Agile Manifesto

They came up with four core values to build better software:

"We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

1-Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

2-Working software over comprehensive documentation

3-Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

4-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."

These twelve principles of agile development are what followed:

1-Customer satisfaction through early and continuous software delivery

2-Accommodate changing requirements throughout the development process

3-Frequent delivery of working software

4-Collaboration between the business stakeholders and developers throughout the project

5-Support, trust, and motivate the people involved

6-Enable face-to-face interactions

7-Working software is the primary measure of progress

8-Agile processes to support a consistent development pace

9-Attention to technical detail and design enhances agility

10-Simplicity

11-Skilled and motivated team members who have decision-making power

12-Regular reflections on how to become more effective

Criticism:

A common criticism of this practice is that the time spent attempting to learn and implement the practice is too costly, despite potential benefits. A transition from traditional management to Agile management requires total submission to Agile and a firm commitment from all members of the organization to seeing the process through. Issues like unequal results across the organization, too much change for employees’ ability to handle, or a lack of guarantees at the end of the transformation are just a few examples.
