Agile is a term which is used in software development which comprises of different methods and practices accordance to values and principles described in Agile Manifesto.
Background
Agile manifesto was published in 2001 by 17 software developers after finishing-up a meet in snowbird resort, Utah. The meet was to discuss lightweight development methods. The outcome of the meet was called as the Agile ‘Software Development’ Manifesto.
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
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.
