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.
