“Agile processes promote

sustainable development.

The sponsors, developers,

and users should be able

to maintain a constant

pace indefinitely.”

“The most efficient and

effective method of

conveying information to

and within a development

team is face-to-face

conversation.”

“Working software is the

primary measure of progress.”

“At regular intervals, the team reflects

on how to become more effective, then

tunes and adjusts its behavior

accordingly.”
