CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 199

The Agile Manifesto is a document that defines the key values and principles behind the Agile philosophy and helps development teams work more efficiently and sustainably. Each of the four key values is split into two sections: a left-hand side and a right-hand side. In other words, though there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. What is one of the key values of the Agile Manifesto?

Answer options

• A. comprehensive documentation over working software
• B. contract negotiation over customer collaboration
• C. individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• D. following a plan over responding to change

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, which highlights the importance of individuals and interactions in the Agile philosophy, emphasizing that effective teamwork is more critical than rigid processes. The other options incorrectly suggest that documentation, contracts, or strict planning are more important than collaboration and adaptability, which contradicts the core values of Agile.
