Benefits of Using Agile

1. Customer Involvement

Agile focuses on building small increments and gathering customer feedback at each stage.

Example: If building a car, instead of delivering the whole car at once, you show individual parts (e.g., hood, bumper) to the customer for feedback.

2. Continuous Interaction

Agile promotes constant communication not just with customers but also with the product owner and senior management.

3. Constant Feedback

Ensures that all stakeholders are involved throughout the project, reducing risks of misunderstandings and misalignment.

Traditional project issue: Lack of feedback led to isolated work periods, causing miscommunication.

4. Greater Value Upfront

Instead of waiting till the end, Agile delivers incremental value throughout the project.

Example: Instead of spending two years building a product, Agile ensures that usable features are delivered periodically.

5. Change is Welcome

Stakeholders' suggestions and changes are encouraged and welcomed.

Example: If a customer suggests a change, an Agile team responds positively instead of imposing rigid processes.

6. Agile Mindset

Success in Agile depends on having the right mindset—welcoming feedback, collaboration, and adaptability.
