Agile Refactoring

Just realised one positive side-effect of Agile Development: you can develop stuff safe in the knowledge that at some point in the future (possibly, near-future), you can, will and want to refactor.

That’s completely different to refactoring in other types of development, which requires much greater expenditure of effort and has considerable inertia associated with it.

Furthermore, refactoring during Agile Development actually exposes opportunities for introducing new features that meet or exceed users’ expectations.
