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.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  87% (33)

Explanation

Option D correctly captures the Agile spirit by pairing "responding to change" with customer satisfaction - both core themes of the manifesto, which states "Responding to change over following a plan" and establishes customer satisfaction as the highest priority in its principles.

Why the distractors fail:

• A gets the pairing backwards - the manifesto values customer collaboration over contract negotiation, not over responding to change.
• B inverts the manifesto entirely - it values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, not project management over people.
• C flips two separate values; the manifesto prizes working software over documentation, and individuals over processes - never processes over documentation.

Memory tip: The Agile Manifesto always values the "softer," more adaptive side over the rigid, bureaucratic side - people over process, working software over docs, collaboration over contracts, change over plans. Any answer that flips this order or mixes the pairs is a distractor.
