Being a strong proponent of both Agile and Configuration Management (CM), I was curious to learn if Agile professionals perceived CM to be of value in an Agile setting. Having worked in both areas for some time, my initial hypothesis was "yes" Agile professionals value CM. It should be noted that the Agile Manifesto has a value that says "People and Interactions over Processes and Tools". I interpret this to mean that the people and their interactions should drive the appropriate level of processes and tools and not have tools or processes dictate how people should work and interactions should occur. In addition, the word "over" does not mean "versus" so it does not mean that processes and tools are unimportant.
