Manifesto for Agile Software Development


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
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.

Martin, Steve Mellor, Ken Schwaber, Jeff Sutherland, Dave Thomas

My own comments
The way I see it, even though the manifesto has to ring a bell and warm the heart of anyone who has ever been salaried as a software development worker, it should not be viewed as any other thing than a convenient and highly efficient instantiation of Object Oriented Process.

The other thing I have to say about it is that it is not, as has been said many times, an informal process or an example of Cowboy Programming; it is clearly a formal, rigorous and highly demanding professional process.
