Agile
The Agile Manifesto is a foundational declaration establishing core values for software development, created in 2001 by 17 industry pioneers including Kent Beck, Mike Beedle, Martin Fowler, Ken Schwaber, and Jeff Sutherland. It prioritizes four key principles: individuals and interactions over processes and tools, working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan. The manifesto connects to the Twelve Principles of Agile Software and has been translated into 70+ languages, reflecting its global adoption.
