Agile Manifesto Values refer to the four foundational values outlined in the Agile Manifesto, which form the core philosophy of Agile software development. These values guide Agile teams to prioritise collaboration, adaptability and delivering functional software over rigid processes and excessive documentation. By focusing on these values, Agile methodologies encourage teams to create software that meets customer needs while remaining flexible in the face of changing requirements.
1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools:
- Focus on people and how they work together
- Emphasise communication and collaboration
2. Working software over comprehensive documentation:
- Prioritise delivering functional software
- Reduce excessive documentation
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation:
- Involve customers throughout the development process
- Adapt to changing customer needs
4. Responding to change over following a plan:
- Embrace flexibility in development
- Adjust quickly to new requirements or market conditions
These values guide Agile teams in prioritising adaptability and customer satisfaction.
