The Agile methodology is a project management approach that involves breaking the project into phases and emphasizes continuous collaboration and improvement. Teams follow a cycle of planning, executing, and evaluating. Let’s start the Agile Cheat Sheet.

Agile Principles
| Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software |
| Welcome changing requirements, even late in development |
| Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) |
| Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers |
| Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted |
| Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location) |
| Working software is the principal measure of progress |
| Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace |
| Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design |
| Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential |
| Self-organizing teams |
| Regular adaptation to changing circumstance |
The Agile Manifesto is based on 12 principles
