Abstract

It consists of a set of principles that define best practices for taking an idea and creating a product. These principles cover creating the right level of plans at the right time, ensuring quality is part of every step in the process, and admitting that change is a part of everything we do, so plan for change. Originally, Agile practices were specifically designed for software development, but they have since been scaled to all areas of a company.
