A great way to begin your Agile journey is to set up your workflow using a KANBAN system.

We simply have 3 swimlanes:

1. Our TO-DO's or Backlog
2. What we are working on or IN PROGRESS
3. Things that we complete or DONE.

This simple Agile workflow is a great way to start.

In terms of coding, I would recommend using Test-driven development (TDD). We included a lot of great links describing TDD in our article but will re-copy them here:

For more information check out the following resources:

 
• AgileData.org - A great resource for Test-driven development.
 
• JamesShore.com - Another great breakdown for TDD
 
• Net Tuts  - A fun introduction to TDD *I like!
