A No-Nonsense Guide to Agile

A No-Nonsense Guide to Agile

Still confused about agile? Not managed to make sense of mindsets and manifestos, sprints and stand-ups? I suspect you're not the only one.

In this article I'm hoping to address that by describing agile in very pragmatic terms. This is intended to be a common sense guide which will explain what the hell agility is all about, and why adopting an agile approach is a strategic choice that will give your organisation a competitive advantage.

Thanks Amanda. Very insightful.
