Fremont, CA: Agile methodologies were first introduced to about ten years ago. Companies have seen technology progress at breakneck pace during that period, and they have faced many new challenges in the way they work; undoubtedly, never more so than in 2020.

Nonetheless, amid the proliferation of transition, the fundamental principles of Agile have withstood the test of time. Yeah, Agile has been agile in adapting to our unique needs. However, its ideals and principles are so strong that they apply to any company touched by this way of working.

It's hard to talk about 2021 without mentioning how Agile shifted and adapted to help us get through this tough time.The COVID-19 pandemic altered Agile in a particular way: it restored faith in the agile mentality.

What is the Agile Mindset?

All four principles are equally significant, but each has a distinct effect on the attitude. Making safety a requirement, for example, means giving workers the ability to experiment, innovate, and not be afraid of errors or failure – both of which are normal on our road to accomplishing new things.

Furthermore, providing value always benefits both consumers and employees. It relieves the stress of bouncing from one milestone to the next and contributes to a consistent standard of execution. Customers are pleased and thankful to see that companies are constantly evolving and improving what they offer them.
