WHY

Some leaders wrongly believe that agile is a quick and easy solution for any product or problem which needs to be responsive and innovative in a fast-changing world. They don’t realize that Agile is not just for software developers but for all kinds of teams and functions to ensure they are self-organized. The best companies use agile to adapt and succeed in changing and challenging times, with a long-term vision. Agile Mindset is a way of managing Products that focuses on delivering value to customers and stakeholders in short cycles. Agile teams collaborate with each other and with customers to understand their needs and expectations and adapt to changing requirements and feedback. An agile mindset guides individuals/teams/teams or teams to help in improving communication and collaboration, reduce risks and waste, and increase quality and satisfaction.

WHO

Do you want to thrive in a world of constant change and uncertainty? Do you want to deliver amazing results to your customers in record time? Do you want to work with a team that is aligned, motivated, and responsive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need to build an Agile Mindset, which embodies values & principles and a few independent frameworks (set of practices) that help you embrace change, innovate faster, and collaborate better. It doesn’t matter what kind of product or function you are involved in, an agile way of working can help you achieve your goals and delight your customers. Whether you are a project manager, a product owner, a Scrum Master, a team member, or a leader. Agile will empower you to succeed in the modern world.

WHAT

Many people think that agile is a practice or framework or tool that they can buy or adopt. But agile is much more than that. Agile is a mindset that guides how we think and work. It’s a mindset that puts people and values first. Humans are born agile, and we can learn from our mothers how they raised us with love and flexibility. They adjusted to our needs and changed their plans as we grew up. If you want to understand how agile is sold in the market, then imagine an organization that delights its customers with every interaction. An organization that collaborates with customers and stakeholders to understand their problems and expectations, and delivers solutions to them in small but frequent increments. An organization that embraces change and feedback, and adapts quickly and effectively to new opportunities. An organization that enables its people to work together, create together, and learn together. An organization that follows the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto, which is the essence of agile thinking. An organization that uses frameworks, such as Scrum, and methods, tools, and approaches that support Agility.
