Agile Software development Ecosystems

February 11 – 13, 2001, can be called the day of The Manifesto for Agile Software Development forthcoming. It declares that from then on people who deal with any software should strive for finding better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.

Through this work we should come to value:

• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working software over comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiations
• Responding to changes over following the plan.

This Manifesto hasn’t been recognized as the answer to all problems, but it has given a push to real software development process improvement and elaboration.
