This paper provides a brief overview of AM’s values, principles, and practices; defined what agile models are; and summarizes the scope of AM.

AM is not a prescriptive process, in other words it does not define detailed procedures for how to create a given type of model, instead it provides advice for how to be effective as a modeler.
