Agile is the ability to respond to change while controlling risk. It is a way of dealing with and succeeding in an uncertain and changing environment. It is about understanding what is happening in your environment and adapting as you proceed.
Agile has emerged as a huge global movement. It enables organisations to succeed in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. The rate of change has accelerated dramatically over the past 25 years, and all indicators point to this trend continuing. Today’s “fast enough” will likely not be fast enough in future. To remain competitive, organisations need a process that can help them keep up with this accelerating rate of change.
