Today – more than ever – rapid, agile development, continuous adaption and improvement are crucial to business success.
This is the era of quick and continuous change across all major human endeavours. The companies that are winning in this new era are those that can respond to change with agility—not by resisting it, but by harnessing its forces to rally and augment their own.
Agile organizational approach and mindset are defined by the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto, often practiced through frameworks like Scrum, XP, Lean, Kanban, DevOps, etc.
