Today's Wednesday Wisdom is brought to you by Kofi Blankson consultant for Agility for All.   Do you have a question? Be sure to post it in the comments. 

 Today's question for Wednesday Wisdom is "how do I get started with my agile journey?" This is a question we get 60% of the time, especially from people who are hearing about Agile and its amazing benefit for the very first time. For someone who's practiced for a while, my take is there's no standard approach, but I recommend you go with the following.

Firstly, decide to be agile which is the mindset to deliver value from a customer perspective. Secondly, you can set up an agile team and appoint a champion. Once you've done this, you can settle on one project and experiment with it. There's no need to go with two or more projects at the same time. Start with one.

Then you can adopt a particular framework, and my recommendation is to go with Scrum at this time. Sign up for any of the Agile courses or training. It could be the Scrum Master of Product Owner training. This will help give you a deeper understanding of the different principles, the terminologies, and sets you on a path of self discovery for a role that you may want to apply for in the future.

Last but not the least. You want to sign up to a community of practice or find a mentor or coach who will support your growth. Getting started is a journey and not a sprint, but with determination and commitment you will get it right. 

 And that is today's Wednesday wisdom. Don't forget if you have a question post it in the comments. Tune in next week for our next segment.
