In part one of this article, we looked at the first four theories and techniques of agile web development a client satisfaction, adapt to changing requirements, deliver frequently, and frequently work together. It is believed that, with the manifesto that outlines these theories and techniques, the development process can be vastly improved for future generations. The below list comprises the middle four theories and techniques of agile development, with the final four being outlined in part three:

• Build with Motivated Individuals
  Companies that are committed to agile web development need to provide their employees with an engaging working environment and the support that they really need. Not only does this ensure that companies retain their employees, it can actually help them to develop at faster rates and larger scales.

• Face-to-Face Communication
  This is, by far, the most effective way of sharing information between clients and other members of the development team. How many people enjoy getting to work in the morning only to discover hundreds of emails in their inbox? Face-to-face conversations are much smoother and actually allow much more information to be passed on.

• Measure Progress with Software
  People who work in web development are not like those who work in other areas of your company, so they shouldn't be treated as such. This means that you should not dictate their work processes or methods and should let them do their own thing. Developers are much more likely to create good websites if they can work how they want.

• Maintain a Constant Pace
  One of the best advantages of agile web development is the ability to determine (pretty much spot on) the amount of time it will take for a project to be completed. Whilst other people believe that scheduling is the best way to do this, this method does not allow for the mistakes or delays that maintaining a constant pace does.

Whilst some of these processes and theories may be a little difficult to get your head around in the beginning, after a few months or even weeks you will find yourself conforming more and more to the agile lifestyle. In part three, the final instalment of this article, we will take a closer look at the final four theories and techniques of agile web development. In order to greatly improve and even speed up the development process, you should adopt as many of these theories and techniques as you can.
