Agile Processes

If someone asks me what are the important points one should remember about agile, I would say just five points about agile. These are the core of agile. If one remembers these in every agile decision, then there is little chance that one would not get the due benefits. Ignore the agile myths and focus on key aspects of agile e.g. agility in thinking. That should be the key.
If you are doing performance testing in agile, then one needs to be think of many things differently. It is actually continuous performance testing. Even an agile architect needs to do many things differently. It is important that the architect actually shares ownership of architecture with entire team.
