• CLean Process Improvement
• DThe Scrum Framework

• B
  88% (23)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

Agile Development was formally introduced in The Agile Manifesto (2001), a document signed by 17 software practitioners that defined the four core values and twelve principles of Agile - making B correct.

• A is wrong: "Project Management Principles" is not a recognized document that coined Agile; it's a fabricated distractor.
• C is wrong: Lean Process Improvement is a separate methodology rooted in manufacturing (Toyota Production System) that predates and influenced Agile but did not introduce the term.
• D is wrong: Scrum is a specific Agile framework that existed before the Manifesto; it implements Agile principles but did not define the term.

Memory tip: Think "Manifesto = Mission Statement" - just as a manifesto declares a movement's founding beliefs, the Agile Manifesto is the founding declaration that named and defined Agile Development.
