in a fixed price context and with time and materials
• in Financial Services and in Media
• with large teams and small
• in large organisations and small
• in project rescue mode or with the luxury of starting the project myself

Agile Project Management

I have also seen others fail despite using an Agile approach. Agile techniques do not guarantee delivery but Agile Project Management - project management using Agile techniques - can.

It's a Delivery thing

This website and the Articles on it are about explaining what to do to achieve successful project delivery using Agile Project Management.  The material is structured along the lines of traditional project management to facilitate discussions with traditionalists and the business.
