The other day I was running an Agile training and someone with less of an IT background called out to me that she disagrees with the statement “working software over comprehensive documentation”. I was shocked initially until she explained that working software means terribly little when no one uses it (for example due to poor documentation or change communication) or if the software does not solve a business problem.
Wow – how had I not noticed this clear miss before. Of course, we are not about just building software and the Agile manifesto came from people who were thinking about creating software in a better way. But more than decade after I started to run Agile trainings, why had I never noticed this clear gap in the manifesto for our modern context.
