Do we really need a manifesto for software craftsmanship?
This seems like a reaction to, maybe an extension of, the Agile Manifesto. I don’t see anything that I object to, but maybe that’s just because I (and the teams I lead who adopted and signed the Agile Manifesto) believed those “implementation details” were already covered.
- Not only working software, but also well-crafted software
- Not only responding to change, but also steadily adding value
- Not only individuals and interactions, but also a community of professionals
- Not only customer collaboration, but also productive partnerships
Can’t hurt, I guess, since some people need to have every little detail spelled out for them.
Comparing the state of the art of software development to where it was before the “agile revolution”, I think we’ve come a long, long way!!
