Being Agile vs. Doing Agile
Many teams pull tools and techniques from the Agile toolbox,
but they are not delivering on the Agile mindset.
There is a difference between doing Agile and actually being Agile.
There are some questions you can ask yourself to see which team you belong to.
These questions are based on the
Declaration of Interdependence and the Agile Manifesto.
VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
Agile is a mindset, not a prescription. It is a holistic way to approach project management that goes far beyond tools, techniques, and templates. Agile project management requires a mindset that prioritizes agility at all times, through all phases, in all communications, and in all work.
Explore the following topics covered in the book:
