On the hunt
I really wanted to find a good Agile Manifesto poster, and failed miserably. I can’t readily print a web page and display it, it’s too ugly. Nor do I care to register (or provide my email details) to download a poster, that’s not a great way to engage visitors. I also encountered overcomplicated low resolution images – no use.
I wasn’t alone
It looks like I was not alone in my dissatisfaction. Rich Daley blogged about his similar experiences, and I found the same monstrosity he did. Rich was thoughtful enough to provide his own version, which I have used in conversations.
Time to hand-crank
I created some Agile Manifesto posters that keep it simple stupid, and deliver what I need. I didn’t need the 12 principles for a start.
They are both in A4 landscape. I quickly realized I’m terrible at info-graphics and graphic design!
Let me know if you like them, used them, or have found better ones!
Thanks for mentioning my poster, and I’m glad it gets some use! Personally I find the twelve principles very useful alongside the four values, but I do like your simplified view too.
Hey Rich, I just noticed you’re from Leeds. I’m in York! Small world.
These are great, Giles. I’m going to print them and hang them up. One small point, though. Isn’t the one on the left slightly incorrect? Shouldn’t the last item should be “Following a plan” instead of “Contract negotiation”?
Thanks,
Peter
You are spot on, thanks for letting me know. I’ll change it ASAP! Glad you liked them.
I’ve not updated the thumbnail, but I’ve updated the PDF. Thanks again for letting me know, much appreciated.
You’re quite welcome. Thanks for fixing it so quickly. Printed. Will put it up in the office tomorrow.
