The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Samurai, and How That Helps Rubyists
summary
History of Agile starts at Snowbird where 17 people in six hours draft the manifesto and 12 principles; Crystal appears as a claim that success comes from the Crystal 3-step model — practices, principles, personalization — and seven measurable properties: frequent delivery, reflective improvement, close communication, personal safety, focus, access to expert users, and a technical environment (version control, automated tests, continuous integration). Concrete numbers and examples: a 50‑person 1994 industrial project, claims that methodology accounts for ~15% of outcome, and unit tests plus CI are essential to make frequent delivery work.
