# 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](https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2019/08/13/understanding-the-Agile-mindset/?sh=479bc6475c17) 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](https://medium.com/icAgile/the-Agile-mindset-5e8328452a23) — 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.](https://www.slideshare.net/AgileNZ/ahmed-sidky-keynote-Agilenz)
