1. Going absolutely agile - the challenges in modern development
Product and development managers have a problem. Development projects constantly face the
problem of delivering solutions on time, on content and at the right quality. In fact, up to 40% of
all spending on projects is wasted as a result of re-work* and 60% of software projects fail to
meet the intended schedule**. The good thing is that these problems become more visible in the
agile and lean world. The problem is that they get worse when scaling agile development in the
wrong way!
In the world of agile methods, this situation is common: A company has developed software by
using traditional methods for years. To stay competitive, they have started to use an Agile
method like Scrum or Lean Kanban in a small project. The initial project is successful and they
discover benefits such as higher quality software, shorter development time and increased
customer satisfaction. Now they want to start scaling with larger projects and several teams and
wonder if agile still is the approach to use.
Our answer is simple: absolutely!
