25th Year of Agile Manifesto
12 Feb 2026
Twenty-five years ago, a small group of software practitioners met at Snowbird to talk about frustrations they were seeing in software development. They did not plan to create a movement. They ended up writing a short set of values that later became known as the Agile Manifesto.

Wouldn't it be great if a more diverse group, or even better, a larger community, could reboot the Manifesto. I think the principles still work, but the manifesto itself needs discussion IMO.
