agile

A mindset grounded in the values and principles outlined in the Manifesto for Agile Software Development.

Key Points

  • Centers on values and principles rather than rigid processes or tools.
  • Encourages iterative work, continuous learning, and rapid feedback.
  • Prioritizes customer value, collaboration, and responding to change.
  • Guides behaviors across roles, practices, and frameworks, not just software teams.

Example

A cross-functional team plans in two-week iterations, meets daily to inspect progress, reprioritizes the backlog with the product owner, and frequently releases small increments to gather user feedback—demonstrating the agile mindset in action.
