Agile Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and

helping others do it. Through this 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.
