Big A vs. little a...

A misguided 'coach' I once worked with presented an entire organization with a Power Point slide that said whatever the dictionary defines as 'agile' is 'good Agile'.

I coach my teams and organizations to be aware of the difference between "little a" agile (the dictionary definition) vs. "big A" Agile (Agile mindset from the Agile Manifesto).

Forbes and ScrumAlliance worded it well in their publication "The Elusive Agile Enterprise".


AGILITY VERSUS AGILE
agility
A property of an organization to sense and respond to market changes and continuously deliver value to customers.

Agile
An organizational approach and mindset defined by the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto, often practiced through a framework like Scrum.
