Jinn?
According to critics, an eavesdropper, constantly striving to go behind the curtains of heaven in order to steal divine secrets. May grant wishes.

Agile software development processes conference
XP Agile Universe conference, 15-18 August 2004, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada:
Extreme Programming (XP) and agile processes have disrupted our view of software development, leading the industry toward lean, adaptable development methodologies. XP and agile processes will change the way software is developed for some time to come. Some examples of agile processes are: Scrum, the Adaptive Software Process, Feature Driven Development, the Crystal series, Agile Modeling, Win-Win Spiral and, of course, XP.This is how I view the roots of this movement: accept the facts, requirements change, people work better in small structures, priorities evolve, goal-achievement requires constantly focused action.
