    WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT ENTERPRISE AGILE?

    Enterprise Agile is the only methodology aligning Agile software delivery processes with the typical challenges faced by larger organisations that is backed by decades of real-world experience. When research from the Standish Group suggests 23% of large Agile projects fail, Enterprise Agile offers practical guidance based on a true understanding of how to make enterprise-level Agile project management overcome these hurdles and deliver results.

    Enterprise Agile is based on 30 years’ experience in delivering and supporting business critical systems in some of the most demanding public and private sector environments. And we constantly evolve the Enterprise Agile project management methodology to keep it relevant as changing global pressures and technologies redefine the way organisations operate. This updated edition of Enterprise Agile includes a new chapter about how enterprise-level organisations can drive value through data-led programmes.
