What is the Manifesto for Agile Software Development?

The Manifesto for Agile Software Development, also known as the Agile Manifesto, is a shared set of

values and principles intended to improve software development1. The Agile Manifesto was created

in 2001 by a group of 17 software practitioners who wanted to find a better way of developing

software than the traditional, documentation-driven, and heavyweight processes. The Agile

Manifesto states four values and twelve principles that guide the agile approach to software

development, which emphasizes individuals and interactions, working software, customer

collaboration, and responding to change2. The Agile Manifesto is not a specific methodology or

practice, but rather a philosophy that can be applied to various agile frameworks, such as Scrum,

Kanban, XP, and SAFe3.
