The entity named ‘Agile’ took shape in 2001 providing an umbrella to a lot of frameworks and practises or systems which were based on an iterative approach of software development. When Agile was founded in 2001 by 17 thought leaders they framed 4 values and 12 principles. The widely used framework such as Scrum was founded in the year 1995, and XP in 1997. When Agile is implemented in organisations the base values and the principles of Agile are usually given less importance and more for framework practices and events like Scrum, Kanban and XP. Here is a research which attempts to showcase an approach that talks about platform agnostic agile transformation keeping the principles and values of Agile at the core.This paper also suggests that Lean is the mother of agile. Finally, this paper talks about the kind of questions team leaders and business partners/ product owners should seek to ask to keep a tap on valuable outcomes over output/speed/ ensuring agility is being practiced to its core purpose.
