ABSTRACT
The “Manifesto for Agile Software Development” (“Agile Manifesto” or simply “Manifesto” for short) is the base document from where the Agile movement was born in 2001. You can read the Agile Manifesto on the internet at agilemanifesto.org or in the Agile Practice Guide by PMI. The Agile Manifesto was signed by a group of software engineers, coming from several different experiences. The document starts with the definition of its purpose and value:
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individual and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan”
