While contemplating the merits of agile development it occurred to me that it is really all about less.

• Less code because only enough code is written to satisfy a Story requirement.
• Less defects while writing code through TDD.
• Less time spent fixing defects because considerable effort goes into early detection of bugs (Continuous Integration).
  
• Less regression bugs because code is protected by good unit tests with adequate code coverage.
