The Library of Agile focuses on 6 primary areas of collaboration:

1. People – People collaboration practices deal with psychology, social interactions, and interpersonal relationships — basically any time thinking individuals interact with other thinking individuals. 

2. Design – Design collaboration practices incubate the creative and artistic processes used when inventing something new or expanding on existing inventions.

3. Planning – Planning collaboration practices sort through the complex moving parts of a project and seek to organize them in a way that improves efficiency and effectiveness.

4. Implementation – Implementation collaboration practices center around the process of architecting and constructing solutions. You may be used to seeing terms like “coding” or “engineering” used here, but Agile applies to more than software, so we use the more generic terms at the Library of Agile. Implementation could be the delivery of services, conversations or speeches, or the writing of documents.

5. Verification – Verification collaboration practices ensure the completeness, integrity, security, and longevity of our solutions. Now, you may be used to terms like “testing” or “quality assurance”, but Agile applies to more than software or physical products, so we use the more generic terms at the Library of Agile.

6. Operation – Operation collaboration practices maintain the frameworks that surround solutions. They help “keep the lights on” and maintain a consistent delivery of value to those who use our products.
