THE AGILE MANIFESTO…
Formalised by a group of soEware development experts in 2001… “We are uncovering be/er ways of developing so7ware by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interac?ons over processes and tools Working soCware over comprehensive documenta?on Customer collabora?on over contract nego?a?on
Responding to change over following a plan. That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the le7 more”

AGILE PRINCIPLES Our highest priority is to saEsfy the customer through early and con8nuous delivery of valuable soEware.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's compe88ve advantage.
Deliver working soWware frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter Emescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around moEvated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effecEve method of conveying informa8on to and within a development team is face-‐to-‐face conversaEon.
Working soWware is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
ConEnuous a]enEon to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity-‐-‐the art of maximizing the amount of work not done-‐-‐is essenEal.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-‐organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effec8ve, then tunes and adjusts its behaviour accordingly.
