Agile focuses on developing an "Agile mindset" or way of thinking as the foundation for successfully implementing Agile practices. The Agile mindset is defined by the four values and twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto. It is a mindset that values individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. This mindset is then manifested through selecting appropriate Agile practices and processes based on a team or organization's specific needs, tailoring them as necessary. True Agility comes from internalizing this mindset in order to flexibly apply practices, not from just following specific methodologies.
