What is "Agile" and what does it mean?

What does being "Agile" really mean? My colleague of many decades ago, Brian Link is the expert at this and I'm thrilled to announce that he just published his book, "The Practical Agilist Guidebook" which is a must to read! Here's how the book came about and what he shares that you can expect from it: 🙌 What started as an exercise to build an agile team assessment to be used quarterly as a retro to find topics to improve with no frameworks, scaling concerns, or scores... turned into an entirely different project. 🏆 "Measure the Mindset" is the assessment and it's also available, but in writing it I realized that the behaviors I described in each topic through low, medium, and high levels of maturity formed the basis of what I talk to teams about as an agile coach. 🧐 Being agile is about the behaviors behind the Agile Mindset. I define the agile mindset as a combination of 7 different mindsets and cultures that a team needs to embrace before it clicks and they truly get it... appreciating the why behind the mechanics. 💔 The industry is the worst it's ever been right now. The tech and agile roles portion of the industry is down 70%! So, I thought it'd be helpful to write down what I teach teams, simplified in 24 topics. Like an Agile Coach in a box! 💥 Does your team need help? Pick a topic and dig in. I describe why the topic is important, what you can do to improve yourself and even have tips for Scrum Masters and Leaders for how to support the team. Each topic also has some AI prompts to help you explore further on your own and tons of books, videos, articles and resource examples. The book is available now on Amazon. Links in the comments. Be agile my friends! Thank you in advance for checking out the book! #agile #practiceagility #agilemindset
