When it comes to agile software development, simplicity is key. To help you stay focused, here are the six principles of simple agile.

1. Collaborate. And what I really mean is - communicate effectively with each other. There’s no place in agile for a lack of clear communication, since the point is to work in a team. Try to keep conversations as close to real-time as possible and hopefully as high bandwidth as possible.

3. Honour priorities. Always, always work from a ranked product blog. Your team should follow the rule, “the next thing you do should be a task in the highest priority story you can work on.” This is crucial because it will lead to delivering the maximum value every iteration.

Click through for the remaining four principles to keep your agile as simple and effective as it can be.

I totally agree. Especially customer inclusion is critical in order to get the software result customers are really demanding. Maybe there's one important thing to add. Users have to be guided when they're applying software. Guidance is e.g. realized by labels/wording, software flows or just less options on the screen. It's crucial to crosscheck this after each iteration and not to bring complexitiy to the user interface:
