08 - Les processus Agiles encouragent un rythme de développement soutenable. Ensemble, les commanditaires, les développeurs et les utilisateurs devraient être capables de maintenir indéfiniment un rythme constant.

01 - Les gens et leurs interactions plus que les processus et les outils.

02 - Un logiciel qui fonctionne plus qu'une documentation exhaustive.

03 - La collaboration avec les clients plutôt que la négociation contractuelle

04 - L'adaptation au changement plutôt que le suivi d'un plan

01 - Notre plus haute priorité est de satisfaire le client en livrant rapidement et régulièrement des fonctionnalités à grande valeur ajoutée.

02 - Accueillez positivement les changements de besoins, même tard dans le projet. Les processus Agiles exploitent le changement pour donner un avantage compétitif au client.

03 - Livrez fréquemment un logiciel opérationnel avec des cycles de quelques semaines à quelques mois et une préférence pour les plus courts.

04 - Les utilisateurs ou leurs représentants et les développeurs doivent travailler ensemble quotidiennement tout au long du projet.

05 - Réalisez les projets avec des personnes motivées. Fournissez-leur l’environnement et le soutien dont ils ont besoin et faites-leur confiance pour atteindre les objectifs fixés.

06 - La méthode la plus simple et la plus efficace pour transmettre de l’information à l'équipe de développement et à l’intérieur de celle-ci est le dialogue en face à face.

07 - Un logiciel opérationnel est la principale mesure d’avancement.

09 - Une attention continue à l'excellence technique et à une bonne conception renforce l’Agilité.

10 - La simplicité – c’est-à-dire l’art de minimiser la quantité de travail inutile – est essentielle.

11 - Les meilleures architectures, spécifications et conceptions émergent d'équipes autoorganisées.

12 - À intervalles réguliers, l'équipe réfléchit aux moyens de devenir plus efficace, puis règle et modifie son comportement en conséquence.

A fairly good crow or a raven can lay pretty nearly as good an egg.

When you're writing there's a deep, deep level of concentration way below your normal self. This strange voice, these strange sentences come out of you.

I like wearing beautiful clothes, but that does not translate into my work. People don't like to see me as a glam doll in my movies. My audience and the media love me with two different perceptions. It's a strange, crazy situation.

No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.

Switzerland felt incredibly narrow, growing up. It was good, in a way. There were so many museums. But it was always a no-brainer that I would have to leave, and I'm grateful for that.
