JB Rainsberger took a stab at simplifying the Agile Manifesto.
Original (24 words):
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
I’ll see your 3 bullets (24 words), JB,
- People working together over precise rules and pre-packaged solutions
- Working software over promises
- Doing what’s needed over doing what we said was needed
and raise (well, reduce) you:
- People working together over dogma
- Working software over promises
- Doing what’s needed now
24 words to 13 words. Same context? You decide.
More to follow 🙂
keep in mind that the agile manifesto was created by a committee, just like the camel was a horse created by a committee
true ‘nuf, Bob.
