First of all, both agile manifesto and this new one annoy me, mostly because the statements are far too open ended and vague to be of use. I like them because they're clever, but when employed by someone who takes everything literally they are at best a pain and lead to all the crap out there they try to label as agile/scrum.
Anyways, for anyone trying to grok this:
Agile:
1) Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
2) Working software over comprehensive documentation
3) Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
4) Responding to change over following a plan
Async:
a) Modern tools and flexible work environments over meetings and office hours
b) Flexibility in prioritization over detailed planning
c) Comprehensive documentation over tribal knowledge
Whats changed:
(a), and (1) are at complete odds.
(b) is (4) restated
(c) is some kind of patch of (2)
(3) isn't mentioned.
Also if you're wondering about the crappy design, I'm guessing its a pisstake of the original http://agilemanifesto.org/ http://agilemanifesto.org/

Although they could have simplified to down to one rule by saying "We value working the way we want to over the way you want us to". One of those successfully trolled and truly believing is going to reinvent Fred Brooks using javascript and claim he's been drastically improved as a result.
- lugg 12y agoSure it was a troll? and not just reference to the design style parody of the original? (ie the 1990s design)
- partomniscient 12y agoThey haven't publicly put names to it and the domain is WhoisGuard Protected, so I guess so? Either that, or their trolling level is so artful they're even self-decepting.
- lugg 12y agoI noticed lacking names, and the whois. My first guess was guerilla marketing by gitlab.

The Agile Manifsto isn't supposed to be "of use" in the sense of a canned methodology, its supposed to be a starting point for thinking about what works for you rather than adopting canned methodologies. So, that's as designed. (The Async Manifesto doesn't really seem vague -- it dictates specific practices as well as general principles. So I think its unfair to ding it for vagueness, and better to ding it for the specific practices being generally ill-conceived.)
