"You Don't Do Agile, You Be Agile" - If you've been in Agile field for a while, you would have already heard advice to Be Agile. Agile is not a process but values and principles. Agile is a mindset. More than your processes, your behavior indicates your mindset as in, how do you handle failures, whether you focus on learning and growth, how do you handle complexity, and whether you focus to eliminate or embrace uncertainty. Kamlesh Ravlani helps us dissect the mindset, what's an Agile mindset and it's key attributes. He shares Carol Dweck's research on Growth Mindset - published in her book Mindset. Kamlesh discusses strategies and exercises to develop an Agile mindset.

We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.
