The 4 Core Principles of Agile Programming
One of the things I really enjoy at the moment is the recognition and adoption of agile programming as a fully fledged powerful way to deliver quality software projects. As its figurehead is a group of very talented individuals who have created the agile manifesto (http://agilemanifesto.org/). At its core are four simple principles that, when followed and applied to software projects, generally will ensure a great flexibility and hence higher agility.

Actually, every elephant has two left feet, and two right feet as well at that :-).

Be that as it may, if you are in the process of delivering a product that a customer pays big money for, then they have a right to be sure to get what they pay for (and that's why unfortunately the lawyers come in). Budgets are never unlimited. And I've seen an agile project fail after $35 million spent! Agile has its place and its time, but it's not the silver bullet for all development projects. If you can't get all developers into a normal size meeting room, then you better re-think your approach.

thoughtful ideas
btw elephants do have 2 left feet
