Core Values Of Agile Manifesto

  • Article

 Alik Levin    I am reading  Agile Portfolio Management by Jochen Krebs as an effort to build/strengthen my project management skills specifically focusing on Agile methodologies. Krebs provides good introduction to relevant agile methodologies like XP, Scrum, and others. He also covers briefly the history of the method including the coverage of Agile Manifesto and its core values.

Core Values

  • Individuals and interactions take precedence over process and tools
  • Working software takes precedence over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration takes precedence over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change takes precedence over following a plan.

Krebs also writes:

"Please note that the left side of each statement is valued more than the right side. What is important and often misunderstood is that the manifesto does not recommend neglecting the values of the right side - for example, project documentation. It simply means that the values on the left are valued more highly."
