Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development. It enables teams to deliver work in small increments instead of a big launch. Requirements, plans and deliverables are evaluated on a continuous basis, so that teams can respond to change easily.
Widely adopted by top organizations across the globe, Agile is a methodology that has proven to be highly effective to transform businesses, catalyze innovation, and accelerate profitable growth.
Scrum stands out as the most dominant Agile framework with a 58% adoption rate across organizations globally. It challenges the notion of the top-down approach to project management and focuses on a software development life cycle based on an incremental and iterative approach. Products are built in short sprints and the focus is on maximising performance and quality.
