Interestingly this is pretty much "valuing individuals, working software, and customer interaction" - the core of the agile manifesto, but the bits that never seem to ever show up in "Agile" workplaces where way too often rigid compliance with standups, scrum meetings, and evenly sloped burndown charts (and foosball table, bean bags, and free energy drinks) are all "critical to the process", and fixed price engagements and hard deadlines are "the business reality"...
