Agile Fundamentals
An introduction to
the Agile fundamentals
An industry-recognized credential, Agile Fundamentals (ICP), shows knowledge of the agile mentality, values, principles, and underlying ideas. Professionals accomplish organizational agility without focusing on one agile methodology or framework because they understand what it means to “be agile while doing agile” (i.e., Scrum, Kanban, XP, DSDM, SAFe, etc.)

LEARNING OUTCOMES
HISTORY & MINDSET
Origins of Agile
The Agile Manifesto, which was the culmination of a great deal of earlier effort, is often seen as the founding document by newcomers to the agile community.
Agile Manifesto & Agile Beyond Software Development
All incarnations of Agile development are still grounded in the 2001 Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Agile is being adopted more widely across the firm.
CULTURE & MINDSET
The “Agile process” is what attracts many individuals to Agile. In Agile businesses, some processes and approaches could be more helpful or familiar than others, but the mind must come first.
Establishing the Agile Mindset & Agile in Context
The best method to enable the Agile Mindset in a student is through actual experience.
Agile in Context (As a Journey)
Individuals, teams, and organizations’ knowledge and experience levels can have an impact on their behaviour, adoption, and procedures.
INDIVIDUALS & INTERACTIONS
Developing Soft Skills: Soft skills like attitude, community, trust, and morale have traditionally been left out of team-based design. Agile brings them to the force
Understanding Communication Barriers & Sharing Knowledge:
Projects can be impacted when organizations pay more attention to physical and cultural separation costs. When teams ignore tacit vs documented knowledge, they are not able to make conscious decisions about sharing information
Physical Work Environments & Collaboration Techniques:
Setting up workspaces that hinder rather than help the team is easy. Collaboration needs to be experienced, not just talked about
Techniques for Shared Understanding:
The Agile community has adopted several tools and techniques to support shared understanding.
SHIFTS IN ROLES
The term “self-organizing” can create concern for individuals and organizations because it infers shifts in traditional power structures. Agile learners and organizations must define and align old and new role definitions.
VALUE-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Incremental Development, Value-Based Work & Retaining Quality
One anchor of Agile development is incremental development. Many people, even understanding incremental development, need help to break work into small, value-centred work items and track their progress. In incremental-iterative development, the expense of rework is simple to overlook.
Work-In-Progress (WIP)
Work-in-Progress (WIP), a term from lean manufacturing, seems a strange concept to introduce outside of manufacturing to many people, but WIP shows incremental development.
Continuous Integration, Cost & Benefit of Frequent Delivery
Continuous integration is a valuable goal in software development; non-software projects can still use the more general concepts of frequent integration. Delivering is not merely giving a demo; it includes costs and benefits.
CUSTOMER & USER INVOLVEMENT
Defining the Customer, User Involvement & Feedback
The literature and common usage can be confusing in defining the customer. Product/project success correlates with end-user involvement. Many teams need help getting end-users to participate in a project, which can fail even if the team practices every other Agile habit besides getting feedback from real users. Ongoing user feedback is essential for maximizing customer value.
PLANNING & ADAPTING
Planning, Estimation & Status
A misconception of Agile development is that it involves no planning and promises. Agile teams understand the value of joint estimation during planning. A team and its sponsors need to know how the work is progressing.
PROCESS & PRODUCT ADAPTATION
A common mistake is to imagine that there is a single process that can fit all projects & situations; even a good process becomes mismatched to the team over time. Products need to be adapted based on learning and feedback. However, an unprepared team can need to react more vigorously to change requests.
