1.4 Agile Mindset

The idea of the Agile mindset has been a subject of conversation at many conferences and has been examined in numerous books. A helpful article on this topic from Forbes helps us understand what the Agile mindset is all about. It's important to mention that the term 'Agile mindset' was first introduced in 2010 by Ahmed Sidky, who is a well-known figure in the Agile community.

“Really, Agile is a mindset — it’s a way of thinking — that’s defined by four values, described by twelve principles, and then manifested through an unlimited number of practices or different ways of working. It’s simply a deep understanding and culture of learning and experimentation and trying things out. Any creative work will benefit from this notion of an Agile way of working.” By: Ahmed Sidky.

Disclaimer: Implementing the practices, tools and processes without the Agile mindset, values and principles of the Agile Manifesto is not Agile.
