𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗲!

You know that satisfying moment when you realise you’ve been doing something right, without even labelling it?

There’s a quote that often shows up in Agile articles:
“D𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘈𝘨𝘪𝘭𝘦, 𝘉𝘦 A𝘨𝘪𝘭e. ”

It hit me again while I was prepping for a workshop I’d promised my team.

I ran the 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 session, covering a few key topics:
• What Agile really means
• What Product Managers need to know
• A quick tour through XP, Kanban, Scrum, Lean, LeSS, SAFe, Nexus, and more

While working on the content, I paused and asked myself: 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭?
And the answer surprised me: 𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵!

Not perfect. Not by the book.
But real, grounded progress.

We may not have ticked every box in a framework, but we are almost Agile. Especially in the Product Team, we are improving month after month, and that matters.

Agility isn’t just about frameworks and ceremonies.
It’s about the 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.
And sometimes, it’s doing the right thing without even naming it.
