7. Principles behind manifesto
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Deliver working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage.

8. Principles behind manifesto
The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done--is essential.
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.

9. Principles behind manifesto
Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
