Agile Guide

What do you think of when you hear the word “Agile?” Words such as “flexible” and “adaptable” probably spring to mind. It’s true — Agile teams are designed to pivot quickly and adapt to change without much difficulty. That’s why Agile methodologies have become such a popular way of working for project managers.

Over the past two decades, many companies have realized that some traditional approaches just don’t cut it in the modern world. As Forbes put it, “firms have to be nimble, adaptable, able to adjust on the fly to meet the shifting whims of a marketplace driven by the customer.” While a linear Waterfall methodology might have worked in the past, it makes sense that many are now making the switch to Agile.

And it’s not just tech giants that favor this flexible approach — companies across other sectors are realizing the benefits, with manufacturing brands Lego and John Deere opting to integrate Agile best practices into their development teams.
