As many rules as necessary, but as few rules as possible
Agile models have revolutionized project management and product development since 2001. They consist largely of simple rules.

The Agile Manifesto
The Agile Manifesto [1] is the basis of agile working methods.
Software industry experts have agreed on a structure of four values and twelve principles to successfully develop products. Meanwhile, the Agile Manifesto was established in many other industries.
As already mentioned, most agile rules are how-to and prioritizing rules.
This is clearly shown in the four values:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
