Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. Working software over comprehensive documentation

Why the other options are wrong
- A. While important, this principle focuses on team dynamics, not the output of working software.
- B. This principle focuses on stakeholder engagement in decision-making, not specifically the delivery of software.
- C. This principle focuses on adaptability to changes, which is not the primary focus of the scenario's description.
