Abstract
The Agile Manifesto is a philosophical touchpoint for all agile
software development (ASD) methods. We examine the manifesto
and some of its associated agile methods in an effort to identify
the major impacts of ASD. We have encountered some difficulty
in delineating agile and non-agile software processes, which is
partially the result of terminological confusion. It is clear from the
volume of published research that ASD has made a significant
contribution, and we have identified two lasting and important
impacts. Firstly, the reduction in iteration durations and secondly,
the push for reduced levels of documentation (especially in
relation to software requirements). Other aspects of the Agile
Manifesto may not have exerted a significant impact; for example,
the use of tooling to automate processes has become central to
continuous software engineering (CSE) and may not be wholly
congruent with the manifesto. Furthermore, many organisations
may still rely on business contracts despite calls in the manifesto
for greater levels of informal customer collaboration.
