6 Reasons you should Adopt Agile Project Management NOW

by Jay D. Project Management Software

There is a lot of buzz around agile project management and its adoption. Companies are practically in a rat-race to present themselves as an “agile mascot” of sorts.

Sure, there are lots of proven and anticipated benefits that make a strong case for its adoption.

Agile is more than just a framework or a project management methodology. It has to do more with the company’s culture, its vision and its people.

You cannot use agile as a wrapper to cover all things waterfall!

Based on our experience with the work we have been doing to help our customers implement the agile methodology we have come across quite a few advantages that make a fair case.

Let us review some of them in the interest of making you take that leap of faith!

Fail Fast, Succeed Faster

The iterative and modular approach offered by the agile scrum is a great way to test those great ideas. E.g. a new feature or product, service, redesigning existing product, strategic initiative etc.

Sprints or iterations are your rapid fire rounds to check how an idea would turn out during an actual implementation, would it be a market fit, something your customers would love or how successful it would be overall.

The results help you to course-correct in time, re-strategize or redraw an entirely new plan.

Important thing here is, you do not have to commit significant resources for this. Hence, you save yourself a lot of money, time, efforts and disappointments.

Moreover, the technology climate change is a constant. When you layout plans for a year or more things are bound to change and latest eruptions will prove disruptive.

But being agile will allow you to stay relevant and provide that leeway to shift gears when needed.
