Agile Manifesto

The Agile Manifesto, created in 2001, establishes four core values: individuals over processes, working software over documentation, customer collaboration over contracts, and responding to change over plans. Twelve supporting principles emphasise customer satisfaction through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, frequent collaboration, motivated teams, face-to-face communication, working software measures, sustainable development, technical excellence, and self-organising teams.
