Which is a statement of value as described in the Agile manifesto?

Question

Options

• AWe value customer collaboration over responding to changes.
• BWe value project management over individuals and interactions.
• CWe value processes and tools over comprehensive documentation.
• DWe value responding to change to satisfy the customer.

• B
  5% (2)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  93% (40)

Explanation

Option D correctly reflects the Agile Manifesto's fourth value - "Responding to change over following a plan" - capturing the core idea that agility means adapting to change rather than rigidly adhering to a fixed plan.

Why the distractors fail:

• A mixes up two separate values: "customer collaboration" is real, but the manifesto pairs it against contract negotiation, not responding to changes.
• B inverts the manifesto entirely - it values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, not project management.
• C also inverts the manifesto: it values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and working software over comprehensive documentation - both are flipped here.

Memory tip: Remember the four Agile values as "the left side beats the right side" - Individuals > Processes, Working Software > Documentation, Customer Collaboration > Contracts, and Responding to Change > Following a Plan. Any answer that flips a pair or mixes items across pairs is a distractor.
