This document discusses agile project management principles for Drupal web development projects. It introduces the Agile Manifesto and its focus on individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. It also covers user stories, prioritizing tasks by value and risk, and holding three core meetings: planning, daily standup, and retrospective. Resources for learning more about agile methodologies are provided.

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value
the items on the left more.
