Agility Manifesto
We have uncovered better ways of delivering software projects in the 20+ years since the Agile Manifesto was born. At the time of writing the manifesto, the biggest problem to solve was delivering software projects. Since then, we have gotten a lot better at delivery, and we learned that:
Agile does not stop you from delivering the wrong things.
Agile introduced much of the business world to new and better ways of working.
Many Agile concepts can be applied outside of the software domain.
Agile done wrong turned many developers away from Agile.
The agile methods that existed when the manifesto was written don't scale.
Learning from the past and standing on the shoulders of Agile, we have come to value:
Outcomes over Output
Customers' needs over Shareholder's whims
Products over Projects
Positive impact on customers over Deployment of code
Teal over Taylor
Teal = Management practices supporting employee autonomy
Taylor = Industrial age management built on command and control
Taylor = Industrial age management built on command and control
