Agile

We use "agile" as an umbrella term to mean at least four different concepts that all emerged together and continue to influence how we work.

The Agile Experience where commonly-faced problems find fresh solutions that are hard to understand but easy to experience.

The Agile Mindset where one learns to look for similarly fresh solutions in diverse activities.

The Agile Practices where specific solutions have been assembled into a framework supported by available training and coaching.

The Agile Paradigm where recognizably similar solutions are adopted by distinctly different activities.

Agile has a complex history going back several decades. Even at its founding, agile's solutions were well known and had been for a century but not yet widely applied together. See the Agile Story
