Abstract

In this chapter, we deepen the examination of the concept of change, highlighting the fact that the agile approach supports changes of different kinds. This characteristic is important since changes are an inherent element of any project and therefore should not be neglected. In order to explain how the agile approach copes with the said change, we use Plotkin‘sPlotkin H framework, borrowed from evolutionary theories, which describes how the universe copes with changes over its evolution. This exploration delivers the message that the agile approach realizes that changes are an inherent part of any process and therefore adopts several ways that support change embracement and introduction instead of blocking them. Further, in this chapter, we illustrate our Agile Guidelines by the book Who Moved My Cheese? (Johnson 1998), which deals with different approaches to change processes.
