About Agile Agile - Why Agile?
User experience of agile project: I have never known a project to develop at such a rate."
Delivering real value to your business
Agile project management has developed in response to the widely experienced difficulties with the traditional "waterfall" project management approach where requirements are supposed to be completely defined before design, followed by implementation and finally testing. Agile instead manages via:
- Iterative, incremental process, via 2-4 week "sprints"
- Incremental analysis, prioritisation and planning
- Collaborative team organisation
- Quality built in from the start
- Governance that focuses on business value
An Agile approach provides a range of benefits:
- Validating and providing feedback throughout the project
- Incorporating change as the project progresses
- De-risking the project: implementing by priority; offering more options if the project is under pressure
- Early delivery, quicker ROI, early completion
And more:
- Clear visibility of progress
- High quality
- Reduced lead time on starting development
- Focus on business benefit
- Focus on simplicity; addressing today's problem

WHAT WE'RE SAYING
IndigoBlue has a long held view that incremental delivery, and the supporting incremental strategy, is core to the success of Agile management. This tenet is the basis for our governance framework and our approach to managing Agile at scale. Last week I was presented with an illustration of this in the shape of one of our customers that has recently piloted the use of Agile in their office in the States.
