The Four Values of The Agile Manifesto
Parallel CM Value
Individuals and
Organizations don’t change,
1 Interactions Over
Processes and Tools
individuals do
Working Software Over Without adoption and usage

2 Comprehensive
Documentation
we end up getting
“solutions without results”
Customer Collaboration Individual change impacts

3 Over Contract
Negotiation
are what need to be defined
and can be managed
Responding to Enabling successful individual

4 Change Over
Following a Plan
change is the key to delivering
organizational outcomes
The Twelve Principles of Agile Development
Customer satisfaction
Adoption and usage at the table
1 through early and
continuous software delivery
from the beginning and throughout
Accommodate changing
Individual change journeys through
2 requirements throughout the
development process
ADKAR set the pace
Frequent delivery of working Frequently supporting individuals

3 software through ADKAR
Collaboration between the business Encouraging employee engagement

4 stakeholders and developers
throughout the project
and participation
Support, trust, and motivate

5 the people involved
Yup!
Enable face-to-face Communications, coaching, and sponsorship

6 interactions include face-to-face interactions

The Twelve Principles of Agile Development
Working software is the Adoption and usage is the primary
7 primary measure of progress measure of CM progress
Agile processes to support a

8 consistent development pace
Attention to technical detail Attention to answering peoples questions

9 and design enhances agility and need enhances adoption and usage
10 Simplicity ADKAR…
Self-organizing teams
11 encourage great architectures,
requirements, and designs

In both Waterfall and Agile,
we need to intentionally
ensure that change is
embraced, adopted and used.
It is not a question of Agile or CM,
but instead how we will
adjust and adapt CM in Agile.
