This manifesto had to be written as a formulated statement of a pure developer.
But it probably can not be used as a manual for the software developer in a larger organization, because it puts the software developer out of context.
A good software developer should always act inside his/her envronment and take all stakeholders in the software into account: the ones actually developing, the ones coming up with ideas on how to develop, the ones coming up with ideas on how to sell the developed stuff, the ones trying to check if the developed stuff is working and so on. A good software developer does not only understand the limitations he/she has to cope with but on an abstract level also those affecting the other stakeholders. Only if one understands the system one can work most efficiently inside of it. So, to all developers, learn a bit about management, about marketing, about selling and testing.
