Agile

aid: agile
name: Agile
description: A collection of resources, standards, and APIs representing the broader agile landscape — the set of software
  development principles first codified in the 2001 Agile Manifesto. Agile values individuals and interactions over processes
  and tools, working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding
  to change over following a plan. This topic index covers the full ecosystem of agile frameworks, methodologies, tools, and
  APIs including Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, XP, and Lean.
