Being Agile is more about soft skills than hard skills and striving to excel in agility.
Here are some facts about AGILE:
- 1. Agile is a philosophy.
- – Agile is NOT a methodology. Nor is Agile what you do.
- 2. Being Agile is who you are. It’s an adjective, not a verb. It’s a dynamically empirical and collaborative mindset. You ARE Agile.
- 3. Because definitions of Agile vary, it’s best when people in organizations define Agile the same way.
- 4. Having a mindset of being Agile, you know that agility is NOT limited to software development.
- – Regardless of your job title and functional area of work / line of work, you choose to have an Agile mindset and determine how to empirically and collaboratively produce quality work done fast.
- You consistently practice agility—done by producing quality work fast.
- – Your team uses Agile methodologies or develop your own ways to get work done fast, such as a hybrid Water-Agile-Fall methodology.
When you are Agile, producing quality outputs quickly will naturally follow—whether you use Agile methodologies or not.
