Agile Culture
This refers to a working approach established in the Agile Manifesto. This document sets forth the fundamental values and principles for agile software development. However, agile culture has transcended the realm of software development and has been applied to various areas and business sectors.
The core values of agile culture include constant collaboration and communication, adaptability and rapid response to change, early and continuous delivery of valuable products or services, and a focus on individuals and their ability to self-manage and make decisions. You can review these values on the following page: https://agilemanifesto.org/
The agile mindset embodies a mentality and approach that propels flexibility and adaptability within work environments and organizations. It is not merely about implementing tools or practices, but about a shift in thinking across the entire organization based on agile beliefs. Therefore, a cultural transformation is required. The following graph illustrates how agility is typically perceived and how it should be viewed:
