The four values of the Agile Manifesto

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
• Working software over comprehensive documentation.
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
• Responding to change over following a plan.

The following 12 Principles are based on the Agile Manifesto.

1-Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.

2-Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.

3-Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.

4-Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.

5-Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.

6-The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.

7-Working software is the primary measure of progress.

8-Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.

9-Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.

10-Simplicity–the art of maximizing the amount of work not done–is essential.

11-The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.

12-At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
