"Agile" isn't a methodology, it's a set of value statements about princples. See:
http://agilemanifesto.org/ http://agilemanifesto.org/
In particular, Agile is a statement that you value:
* Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
* Working software over comprehensive documentation
* Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
* Responding to change over following a plan
I'd be willing to bet that a 2-person team that's moving fast, exceeding expectations and building necessary stuff well is already doing all of the above.
I suggest getting your boss to read that manifesto, then sit down as a team with him / her, and work through the principles. Discuss each one, and identify areas for improvement. If your boss is dead-set on a particular methodology, you might do well to highlight the first point above :)
- mcv 11y agoI agree. Sounds like the team is already Agile. If the boss wants to be agile too, that's great! Management buy-in is very important for Agile to work. They need to understand and accept that the dev team is ultimately in control of the way they work, and the business side needs to provide the things the dev team needs to do their work.
