6. Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

11. UX design meets agile development
1. Staff UX designers in agile dev teams and squads,
share the same objectives, join the daily standups
2. Design sprints build cross-disciplinary commitment
3. Usability testing is QA
4. Have a design system, even if it’s just a glorified name
for a UI component library
5. Avoid manual handoffs
6. Design team or chapter builds design consistency
and develops design talent
7. Trendspotting, foresight, and future concept exploration
happens outside the agile development sprint cadence
