- 5. Agile Manifesto ‣ Individuals and interactions over processes and tools ‣ Working software over comprehensive documentation ‣ Customer collaboration over contract negotiation ‣ Responding to change over following a plan 5 We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Examples of using language 41 To determine the corresponding Value System We have to be sure about what to do, before we can give a reliable estimate It’s important we all agree on this solution. Scrum says that we have to do … Let’s improve x … so we become the most successful team. Eric, what’s your opinion about this? I really want to know. 1 2 3 4 5
