The Agile ManifestoWe 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.
Reading documentation ≠ shared understanding

their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand.”
