Organisational Benefits

Improve Quality: By breaking down a project into manageable units, the project team may focus on producing and testing high-quality code.
Go to Market More Quickly & Improve ROI: By utilising Agile Development practices, businesses may free themselves up from being forced to rely on features and deliverables that were proposed months (or even years) ago, and adjust and deploy more quickly based on today’s needs. Additionally, Agile can quickly produce a working version of software, and early deployment of functional parts means that businesses will begin to see real ROI more quickly.
Mitigate Risk, and Quickly: Frequent testing and shorter feedback loops mean that problems may be discovered and addressed more quickly. And functioning code may continue to operate while issues are being resolved in later additions.
More Easily Manage the Project Scope: Agile Development Practices emphasise a list of requirements, with very short development cycles, that evolves as the project progresses. This flexible process results in predictable release dates and manageable budgets, and helps prevent development projects from mushrooming out of control.
Promote Transparency and Improve Decision-Making: Using Agile Development practices, stakeholders have frequent and early opportunities to see and have a say in what is being developed
