Design in Agile Methods

One of the most controverse aspects of agile methods is the role of design. In eXtreme Programming the practice is stated explicitly: Simple Design.
Buzz words describing simple design are:

• You ain't gonna need it (the YAGNI principle).
• Keep it simple, stupid (the KISS principle).
• Design for Today.
• No Big Design Upfront (BDUF).

Two articles (available online) about the topic give further insights:

• Martin Fowler: Is Design Dead?
• Jim Shore: Continuous Design.
