Agile History
The Agile Manifesto - Values
Working software over comprehensive documentationResponding to change over following a
planCustomer collaboration over contract
negotiation
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
www.agilemanifesto.org
Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development.Deliver Working software frequently.Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project. Build projects around motivated individuals. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation. Working software is the primary measure of progress.Agile processes promote sustainable development.Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential.The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
