Agile Manifesto, Sumpah Suci Para Praktisi Software

Pada bulan Februari 2001, sekelompok praktisi pengembang perangkat lunak (software) berlibur dan mengadakan pertemuan di Snowbird, sebuah lokasi liburan musim dingin di Utah, Amerika Serikat. Dalam kesempatan ini mereka menghasilkan sebuah Manifesto, yang dikenal dengan Agile Manifesto.

Manifesto ini dihasilkan melalui diskusi yang melibatkan 17 praktisi pengembangan perangkat lunak terkemuka yang mencari cara untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pengembangan perangkat lunak. Manifesto ini kemudian diterbitkan secara online dan menjadi dasar untuk pendekatan Agile dalam pengembangan perangkat lunak.

Dibuat pada tanggal 11 Februari 2001, dengan terdiri dari 4 nilai dan 12 prinsip, inilah naskah Agile Manifesto dalam bahasa aslinya, agar dapat dipahami tanpa pergeseran makna.

Manifesto for Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.


12 Principles behind the Agile Manifesto:

We follow these principles:

  1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
  2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
  3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
  4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
  5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
  6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
  7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
  8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
  9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
  10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
  11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
  12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

As an Agile practitioner, I embrace the Agile Manifesto and the 12 principles behind it. These values and principles guide us to deliver high-quality software that meets the needs of our customers while providing a collaborative and adaptive work environment for our teams.
