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.

PMP Example Question

In an organization shifting to adaptive delivery, what best describes the term "agile"?

  1. A prescribed set of tools and ceremonies that must be followed exactly

  3. A mindset based on the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto
  4. A linear, document-driven development lifecycle

Correct Answer: C — A mindset based on values and principles

Explanation: Agile refers to a mindset that emphasizes the Agile Manifesto's values and principles, not a rigid process, contract type, or sequential lifecycle.

ICS/OT Incident Response Drills and Exercises

An incident response plan is only a theory until the people who must use it have run it under pressure. This course helps OT engineers, operations leaders, IT responders, and security teams turn a plan on paper into a tested capability.

Define safe states and manual fallback before an incident forces the decision. Build escalation paths, tabletop exercises, and scenarios that expose the gaps a document review cannot find.

Then turn the results into evidence: an after-action report, owned improvements, recovery checks, and a drill cadence that keeps the program alive after the exercise ends.
