Agile Principles

The twelve guiding rules for agile project delivery, as set out in the Agile Manifesto.

Key Points

  • Deliver value early and often, welcoming changes even late in development.
  • Collaborate closely with customers and cross-functional teams to clarify needs.
  • Measure progress by working product increments and maintain a sustainable pace.
  • Continuously improve through reflection, simplicity, and technical excellence.

Example

A product team runs two-week iterations, ships a small working feature each sprint, invites stakeholders to review, accepts a new high-value request mid-release, and uses a retrospective to adjust their Definition of Done for better quality.

PMP Example Question

  3. Delay integration testing until all features are complete.
  4. Centralize decisions with the project manager to speed approvals.

Correct Answer: B — Release working increments frequently and reprioritize with the customer

Explanation: Agile Principles emphasize frequent delivery of working product and close customer collaboration to respond to change.
