12 Agile Principles — #2 of 12

Welcome Changing Requirements

“Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.”

The next principle emphasizes creating an environment where change is expected and welcomed rather than rigidly controlled and limited; but, of course, that doesn’t mean that the project is totally uncontrolled. There are lots of ways to manage change effectively and collaboratively based on a partnership with the customer. The important thing is that the project team and the customer should have a mutual understanding upfront of how change will be managed.
