The Agile Manifesto

Correct Answer: Resolution of the unfinished task over maintaining the design documents

According to the Agile Manifesto, the importance is given to 'working software over comprehensive documentation.' This means that the team should focus on completing the unfinished tasks rather than concentrating excessively on maintaining design documents. While documentation is essential, it should not overtake the main objective, i.e., producing working software. The other options do not align with Agile principles. 'Hiring more designers to complete the work faster' might add more overhead and delay in feedback loops, going against the Agile philosophy of smaller, cross-functional teams with effective collaboration. 'Ignore the feedback and continue working on the documents' similarly contradicts the Agile value of customer collaboration over contract negotiation. Lastly, 'Increase project timeline to accommodate both tasks' might seem a reasonable approach but, in Agile, time is considered a constant (as much as possible) with focus on delivering value continuously rather than extending timelines to fit all work.

Correct Answer: Individuals and interactions should be valued more over processes and tools.

The Agile Manifesto lays emphasis on individuals and interactions over processes and tools. Although, it does not dismiss that the use of processes and tools can be beneficial to an extent, it stresses the fact that they are secondary to the human components of the team. The response 'Individuals and interactions should be valued more over processes and tools.' accurately reflects the agile mindset. The other options like 'Continued emphasis on using tools and processes.', 'Applying even more advanced tools and formalized processes.', and 'Lowering the emphasis on team interactions and focusing solely on the tools.' are incorrect as they contradict the Agile Manifesto's values by prioritizing tools and processes over individuals and their interactions.

Correct Answer: Working software

The Agile Manifesto values 'working software' over 'comprehensive documentation.' While documentation is necessary and beneficial, in Agile, more emphasis is put on delivering working software. The ideas of complete project predictability and traditional project management methods are not aligned with the Agile philosophy, which prioritizes adaptability and interaction. Extensive documentation is also not the main focus in Agile, it is important but secondary to working software.
