Iterative or agile life cycles are composed of several iterations or incremental steps towards the completion of a project. Irrespective of the complexity of a project, Agile practices are more open to ever-changing requirements in today\u2019s dynamic business landscape and encourage constant feedback from the end users than standard waterfall project management methods. Its essence lies in its core values and principles articulated in the Agile Manifesto, a seminal document that has guided countless teams to achieve efficiency and excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:700\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Core_Values_of_Agile\"><\/span>The Core Values of Agile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At its heart, Agile project management is built upon four foundational values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Individuals and interactions over processes and tools<\/strong>: Agile prioritizes human communication and collaboration, even over the most sophisticated tools and processes.
