How is Agile valuable in organizations?
Agile implemented in an organization helps in adapting to changing business needs.
This gives the organization more flexibility to add, change or remove requirements. It
also results in incremental delivery and reduces product and process waste. Agile offers
high visibility and control over the project progress thereby enabling early detection of
problems. Also the early and continuous customer feedback improves communication
and empowers business owners to review critical information. Agile also leads to early
measureable return on investment (ROI).
