How will I know if Agile is right for my Projects or Career?

The best way to determine if your business or upcoming projects will benefit from the use of an agile approach is to examine the characteristics of agile.

Adaptable

Agile is flexible and responsive, making it perfect for projects where the requirements are likely to change, or even if the requirements are difficult to define.

Value-Driven

It’s also an excellent choice if delivering value early and throughout the project is something that sits high on your priority lists.

Team-Focused

Agile and Scrum are team-driven, encouraging a high level of team engagement, and clearly defining roles and responsibilities within the project.
