Agile Mindset

Agile begins with mindset — not ceremonies, tools, or processes.

Core Elements of Agile Mindset
  • Adaptability — responding to change, not resisting it.
  • Customer focus — delivering real value early and often.
  • Collaboration — cross-functional teamwork and shared goals.
  • Continuous learning — inspect, adapt, grow each sprint.
  • Transparency — clear information, no surprises.
Anti-Mindset Patterns
  • “We follow the rules because Scrum Guide says so.”
  • “We need estimates to commit to deadlines.”
  • “Retrospectives are optional.”
  • “Velocity must always increase.”
