Faster, Better, Cheaper – The Art of Making Software

Nice. Now read this (I think it says the same thing just shorter): 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.

Sure, businesses like working software right now and documentation never. And especially not proof or good design. Pile of technical debt accumulates.

They do not like interactions nor individuals at all. Too unreliable. They prefer processes but in so doing force bad processes and separation of concerns that prevents in depth solutions.

Responding to change without vision causes random changes slowing work down and preventing important ones (churn).

So where is your value on the left?
