In the ever-evolving, advancing world of application software development, it has become more and more important for a technology company to be successful in adopting the right practices and methods that will allow them to drive a business that values team-building exercises, iterative methods of project management, and most of all, their customer needs. These practical ways of effective approaches to building software are carefully regimented by applying principles, values, and methods during the implementation stages of a complex project. This is where we can begin to understand that building a software product, that is robust requires careful iterative planning, where requirements and solutions can evolve through documentation and effective communication amongst team members. We then start to realise the invaluable importance of the use of software methodologies that is reliant upon delivering high valued increments of a software product and the adoption of agile methods or processes requiring discipline and a thorough understanding of how to apply these in our business, and to all the exciting projects we undertake each sprint. We're an agile company, it is imperative for us all to be equipped and disciplined in making agile work and fit rightly within our culture and values as a team.

First, we must really understand how to do agile and know what it is. Agile is a software methodology with a framework called Scrum.

Scrum isn't solely about project management as some of you would have known or imagined; it is a process framework, a software engineering practice that promotes and encourages self-organised teamwork and methods and practices for project management that isn't only intended to rapidly deliver high-quality software.

Agile is an approach that connects and allows an agile company to align with their goal and customer needs.

Being agile means we continually employ and adapt its processes and modularised concepts that takes value in user experience, and further enhance and promote a harmonious relationship in our team.

It is worth knowing that the goal of agile is aligned with the concepts of the Agile Manifesto. You can read more about it here.

We are an agile company. That means our goal should be aligned with our customers' needs, and we have a duty to adhere to our cause by the successful adoption of Scrum.
