Figure 2-3. The Relationship Between the Agile Manifesto Values, Principles, and Common Practices

As shown in Figure 2-3, the model, inspired by Ahmed Sidky, articulates agile as a mindset defined by the Agile 

Manifesto values, guided by the Agile Manifesto principles, and enabled by various practices. It is worth noting that 

while the term “agile” became popularized after the Manifesto, the approaches and techniques being used by project 

teams today existed before the Agile Manifesto by many years and, in some cases, decades.

Agile is a mindset defined by values, guided by principles, and manifested through 

many different practices. Agile practitioners select practices based on their needs.
