At its core, the manifesto declares 4 value statements representing the foundation of the Agile movement. As written, the manifesto states.

2. Scaling Agile to Large Teams
Many people wouldn't use the words big and Agile in the same sentence. Large software organizations have earned the reputation of being big and slow to change. However, that is changing. Many large organizations are successfully making the transformation to Agile. They are learning to scale Agile principles with or without popular frameworks such as SAFe, LeSS, or Nexus.

3. Adapting an Agile culture
The Agile movement is about continually finding ways to improve the approach and practice of building software. It's not about a perfect daily standup or retrospective. Instead, it's about creating a culture where the right thing happens more often than not. Activities like standups and retrospectives have their place, but they won't change an organization's culture.
