Four Values of the Agile
Manifesto

MOST INFORMATION PROVIDED ARE OWNED BY PROJECT MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE

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

PMBOK.
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.
