The agile approach to software development and project management has gained tremendous popularity in almost every industry in our society. Partly thanks to the flexibility and the emphasis on transparency and the delivery of working products (software) that are delivered in short iterations (sprints).
Given the demand for speed and agility in today's digital transition, agile stands out as a people- and collaboration-oriented approach that helps professionals, teams and organizations achieve results faster and with pleasure. It is precisely this focus on ownership that increases the self-reliance of teams, which strengthens agility. We call that a YOWYO mindset.
Agile project management is increasingly the methodology by which projects are done. Agile working, agile knowledge and skills are therefore of continued importance for everyone who wants to be successful in the labor market.
