Agile is a mindset, not a process or management fad, defined by four key principles that value individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over rigid plans. Adopting an agile mindset allows organizations to increase value by embracing failure, moving quickly without fear, and prioritizing employee feedback to improve outcomes rather than strictly controlling processes.

1. Agile is a mindset. Only.

2. Agile != SCRUM
Agile != Lean Startup
Agile != <Any management fad you can think about>

3. Just 4 principles
• Individuals and interactions > processes and tools
• Working software > comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration > over contract negotiation
• Responding to change > following a plan

4. Just a mindset. Why should I adopt it?

5. Prediction is broken. But the need for prediction will stay.

6. Failure should always be an option. But fear kills everything.

7. If you have everything under control, you’re just not going fast enough.

8. Use Agile not to decrease costs, but to increase value.

9. Ask your people how agile your organization is.

10. Crap in, crap out.

11. Values
• Simplicity
• Communication
• Feedback
• Respect
• Courage
