Crystal Family Of Methodologies

A set of lightweight agile approaches for software development that tailor practices to the specific context, such as team size and system criticality.

Key Points

  • Family of methods (e.g., Crystal Clear, Crystal Orange) chosen based on team size and criticality.
  • Lightweight and adaptable; the team customizes just enough process for the situation.
  • People-centric, favoring close communication, collaboration, and face-to-face interaction.
  • Emphasizes frequent delivery, reflection, and continuous improvement.

Example

A small, co-located team building a low-risk internal tool selects Crystal Clear. They run 1-week iterations, hold short daily check-ins, keep documentation minimal but sufficient, demo working software every week to stakeholders, and adjust their practices after each retrospective.
