We usually learn about new software development methods by paying consultants and reading Gartner reports. Thanks to them, we were able to learn what should be important to us:
People and interaction
more important than processes and tools
and we have the necessary processes and tools to control how these same people (we prefer the term “resources”) interact.
Working product
more important than comprehensive documentation
as long as this software product is fully documented.
Cooperation with the customer
more important than agreeing the terms of the contract,
while it is, of course, within the framework of a rigid contract and is subject to strict control over the changes.
')
Ready for change
more important than following the original plan,
when provided with a detailed plan that describes how to respond to changes, and which is exactly followed.
Thus, even though the values ​​on the left are good in theory, we, as a large company, cannot simply abandon our values ​​on the right.
PS: the translation is made as close as possible to the
Russian translation of the original manifesto .
PPS: imply the first line of each statement as “left”, the second “right”.
