Manifesto for Slow Software Development
In a corporate world plagued by stress, rushing, and tight deadlines, we are discovering new ways to create software. This work shares a mindset that balances excellence in the delivery of systems, client expectations, and the physical and mental health of collaborators. Through this work, we come to value:
Group and engagement
over
individuals and interactions
Bug-free software
over
working software
Programmers coding
over
boring meetings
Adaptable solution
over
customer collaboration
Definitive solution
over
responding to change
Workshops, coffee and snacks
over
useless daily meetings
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
