Abstract
One of the Agile values and two of the Agile principles specifically focus on the importance of employees. The Agile value states, “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” The Agile principles state: “Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project” and “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.”
