Has Agile Become a Process Instead of a Mindset?

Agile is neither a process nor a mindset. Agile is not focused in adaptability. Adaptability is Lean. Lean provides efficiency to gain into adaptability. For many people agile is solely associated with the family of software development processes that uses that label. Agile and Agility was identified in a 1991 study funded by USA DoD/NSF to determine the competitive operational strategy that would follow Lean. In 2001 the software development community adopted the word and general concept, with a variety of branded practices that bury the core concept. Agile and Agility was defined inside the USA/DoD Agility Forum in Leihigh University. "Agility is the ability of a system to thrive in an uncertain and unpredictably evolving environment; deploying effective response to both opportunity and threat, within mission.". Because of that Agile and Agility are based on systemic thinking applied to organizations. It does mean Agile is a matter of enterprise architecture because organizations are open and adaptable systems and the key differentiator when organizations use Agile and gain into Agility is they can reconfigure everything without impacts. Example: think about the COVID-19 cituation and those organizations that thanks were reconfigurable didnt suffer impacts when changed to remote work and production. Process and mindset are just two components to be taking into account when you analyze the enterprise architecture. By the way, business analyst role should be accountable for that leading the transformation.
