I never really got the "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools" one. What processes and tools is it talking about? Surely it's not saying I should talk to a colleague to track a change rather than use version control? I feel like I'm missing some context of what "tools and processes" it is talking about.

The others I get, but only after having already spent years in software. I guess like many things you have to see the other way before you can appreciate the better way.

One example of this would be that it's better to go over to your buddy in QA to talk about the feature you just pushed instead of jumping into Jira and activating your overwrought, weirdly scripted kanban flow that requires 3 asynchronous steps to be taken for it to actually be picked up by anyone who can finally give a damn.

It is the usual and old advice that instead of, for instance, doing back and forth over emails, Jira, whatever it is more effective to just go discuss with the relevant person directly.
