The principles of Agile can be applied to any team they are not exclusive to software development.
The Agile manifesto with its 12 principles was created back in 2001. Underpinning the concept is creating a learning culture which came out of the Toyota Production System. This was the Lean principle one of the foundations of Agile.
All of the 12 principles can be put into 3 main categories:-
- Clarity & Transparency Delivery – approaches to improve how teams understand their system of work
