摘要：Software engineering techniques have been employed for many years to create software products. The selections of appropriate software development methodologies for a given project, and tailoring the methodologies to a specific requirement have been a challenge since the establishment of software development as a discipline. In the late 1990’s, the general trend in software development techniques has changed from traditional waterfall approaches to more iterative incremental development approaches with different combination of old concepts, new concepts, and metamorphosed old concepts. Nowadays, the aim of most software companies is to produce software in short time period with minimal costs, and within unstable, changing environments that inspired the birth of Agile. Agile software development practice have caught the attention of software development teams and software engineering researchers worldwide during the last decade but scientific research and published outcomes still remains quite scarce. Every agile approach has its own development cycle that results in technological, managerial and environmental changes in the software companies. This paper explains the values and principles of ten agile practices that are becoming more and more dominant in the software development industry. Agile processes are not always beneficial, they have some limitations as well, and this paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Agile processes
