Origins of Business Agility and Why Companies Need it

Business agility refers to the ability of a company to quickly adapt and respond to changes in the market and customer demands. In today's fast-paced business environment, companies need to be nimble and flexible to remain competitive and succeed.

Agile practices have become a key factor in achieving business agility, with organizations adopting methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, and Lean. These practices focus on collaboration, continuous improvement, and delivering value to customers as quickly as possible.
