Agile Development
Agile is a term that describes approaches to software development that emphasize incremental delivery, team collaboration, continual planning, and continual learning. The term Agile was coined in 2001 in the Agile Manifesto. The manifesto set out to establish principles to guide a better approach to software development. At its core, the manifesto declares four value statements that represent the foundation of the Agile movement. As written, the manifesto states:
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.
The manifesto doesn't imply that the items on the right side of these statements aren't important or needed. Rather, items on the left are simply more valued.
