The Agile Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Agile Practices
Scrum
Scrum is an agile method for project management. The approach was first described by Takeuchi and Nonaka in "The New Product Development Game" (Harvard Business Review, Jan-Feb 1986). They noted that projects using small, cross-functional teams historically produce the best results, and likened these high-performing teams to the scrum formation in Rugby. In 1991, DeGrace and Stahl, in "Wicked Problems, Righteous Solutions" referred to this approach as Scrum. Ken Schwaber used an approach that led to Scrum at his company, Advanced Development Methods, in the early 1990's. At the same time, Jeff Sutherland, John Scumniotales, and Jeff McKenna developed a similar approach at Easel Corporation and were the first to call it Scrum. Jeff Sutherland and Ken jointly presented a paper describing Scrum at OOPSLA'96 in Austin, its first public appearance. Ken and Jeff collaborated during the following years to merge the above writings, their experiences, and industry best practices into what is now known as Scrum. Although Scrum has a theoretical basis in empirical process control, its practices have all been empirically derived from extensive Scrum practice. Its intended use is for management of software development projects, and it has been successfully used to "wrap" Extreme Programming and other development methodologies.

Retrospectives
Holding a retrospective ritual is a very old idea. It has served the human species well, as the stories of hunts are retold around c ampfires and the stories of child rearing are shared as baskets are woven. It has survived this long because it works. It’s a fundamental vehicle to discover, share, and pass along the learning from experience—something we also call “wisdom.”
