Description:
 Agility is needed more than ever. So why is Agile struggling? 

It is struggling because it acquired a fixed mindset.

We are stuck in the frameworks, particularly Scrum and SAFe. Each time those are updated, we rush to the website and parse the changes.

Yet agility is an emergent ecosystem property. It does not come from a framework. Agility comes from how people react when things change. It’s fundamentally about leader behavior, and that includes anyone in any kind of leadership role. 

We need to get unaddicted to the frameworks, and ask ourselves what generates true agility and effectiveness, because agility without effectiveness is useless. 

We need to figure out what questions to ask, instead of what practices to follow. Learning is about questions. It’s about the cognitive journey, the acquisition of judgement and wisdom over time. It’s not about following someone else’s practice. 

The right question to ask ourselves is, What’s the question?
