The Agile Manifesto (2001)

The Manifesto’s shared value statement: “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 & 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.”
