# Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers.
# Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted.
# Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location).
# Working software is the primary measure of progress.
# Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace.
# Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design.
# Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work {{Not a typo|not}} done—is essential.
# Best [[Agile Architecture|architectures]], requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
# Regularly, the team reflects on how to become more effective, and adjusts accordingly.
