An Agile mindset provides flexibility in how you deliver the product. But, Agile frameworks are designed to be inflexible (this is a good thing)
For example, Scrum has very little process. There is not much required, but the pieces that are required should be written in stone (at least until a team has worked with the process for a considerable length of time and can measure the impact of changes to the process)
Scrum Process:
3 roles
5 events
3 artifacts
There should not be agility in the roles, meetings, and time constraints
In many organizations it is still common for one person to take on the role of both product owner and scrum master. In a sense, they are creating a role that doesn’t exist in the scrum process
Flexible process ≠ Agile Mindset | Flexibility in the process can actually make things quite difficult for your team
Refining ≠ Reinventing | You shouldn’t start pulling out all the wires before you’ve gotten everything to work
Try to convince your team to run frameworks as they were intended. If you run Scrum incorrectly from the start, then it is very hard to see how things are supposed to work.
Scrum is designed to make your process transparent. If you add time to one event, you should be able to see the effect on the team’s productivity.
