The declaration as published on agilemanifesto.org, the same as its English page (agilemanifesto.org/iso/en/manifesto.html). The line breaks of the page and its three columns of names are kept, and the first words of the four value lines are set larger, as on the page; the title is the title of the poster and the notice is in the footer. The dates and the place come from the history page of the site, agilemanifesto.org/history.html. The background artwork of the site is not used.

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.
