Geekville -- A Social Architecture for Agility

by Jim Highsmith

The fundamental value of agile software development and project management (ASDPM) addresses building a great workplace. In fact, ASDPM encompasses the belief that building a great workplace precedes building a great product. Furthermore, this workplace has certain characteristics -- its own social architecture: it is self-organized rather than hierarchical, it is egalitarian rather than dictatorial, it is self-disciplined rather than authoritarian, it is collaborative rather than solitary, it is fun rather than drudgery. The leaders and practitioners of the agile movement are passionate about building workplaces for creators.
