The right attitude for Lean and Agile
Confidence in Agile usually comes only with experience, but that's a problem for people applying it for the first time, or for people who work with non-Agile thinkers. (That's pretty much all of us!)
For example, Agile mantras like "It's not a problem until it's a problem" are tough to accept for people who haven't seen it work. They need to be convinced everything will be OK. A lot of first-time entrepreneurs don't want to launch until they have "all their ducks in a row" rather than launching a minimal product that tests their core assumption, gets them noticed by customers and puts them in front of market feedback faster.
Is it just a matter of attitude? When we encounter people who aren't Agile thinkers, whether it's new entrepreneurs, clients or potential customers, is there a way we can help them see Agile's benefits?
Let's discuss how we deal with these problems, and help Agile first-timers wrap their head around it.
