continuous delivery and continual improvement. This approach, derived from well-established agile methodologies, can be applied across all aspects of the team – again, not just software or development focused teams.
The short, iterative cycles ensure constant progress and provides continual measurement,
feedback and learning to determine next priorities and course correction when needed.
4. Best-practice remote working With the use of agile-related collaboration tools, home working can be more efficient. Teams use a Kanban board to visualise work to be done, which is accessible by all and updated daily. Everyone is accountable and there is no need for additional reporting. Simple routines, such as a 10 minute daily check-in, keeps teams connected and focussed.

Similarly, with increased management challenges associated with remote working, agile brings less reliance on traditional hierarchical leadership with self-organising teams and greater accountability reducing the need for prescriptive management.
5. Recognising waste – so to improve productivity Lean hates waste, and lean/agile processes help to identify your value stream (process f low) and eliminate the barriers (waste). With measurement, ref lection,prioritisation of work and working in small increments, you can use data to inform what you do next and continually improve.
We’ve also seen real benefits in building out extended virtual teams that can augment existing in-house capabilities”, adds Louis. “This typically works in one of three ways:
1. Governance and direction - using agency strategy/
planning/data expertise to inform team priorities
2. Cadence/capacity - using agency talent to bolster in-house teams, increasing throughput and speed
3. Specialist skills - utilise agency specialists to plug gaps in existing team capabilities, particularly valuable when permanent full time, in-house staff would be cost prohibitive.
As an agency that was a forerunner of agile product development, our clients are now turning to us to transform their working practices as a whole using our experience, expertise and digital capabilities.
While the pandemic has highlighted more than ever before the need for a business to be able to adapt quickly and significantly, the Agile Transformation movement among large businesses was certainly a trend we were seeing - and a service that we are increasingly asked for.
