Agile Manifesto:

Recently I read an article titled:

Considerations for Using Agile in DoD Acquisition

The article is an overview of Agile and how it may work within the Department of Defense and how it could be incorporated into a PMO setting.  Within the article there is a small part that mentions that the Air Force has tried Agile methodologies for a couple of small projects and they have come up with their own Agile Manifesto (here is part of it):

THE FIST MANIFESTO (Fast, Inexpensive, Simple, Tiny) 

System development projects should be done by the smallest possible team of talented people, using a short schedule, a small budget and mature technologies to deliver innovative solutions to urgent needs. 

This approach is called FIST: Fast, In-expensive, Simple, Tiny. 

Short timelines increase agility and stabilize requirements, technology, budgets and people. Short timelines also force accountability, ownership and learning. To maintain short timelines, a project must also exercise restraint over budgets, complexity and size. Increases to the project’s budget, complexity or size inevitably reduce its speed.

Accordingly, the FIST approach advocates the following: 

• Minimize team size, maximize team talent.
• Use schedules and budgets to constrain the design.
• Insist on simplicity in organizations, processes and technologies.
• Incentivize and reward under-runs.
• Requirements must be achievable within short time horizons.
• Designs must only include mature technologies.
• Documents and meetings must be short. Have as many as necessary, as few as possible.
• Delivering useful capabilities is the only measure of success.
