What is Agile?
The umbrella term “Agile” was introduced with the Manifesto of Agile Software Development (commonly called Agile Manifesto) in 2001, when the various lightweight methods developed in the 1990s were starting to enter the mainstream. Agile in itself is an abstract concept, mainly a philosophy or a collection of thinking models based on the values and principles defined in the Agile Manifesto. Scrum, XP and the other frameworks provide practices and processes that are compatible with the agile values.
Today agile thinking, agile principles and agile frameworks are used in a variety of environments, contexts and industries. Agile approaches focus on learning, transparency, continuous inspection and adaptation rather than relying on defined processes and stable structures. This makes agile approaches well suited for any kind of complex, unpredictable or creative work.
This online agile certification will help you demonstrate proficient comprehension of the Agile thinking and its core elements.
