What type of 'Agile' person are you?
There are two types of Agile people in the world:
Capital “A†Agile people equate “agile†with Agile software development methodologies or frameworks. Agile requires specific roles, processes, and deliverables. You have to do Agile, to be Agile.
Lower case “a†agile people subscribe to the underlying values of Agile development, but most often use the term by its dictionary definition. Businesses can be agile. (Forrester)
When I hear agile, I think: flexible, adaptable, and being coordinated enough to make quick adjustments to changes in your environment. It is a skill that’s important at work and at home. Whether you’re a capital A or lower case A there are a number of important lessons everyone can take away from the software development world of Agile.
- Build a shared purpose for centered around your customers and focus on learning fast.
- Test ideas early and understanding the needs of your business customers better through more frequent interaction.
- Focus on fidelity and purity of process execution.
- Focus on measurement of process.
- Structure your organization toward business-led cross-functional teams.
- Invest in a high performing culture by devoting time to talent acquisition and retention.
