Question
The Agile Manifesto is a document that defines the key values and principles behind the Agile philosophy and helps development teams work more efficiently and sustainably. Each of the four key values is split into two sections: a left-hand side and a right-hand side. In other words, though there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. What is one of the key values of the Agile Manifesto?

- Acomprehensive documentation over working software
- Bcontract negotiation over customer collaboration
- Cindividuals and interactions over processes and tools

Why each option
The Agile Manifesto defines four core values, each expressed as a preference for one approach over another. 'Individuals and interactions over processes and tools' is one of the four authentic values.
This inverts the actual Agile value - the manifesto values working software over comprehensive documentation, not the other way around.
This is the reverse of the actual Agile value - the manifesto values customer collaboration over contract negotiation, not contract negotiation over customer collaboration.
The Agile Manifesto explicitly states 'Individuals and interactions over processes and tools' as one of its four foundational values, meaning that human collaboration and communication are prioritized over rigid adherence to tools or workflows. This reflects the belief that motivated, communicating individuals are the primary driver of successful software delivery. The other three authentic values are: working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan.
This is the opposite of the actual Agile value - the manifesto values responding to change over following a plan, not following a plan over responding to change.
