Yes, it does... and it doesn't 🙂
Epesi Academy was based on earlier, modified Agile Manifesto principles:
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
What it really means: abandon traditional approach and do "whatever works". There should be no fixed and rigid set of rules and this means that even the above principles should be treated as flexible.

We want to "produce" MVRCKW: Minimum Viable Remote Capable Knowledge Workers.
Like in MVP - Minimum Viable Product.
- Remote Executive Assistants
- Remote IT Administrators
- Remote Cloud Specialists
(how else if not remotely can you manage a computer cloud today?)
Remote workforce in general, people who don't want RTO (Return To Office) and still want to WFH (Work From Home) or as I call it WFA (Work From Anywhere), as we do since circa 1996.
Translating software development agile manifesto into online education jargon I would postulate the following:
Manifesto for Agile Education
We are uncovering better ways of educating people by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this approach we have come to value:
- Individuals and interactions over outdated and rigid curriculum
- Working knowledge over Grade Point Average (GPA)
- Students collaboration over exams and tests
- Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

What is Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?
A minimum viable product (MVP) is a concept from Lean Startup that stresses the impact of learning in new product development. Eric Ries defined an MVP as that version of a new product that allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort. This validated learning comes in the form of whether your customers will actually purchase your product.
A key premise behind the idea of MVP is that you produce an actual product (which may be no more than a landing page, or a service with an appearance of automation, but which is fully manual behind the scenes) that you can offer to customers and observe their actual behavior with the product or service. Seeing what people actually do with respect to a product is much more reliable than asking people what they would do.
