E.5 The project management Declaration of Interdependence

This was published in 2004/2005 by a group of several agile thought leaders. It was an evolution of the Agile Manifesto and its aim was to address a wider audience such as the project management community and not necessarily just those in the software domain (www.pmdoi.org). To achieve successful results, the declaration commits its proponents to:

• increase return on investment by making continuous flow of value their focus
• deliver reliable results by engaging customers in frequent interactions and shared ownership
• expect uncertainty and manage for it through iterations, anticipation and adaptation
• unleash creativity and innovation by recognizing that individuals are the ultimate source of value and creating an environment where they can make a difference
• boost performance through group accountability for results and shared responsibility for team effectiveness
• improve effectiveness and reliability through situationally specific strategies, processes and practices.
