Every project carries risk — but how you manage it can mean the difference between momentum and mayhem. As organizations face mounting pressure to deliver value quickly and adapt on the fly, many are turning to Agile: a flexible, fast-paced approach that breaks work into short, iterative cycles. Born in the software world in 2001, Agile has since become a go-to methodology across industries, from manufacturing to marketing.
Agile teams can rapidly deliver projects or features, especially when compared to the traditional “waterfall” approach: siloed departments working toward long-term goals from a top-down plan. But as Agile methodology matures, businesses need to adapt risk-management practices to suit.
