Understanding the Nuances of Agile Manifesto Values in Project Management
Dear BIVILLEPM Community,
The Agile Manifesto highlights four key statements that underscore its core values:
- Prioritizing individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
- Emphasizing working software over comprehensive documentation.
- Fostering customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
- Preferring responding to change over following a plan.
These statements lay the foundation for agile development practices.

The Agile Manifesto presents core values and principles that shape modern project management practices. However, it’s essential to recognize the nuances and contextual considerations within these principles:
1. Fostering Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation: While customer collaboration is pivotal, in certain contracting scenarios, negotiation plays a critical role. It’s important not to generalize this principle across all project management contexts.
2. Prioritizing Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools: While human interactions are fundamental, processes and tools provide structure and repeatability. Balancing both aspects is crucial for effective project management.
3. Responding to Change over Following a Plan: Change management processes are integral to adaptability. However, adherence to a plan is necessary for completing tasks efficiently when change is minimal or unnecessary.
4. Emphasizing Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation: While applicable in software development, other industries may require comprehensive documentation for asset management. The principle should be interpreted contextually.
Understanding the varied contexts and adapting principles accordingly fosters effective project management practices. It’s vital to discern the applicability of Agile Manifesto principles in diverse project environments.
