This document discusses the Agile development methodology. It begins by comparing the traditional "waterfall" development approach to building a house to the Agile approach of growing a tree. It then discusses some of the key challenges of adopting Agile, such as replacing manual testing with automated testing, empowering self-organizing cross-functional teams, and accepting and adapting to changes. The document provides an overview of the Agile way as making impact fast through cross-functional teams with high delegation and frequent feedback to quickly deliver to customers using facts and data. It concludes by offering tips for getting started with Agile such as forming cross-functional volunteer teams, choosing an appropriately sized initial project, and allowing time for learning.
