Description: The Agile Manifesto is a declaration that establishes the fundamental values and principles of agile software development. It focuses on collaboration, flexibility, and the continuous delivery of value to the customer. Instead of following a rigid and sequential approach, like the waterfall model, the Agile Manifesto promotes adaptability to changes and constant interaction between development teams and customers. The four core values of the manifesto are: prioritizing individuals and interactions over processes and tools, valuing working software over comprehensive documentation, collaborating with customers over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan. These principles foster a work environment where teams can innovate and continuously improve, resulting in more efficient software development aligned with end-user needs. The Agile Manifesto has influenced various development methodologies, such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), and Kanban, and has transformed how organizations approach software creation, emphasizing the importance of quality and customer satisfaction.
