27. Agile Manifesto

29. Agile Manifesto principles
1.Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software.
2.Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes
harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3.Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of
months, with a preference for the shorter timescale.
4.Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the
project.

30. Agile Manifesto principles
5.Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and
support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6.The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and
within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
7.Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8.Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors,
developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

31. Agile Manifesto principles
9.Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances
agility.
10.Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is
essential.
11.The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from
self-organizing teams.
12.At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective,
then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

65. ProcessWhirl - Our story
ProcessWhirl was started in 2011 in India by team of people with background in
engineering, marketing, software and statistics who all shared a deep passion of for
quality.
Kishore the founder felt the need to educate organizations and people around importance of
quality, while working with a PVC pipe manufacturer as a trainee during his masters in
Quality and Reliability, where an uncalibrated instruments were used to assess the quality of
the PVC pipes used for supplying drinking water. A meeting with CEO, not only resulted in the
calibration of instruments, training to staff but a personal note of thanks from CEO for
educating him and his team.
ProcessWhirl is the result of that intention.
Our purpose is to educate and empower people and organisations for excellence.
Currently we serve customers in India, UK, USA
