Agile has origins in software development
The Agile Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:""Individuals and interactions over processes & tools"
Working software over comprehensive documentation!
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation!
Responding to change over following a plan!!That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Source: http://agilemanifesto.org
