Overview

What began as an approach to manage individual software projects, agile has blossomed into a powerful group of principles and practices that any organization can use to stay successful in an ever-evolving business environment. This article from Rick Freedman, author of The Agile Consultant, explains how agile’s approach to project development ends up touching your entire organization, not just software development. You’ll learn how agile can help you increase team productivity, improve your ability to handle changing priorities, and transform your business to be more responsive in the digital age.
