Revisiting the Agile Manifesto recently, in conversations with Daniel Mezick, extending and expanding connections with Open Space. This isn’t a perfect translation. The third line could be tweaked to include internal customers and negotiations. Some might say that “learning and contributing” or other key Open Space terms need to be included. Even so, it’s true enough to show how easily Agile and Open Space fit together.
Manifesto for
Agile Software DevelopmentOpen Space OrganizationWe are uncovering better ways of
developing softwareworking in organization
by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
1. Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2.Working softwareOpen invitations and working marketplaces over
comprehensive documentationcorporate communications and scripted meetings
3. Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4. Responding to change over following a planThat is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.
