Abstract. Starting from software development, Agile approaches are spreading across a broad range of industries and functions, with many great challenges. Mindset, as one of the crucial human factors of individuals in Agile, influences people's decision-making and affects every aspect of behavior and action. However, many organizations and teams face big challenges in achieving an Agile Mindset of their individuals. In addition to an often-unclear understanding of the Agile Mindset, success factors and indications are largely unknown, which makes it extremely difficult to establish an Agile Mindset. Motivated by this, our study aims to conduct a literature review by answering comprehensive research questions related to the Agile Mindset regarding publication demographics, importance, definitions, characteristics, elements, critical success factors, indicators of Agile Mindset, activities for development and future directions of research.
