Agile mindset

Agile mindset is the trending topic in today's IT world. Agile transformations are becoming the most sought-after process change today.

Agile mindset focus on keeping things simple. My personal opinion is, it is a kind of philosophy to be used in life. Why should we complicate life, by just imagining things ? Instead, lets jump into action, plan things, be consistent, validate the progress, thus by following a set of principles we either achieve our goal or learn from the process.

The Agile mindset, an interesting transformation from bureaucratic mindset where people are fit into hierarchy and decision making is kept with top-management. In simple terms, the goal is to make money, ignoring value of people whereas Agile is about working towards what is right? instead of getting into who is right?

Agile is based out of core values like collaboration, Respect, Accountability and Adaptability. These values creates a broad mindset in people and encourage their creative thinking which not only benefits the people but the organization as well by gaining better client trust, increased satisfaction due to transparency and indeed all revolves around economy.
