But What About Work? @ArdLiath Adam Griffiths www.dotdotdev.com
The Agile Manifesto We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: @ArdLiath Adam Griffiths www.dotdotdev.com Individuals and interactions over processes and 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. © 2001-2019 Agile Manifesto Authors This declaration may be freely copied in any form, but only in its entirety through this notice.

Martin Steve Mellor Dave Thomas James Grenning Jim Highsmith Andrew Hunt Ron Jeffries Jon Kern Brian Marick Ken Schwaber Jeff Sutherland
