Agile is more than team based process

Agile is more than process

Agile changes the way you work

Agile aligns the organisation around its purpose, empowers staff to master excellence and gives you the space to do your job.

Agile is based upon human values

Honesty, Trust, Courage, Respect, and Service

Agile gives competitive advantage

Agile is here to stay
