Definition of Active Agility
A Scientific Definition of Agility 
Agility is a new way of thinking about and preparing 
for 
the unanticipated. 
Is the capability to successfully effect, cope with, 
and exploit changes in circumstances.
Active Agility Characteristics => Skills to develop 
 Versatility 
 Flexibility 
 Resilience 
 Adaptability 
 Responsiveness 
 Innovativeness
Enhancing Agility Characteristics 
 Adaptability (active) 
the ability to recognize changes in the environment 
and in shifting priorities and rapid change, 
identify the critical elements of the new situation 
and trigger changes accordingly
Studies & Experiments results help to 
 Develop Active Agility skills 
 Reduce or remove inhibitors of Agility 
 Discover how much Agility do you need?
Active Agility 
We cannot always decide when change will 
come,
Active Agility 
We cannot always decide when change will 
come, 
But
Active Agility 
We cannot always decide when change will 
come, 
But 
It’s us who can shape the future 
and decide what the change will look like in the end

Editor's Notes

  1. Pair programming example, why that's not enough (why, how) Learning to ride a bicycle without training wheels http://www.flickr.com/photos/jlatimer/4972886728/ - Jeff Latimer
  2. Passive Agility: The innate qualities or design of the entity (its passive component) permit it to operate under the conditions that form the solid ellipse without the need to sense and respond to conditions. Active Agility: allows the entity to extend the set of conditions under which it can successfully operate Is the degree to which one can maintain the level of performance after a change in the circumstances.
  3. Scientific: Complexity Science, Complex Adaptive Systems, Social Complexity David Alberts and Richard Hayes; 2003-2011,
  4. stand-up meeting retrospective meeting, XP gelled virtual teams, YAGNI / JIT Just Enough requirements that enable continuous re-planning meeting, confidence to learn new skill outside comfort zone Flexibility vs Adaptability: Adaptation permits an entity to change itself, that is, to change its organization, processes, and/or structure to become better suited for the challenge.
