Disciplined Agile (DA) describes four views that provide a comprehensive understanding of how to apply Agile and Lean strategies across an organization. One of these views is theMindset.

TheMindsetview refers to the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that are foundational to successful agile practices within an organization. DA Mindset includes principles, promises, and guidelines that help teams understand how to make agile approaches work effectively in their specificcontext. It encompasses core values such as delighting customers, being pragmatic, and optimizing flow across the entire value stream, as well as fostering a culture of learning and adapting.

By focusing on theMindsetview, DA ensures that everyone in the organization—from team members to senior leaders—aligns with these shared principles and values, which is crucial for achieving sustainable agility and continuous improvement.

The other views in DA are thePeopleview (understanding roles and responsibilities), theFlowview (focusing on end-to-end value delivery), and thePracticesview (choosing appropriate agile practices and processes).
