Agile is a term commonly used that originated from the "Agile Manifesto," which set out to create principles that would better guide software development. It's used to describe various approaches. Agile greatly emphasizes team collaboration, incremental delivery, continual planning and learning. This term values individuals and interaction over tools and processes, working software over contract negotiations, responding to change over following a plan and customer collaboration over contract negotiation. Agile is a mindset that represents an array of practices and methods that align with the value statements of the Agile Manifesto. Its methods or frameworks offer comprehensive approaches to the planning, the delivery and the execution of software development. Scrum, Lean, Kanban and Extreme Programming are some of the popular agile frameworks used. There are also numerous agile practices that can be applied during the software development lifecycle, such as Continuous integration (CI), Test-Driven Development, Pair Programming, Refactoring and Domain-Driven Design (DDD).
