The Twelve Principles of Agile Software

The current version of the Agile Manifesto's Twelve Principles of Agile Software is as follows (www.AgileAlliance.org):

• Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
• Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
• Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
• Working software is the primary measure of progress.
• Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
• Close, daily co-operation between business people and developers
