We practice Agility by

• Progressive Elaboration: the concept that our work evolves and develops over time and the more we look at it, question it, and discuss it, the clearer and more precise the right solution becomes. – No one ever gets it right the first time and it’s foolish to believe that.
• Regular Inspection: inspecting what we do and how we do it at frequent and consistent intervals. This leads to self-improvement and tangible action items (new things we can do better).
• Collaboration: Working together, discussing ideas, challenging viewpoints, feeding off each other’s energy, ideas and strategy and pushing each other to come up with a better solution than one mind alone.
• Adaptation: At the core of Agile, is that we build a plan and we plan often, but we also plan to adapt. In studying the successes and failures of companies throughout history, the #1 reason established companies failed is because they failed to adapt to the changing market/environment. We must have the ability to be open-minded and be ready to adapt our approach to our work. We cannot succumb to the familiar and comfortable ways of doing things and should always be looking for ways to improve.
