AGILE significa COLABORAR 
Product Owner = Dueño exclusivo de la pila de producto 
Product Backlog = Pila de producto = lista de requisitos actualizada
AGILE significa DEMOSTRAR
AGILE significa AUTO-ORGANIZACIÓN 
SCRUM = 
Equipo Comprometido = 
“Empujar juntos la pelota unas yardas”

The Agile Manifesto (2001) 
The Manifesto’s shared value statement: 
“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 & interactions 
Over 
Processes & 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.” www.agilemanifesto.org

Agile Methodologies 
(Release planning, Sprint and iteration planning, daily Scrum, sprint demo and retrospective, etc.) 
(TDD, automated testing, continuous integration, refactoring, etc.) 
Strict queue limits, pull value through, make it visible.
