Agile development processes are adopted initially in software development environments but many businesses have begun to adopt agile practices because of the benefits they bring. Agile development refers to a set of methodologies, practices, procedures and systems of team structure that allow organizations to adapt to changing customer requirements and respond to competitors quickly while maintaining team morale and effectiveness.
To run an agile business means to be responsive to both client needs as well as providing the environment for teams to quickly pivot and rearrange their priorities in meeting them. One of the most important aspects of an agile process is emphasizing communication among teams and management and constantly focusing on the common goal that is to be achieved. This includes being transparent about any changes or roadblocks encountered on the path to meeting that goal and enabling necessary changes to be made.
