Manifesto for Agile Corporate Finance

Suppose that in 2001, seventeen corporate finance professionals came together at a ski lodge, and wrote a document called "Manifesto for Agile Corporate Finance", and one of the values promoted is "Cash on hand over receivables" (analogous to 'working software over comprehensive documentation).

How bizarre would it be if the values espoused in their manifesto then gets used as bedrock foundations for: the right way to build software, run projects, and a host of other activities unrelated to corporate finance?  

I also wonder if everyone would be calling it the "Agile Manifesto" for short, omitting the "for Corporate Finance", thus obscuring its intended domain.
