The Agile Manifesto
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides an ‘Introduction to the Agile Manifesto’ and looks to discuss what a values are stated within the Manifesto.

The product owner will define business outcomes that sponsors want to achieve with the delivery of this project. The effectiveness in delivery of those outcomes is measured using documented success factors and criteria.
The project vision will start with a strong impactful statement including the outcomes, success criteria, and a motivational statement as the true north. You need to be able to communicate the value of doing this project not only in terms of the end user but, also to all project team members.
