Way of thinking 思维方式

Maintenance维护

Attitude态度

Approach方法

In the first two articles of the series ‘Agility in the Nutshell’, I presented agile values and principles. This article is about an Agile Mindset.
在 “敏捷概述”系列的前两篇文章中,我们介绍了敏捷的价值观和原则。下面这篇文章是讨论敏捷思维模式的。

By mindset, we mean ways of thinking, attitudes and approaches to problems. Agile mindset means changing the classical patterns of thinking about cooperation and leadership. It is explicitly not about introducing Agile methods while maintaining the old organizational structure.
我们所说的思维模式,是指思维方式、态度和处理问题的方法。敏捷思维意味着改变关于合作和领导的传统思维模式。它显然不是在保持旧的组织结构的同时引入敏捷方法。

Agile mindset encompasses the life of agile principles as an everyday routine and self-image rather than as ‘prescribed behaviour’. This usually does not happen overnight but requires manages to reflect and question their behaviour again and again. The agile mindset needs time to grow.
敏捷思维包含了将敏捷原则作为日常工作和自我形象的生活方式,而不是作为 “规定行为”。这通常不是一朝一夕的事,而是需要管理者反复反思和质疑自己的行为。敏捷思维需要时间来培养。

Agile mindset means being flexible and adapting to the current conditions as quickly as possible. It also means to be willing to learn and to shape one’s actions in small iterative loops and to draw conclusions from the respective experiences frequently.
敏捷思维意味着要灵活,尽快适应当前条件。它还意味着愿意学习,在小的迭代循环中塑造自己的行动,并经常从各自的经验中总结收获。

Having an agile mindset means focusing on meeting the needs of the customer. It is about building trust in the team and strengthening the ability to cooperate within the group. For managers, it is essential to fill their role in such a way that they create a framework that allows the team to work well.
拥有敏捷的思维方式意味着专注于满足客户的需求。它是指在团队中建立信任,加强团体内部的合作能力。对于管理者来说,创造一个框架,使团队能够良好地工作,这是他们履行管理者角色的重要方式。

Iterative processes ensure that we can react quickly to changes. In this context, having an agile mindset means seeing change as something completely normal, and not resisting it, but seeing it as an opportunity to learn, as an incentive for further development. Working with flashbacks to reflect on the result, process and one’s behaviour allows you to fail quickly ‘fail fast’ and at the same time to learn a lot and to continuously develop yourself, the team, the way of working and the relationships within the group.
迭代过程确保我们能够对变化做出快速反应。在这种情况下,拥有敏捷的思维方式意味着我们要把变化看作是完全正常的事情,不抵制它,把它看作是学习的机会,是进一步发展的动力。通过回顾的方式来反思结果、过程和自己的行为,可以让你 快速失败”,同时学到很多东西,不断发展自己、团队、工作方式和团体内部的关系。

Agile working puts producing a result before lengthy planning. We experience this topic again and again as a big hurdle because especially the subject of planning is mostly classically hierarchical. At the organizational level, it is usually a far cry from classic planning and is usually a rolling, short-term planning process.
敏捷工作把产出结果放在冗长的计划之前。我们一次又一次把这个话题当作一个很大的障碍,因为特别是计划的话题大多是要经过传统的层级架构。在组织层面,敏捷的工作方式通常与传统的计划相去甚远,通常是一个滚动的、短期的计划过程。

If you want to deal with agility. We recommend as a first step to shedding light on what it takes to reflect on your ability to cooperate and to acquire skills to work with others. We consider this to be the first and decisive step towards being able to work successfully in an agile context in the future. Coaching and training are proven methods to make the first step towards an agile mindset.
如果你想处理好敏捷性问题,我们建议,第一步,要思考自己的合作能力,以及如何获得与他人合作的技能。我们认为这是迈向未来能够在敏捷环境下成功工作的第一步,也是决定性的一步。教练和培训是行之有效的方法,可以使你向敏捷思维迈出第一步。
