Agile business.

About technology, business & management issues..





It's been 11 years since Martin Fowler and 17 other programmers released a manifesto called Agile Software Development. The manifesto,  a highly praised ideological tool for people in the field of technology was a simple document which sets out some principles of a methodology to develop software more quickly and objectively.


Since that time the term and concepts have been applied to various aspects of enterprise development, particularly in start ups. Arguably, the lean start-up is a unique version adapted from the principles of ASD but with their particular characteristics.


The ASD emphasizes software development and the creation of a methodology that contrasts with the waterfall model which implies the full development stage of software before its testing phase has started.


If we make the extrapolation of these concepts to the idea of starting a business or a personal project, this is a valuable tool since it allows the flexibility to make changes to the business model necessary to ground the idea in a practical and concise way, without dogmas of faith or prejudices who die hard.


Figures determine the premises, but once put them on paper, developing and implementing action processes should be a dynamic exercise and constantly changing to adjust as needed. This would be like a properly calibrated weighing scale industry or  a simple called action to just tune into your  favorite radio station.


Test, tweak, edit and start over. It should not be so complicated.
