Four values. Still radical.

Written in 2001 by seventeen software practitioners. It takes a minute to read and is still widely misread.

Individuals and interactions

Value 01

over processes and tools

READ TODAY

A five-minute call beats a ten-comment ticket.

Working software

Value 02

over comprehensive documentation

READ TODAY

Show it running. Document what matters.

Customer collaboration

Value 03

over contract negotiation

READ TODAY

Customers in reviews, not just in contracts.

Responding to change

Value 04

over following a plan

READ TODAY

Plan, then re-plan when you learn.
