Page 2: The Agile Business Manifesto

We are living in a time of exponential change. A time of rapidly shifting contexts for every

organisation. We believe that it is time for a new type of business, defined by a new set of

principles.

Over fifteen years ago the Agile Manifesto gave us a blueprint for a better way of developing

software in the digital world. Inspired by those twelve conventions, we’ve developed a set of

principles that define a new operating system for the truly agile organisation. This is about doing

better business in the complex adaptive environment that we all recognise today.

It’s time to reinvent how business works.

This is the Agile Business Manifesto
