Welcome changing requirements, even late indevelopment. Agile processes harness change forthe customer's competitive advantage. Deliver working software frequently, from acouple of weeks to a couple of months, with apreference to the shorter timescale. Business people and developers must worktogether daily throughout the project. Build projects around motivated individuals.Give them the environment and support they need,and trust them to get the job done. The most efficient and effective method ofconveying information to and within a developmentteam is face-to-face conversation. Working software is the primary measure of progress. Agile processes promote sustainable development.The sponsors, developers, and users should be ableto maintain a constant pace indefinitely. Continuous attention to technical excellenceand good design enhances agility. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amountof work not done--is essential. The best architectures, requirements, and designsemerge from self-organizing teams. At regular intervals, the team reflects on howto become more effective, then tunes and adjustsits behavior accordingly.
