Kent Beck turned software development on its head when he popularized test driven development. By now we all know that we should be writing our tests as we write our code.
I think it was also Beck who encouraged us to listen before we test before we code before we design.
But it's not just the change in the order of doing things that's important. Another key element is to listen, test, code and design iteratively. Not three-week-rup-iteratively but 10-minute-agile-iteratively.
So if you ever catch yourself tagging "and Design" onto "Analysis", lie back and think of Kent.
