Agile is a vast global movement and it’s transforming the world of work. It’s spreading rapidly having kicked off in the world of software development around 2001 – so said Steve Denning in an article in Forbes Magazine titled ‘Explaining Agile’.

While agile was born in software development, industries, organisations, projects, teams and leaders the world over are seeing the productivity, profitability, customer value and engagement benefits to adopting an agile mindset.

If you’re about to embark on a journey to agile or introduce some newer ways of working at your place, at some point you’ll probably be ‘agile-ish’. You’ll be thinking and doing some of the things that successful agile teams and organisations do... and you'll be still doing some of the older things, the older ways of working that have served you well for decades. 

So where to begin?

It's a mindset... first 

It's a mindset thing... agile. There's no point bringing in a bunch of consultants, coaches and 'outsiders' to try and set up a new world, expecting your team to slot right in to it and 'flick a switch' to say 'Now we're agile'.

You'll need to make some changes in-house first. Sometimes this involves helping people understand what agile is about, how it's focused on putting the customer at the centre and how delivering more and better value is key. 

Depending on where you're already at with Agile and New Ways of Working in your organisation this might involve: 

- insights and learning

- collaboration and design

- experiences and practical programs

- experiments and tests

... to sample, try out and bring new ways of working to your organisation.
