Agile is an organisational capability
performed by teams
www.joel-krapf.com
| 5
Mindset on the other hand
is an individual «ways of
thinking and believing»

Sure, agile organisations need agile people
www.joel-krapf.com
| 7
However, an agile individual doesn’t make
an agile organisation

Furthermore, an agile mindset doesn’t ensure that someone
«acts» agile within a team.
For this, you need agile competency as well as the right
circumstances.

the organisational transformation it is!
