The Agile Manifesto is a set of principles developed by Agile practitioners, originally in 2001. The basic framework for the principles is expressed on their website as:
“We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
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 left more.”
Whilst the Agile Manifesto is primarily aimed at improving the process of software development, it also has many applications in agile project management. You can read more at http://agilemanifesto.org.
