13. 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 and
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.”*
