Understanding the Agile Manifesto Principles
The twelve agile principles are the supporting beliefs behind the Agile Manifesto, written in 2001. They describe how teams should satisfy customers through early and continuous delivery of working software, welcome changing requirements, and work together daily. They also stress sustainable pace, technical excellence, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and regular reflection to improve how the team works.
- Customer focus: deliver valuable software early and often
- Change: welcome changing requirements, even late in development
- Delivery: ship working software in short cycles
- Collaboration: business and developers work together daily
- Team practice: motivated people, sustainable pace, face-to-face talk
- Improvement: reflect regularly and adjust behaviour
Use the map to revise for an exam, prepare a team workshop, or check how your project follows the principles. Upload your own agile notes to generate a personalized map with CogniGuide.
