We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

 Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

我們通過身體力行和幫助他人來揭示更好的軟件開發方式。經由這項工作，我們形成了如下價值觀：

 個體與交互 重于 過程和工具
可用的軟件 重于 完備的文檔
客戶協作   重于 合同談判
響應變化   重于 遵循計劃

在每對比對中，后者并非全無價值，但我們更看重前者。
