Agile
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.
Features
The 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto form the philosophical foundation for all agile frameworks and practices.
Agile encompasses multiple frameworks — Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, LeSS, XP, and DSDM — each suited to different team sizes and contexts.
Agile practices emphasize continuous customer and stakeholder engagement through demos, reviews, and feedback loops.
Agile teams embrace change, using iterative planning cycles to adapt priorities and scope based on learning and feedback.
Agile prioritizes delivering working, tested software over creating documentation or following rigid processes.
Use Cases
Apply agile principles to build software products iteratively, incorporating user feedback between delivery cycles.
Scale agile practices across large organizations using frameworks like SAFe to improve delivery speed and quality.
Use agile's emphasis on early delivery and feedback to validate product hypotheses before large investments.
Apply agile practices to API development, delivering versioned API increments with developer feedback incorporated each sprint.
