Value Is Contextual and Time-Dependent

Category: Agile Principles

Principle Intent

Recognize that value is not fixed. It evolves based on timing, context, and changing conditions. Decisions about what is valuable must be continuously revisited.

How to Apply This Principle

This principle is part of the Entrowise Principles Library and is used in the PPA Method to diagnose recurring delivery problems and develop principle-aligned actions. When this principle is violated, delivery teams often experience recurring symptoms that resist solution because the root cause—the violated principle—is never addressed directly.
