Select which option best completes the following statement: _____________ is all about response to change.

One of the four core values of the Agile Manifesto is "Responding to change over following a plan." This principle highlights that in complex work environments, requirements and priorities are expected to evolve. Agile methodologies are designed to embrace this change, allowing teams to adapt their work and deliver value incrementally, rather than being locked into a rigid, upfront plan.

A: Change management is a formal discipline for managing organizational change, which is different from the Agile principle of adapting to changing product requirements. B: While planning is part of Agile (e.g., Sprint Planning), Agile values the ability to respond to change over strict adherence to the initial plan. C: Customer satisfaction is a primary goal of Agile, achieved through practices like responding to change, but it is not the statement's direct subject.
