Agile way of working
We are uncovering better ways of launching, operating startups & small businesses by doing it and helping others do it.
Agile is no longer just a way to develop software, it is a way of thinking and getting work done. Small businesses can benefit from adopting the agile mindset since it was developed for small teams. Agile allows small businesses to deliver continuous and incremental value to customers and also provides the ability to respond to disruption and change in their market or industry.

Agile Values
We are uncovering better ways of working by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Doing work over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. |
The Agile Way
Agile is an iterative approach to working. It is identifying value, determining the quickest path to market and continuous improvement. Agile requires a Growth Mindset, Lean thinking and viewing work from a value driven mindset vs a plan driven mindset. The agile mindset allows for effective use of agile methodologies & tools. Agile methodologies & tools actualize agile mindset. Benefits of Business Agility - The benefits of Agile are better quality, improved customer satisfaction, better control, reduced risks and the ability to pivot and change quickly to respond to changing market conditions. A 2020 report showed that 60% of companies that adopted agile saw an increase in profits while a 2020 McKinsey & Co report showed that 93% of organizations that fully adopted Agile before the Covid-19 Crisis outperformed those who did not.
