Exercise 1: Basic Pair Programming

Agility is dynamic, context-specific, agressively change embracing, and growth-oriented. It is not about improving efficiency, cutting costs, or battening down the business hatches to ride out fearsome competitive "storms." It is about succeeding and about winning: about succeeding in emerging competitive arenas, and about winning profits, market share, and customers in the very center of the competitive storms many companies now fear.
Goldman, Nagel, Preiss, "Agile Competitors and Virtual Organizations"

"... In fact, according to Highsmith, more obscure "home-grown" agile methods are burgeoning worldwide, sometimes in the face of company resistance: During his January, 2001 trip to India (a country with more Capability Maturity Model [CMM] Level 4 and 5 companies than any other), Highsmith found that developers often hid their agile adventures from their company's CMM personnel."
