Agile development practices, when performed correctly, are lightweight and inexpensive, avoid wasted cycles, and ensure that just the right features are built. On a regular cadence, agile teams deliver high-quality working software that is responsive to current customer needs. Teams familiar with agile planning that have the right supportive tools feel at ease, gain project visibility, and get empowered. The result: delighted and loyal users, team recognition, and, most important, revenue.
