What is Agility?

I really like the Agile Manifesto:

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.

To me, being Agile is a very natural thing: to develop successful software products. And I define successful software products in a very simple way:
  • A software product can be sold, and continuously sold successfully.
Although this is not applicable to open source software, but I still like it.
