12. 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.

32. ProcessWhirl - Our story
ProcessWhirl was started in 2011 in India by team of people with background in
engineering, marketing, software and statistics who all shared a deep passion of for
quality.
Kishore the founder felt the need to educate organizations and people around importance of
quality, while working with a PVC pipe manufacturer as a trainee during his masters in
Quality and Reliability, where an uncalibrated instruments were used to assess the quality of
the PVC pipes used for supplying drinking water. A meeting with CEO, not only resulted in the
calibration of instruments, training to staff but a personal note of thanks from CEO for
educating him and his team.
ProcessWhirl is the result of that intention.
Our purpose is to educate and empower people and organisations for excellence.
Currently we serve customers in India, UK, USA
