The customers must be able to provide the time and
energy required to produce a good product. Working, intermediate products are
verified by the customer or verified internally in increments; that is, as pieces or
parts of the entire final product. These intermediate products are delivered as part
of the development cycle in stages, not waiting to be delivered in whole at the end
of the entire development cycle. Each delivery builds more and more functionality
into the product. It should be noted that this incremental development approach
relies on brevity??”brief meetings, brief planning sessions, and brief customer commitment
time periods. It also relies on frequency??”frequent meetings, frequent
planning and replanning, and frequent customer interaction.

When we first read the Agile Manifesto we said, ???That sounds like a well-executed
CMMI project.??? One of the many misconceptions concerning CMMI is that you
must write baskets and baskets of documentation that is only necessary to pass
an appraisal.
