Agile project management

The Agile methodology is a software development approach that emphasizes iterative and incremental development, collaborative teamwork and flexibility. This framework has gained popularity because of its capacity to produce high-quality outcomes in shorter amounts of time and at a lower cost, and it has consequently been successfully employed on non-IT projects as well. Today, companies are faced with shorter time-to-market demands and increasing pressure on innovation: the world has become global, customer-focused and technology-driven. This means companies must be able to quickly adapt and respond to change to deliver value better and faster than its competitors. In this scenario, Agile allows for a variety of benefits, such as faster time to market, increased productivity, fewer defects, cost savings and better employee engagement.
