It's the opposite of the Agile Manifesto. These are 3 practical steps to management that apply to any industry where you depend on workers with diverse skillsets, software included. I actually picked them up from "First, Break all the Rules," a general management guide. OTOH, the Agile Manifesto is collection of value judgments that are not only vague to the point of being incomprehensible but also completely ignored by all agile practitioners (i.e. evangelists, coaches, whatever you call them).
I viewed the Agile Manifesto as a sacred text of software development for most of my career. Eventually, I came to understand that this is not a sacred text but a golden calf. It's just a gentleman's agreement between consultants not to interfere with each other's snake oil. It's not a misunderstood document; it simply wasn't intended to be understood.
