The document discusses why agile is absurd. It first defines what is meant by "absurd" and then presents the agile manifesto which values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. It then lists the 12 principles behind the agile manifesto which focus on satisfying customers, embracing changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and developers, self-organizing teams, face-to-face communication, and continuously improving effectiveness.

commun, qui est aberrant, insensé : Ce
raisonnement absurde aboutit à un non-
sens. Il est absurde de croire aux
revenants.
• Qui parle ou agit d'une manière
déraisonnable : Vous êtes absurde de vous
obstiner.
• Pour les existentialistes, se dit de la
condition de l'homme, qu'ils jugent
dénuée de sens, de raison d'être.

Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
We follow these principles:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
