What is
Agile?
• Significant change in nature of work!
• Fundamentally impacts how we work.
• Directed towards continuously re-adapting and
constantly re-aligning:
• Internal processes with external problems
• Internal execution with external changes
• Internal solution expertise with external domain
complexity
• Internal success drivers with external value
measures
• Tip: it’s just plain common sense applied to solving
problems in business context, or simply the business
sense J!
More formally
“defined” by
the Agile
Manifesto,
circa 2001…

How Not!
• New titles ≠ Agile
• Tools ≠ Agile
• Scrum ≠ Mini-Waterfall
• Scrum ≠ Agile
• Doing rituals ≠ being agile
• SAFe ≠ Scaling
• Coach ≠ Capability
• Agile ≠ Panacea!
So, what is
agile
then??? A Mindset The Culture An Operating
System
Role of Leadership Shifting from reactive to creative mindsets
• From certainty to discovery: fostering innovation
• leading more with asking questions versus advocating your
opinion
• listening deeply, with a focus on what you might be missing
• creating space to pause and reflect
• From authority to partnership: fostering collaboration
• taking responsibility for what is yours
• reviewing your role and clarifying expectations with others
• surrounding yourself with people who think differently from
you
• From scarcity to abundance: fostering value creation
• identifying new opportunities and unmet needs —
• exploring how to provide more value to attract the
resources you need —
• seeking win–win outcomes based on contribution and
cocreation

The journey is
the reward…
Agile is not a
destination!
