What Makes Agile Powerful to Boost Innovation for the Larger Organizations

Abstract

This paper has established that agile methodologies have become one of the most effective means of fostering innovation in large businesses especially in responding to changes within the market and satisfying the needs of the customers. This article seeks to highlight the benefits of adopting agility since it will help organizations to improve their performance by creating an environment that encourages flexibility and collaboration in the aim of trying different approaches to find ways of accomplishing the given goals. Iterative development, cross functional teams and rapid prototyping are some of the factors adopted in big businesses to increase the speed of innovation and also for optimizing the time for market launch along with receiving feedbacks on the innovations. The article addresses the issues that can become barriers to implementing agile in large organisations consisting of extensive and complicated systems, strict frameworks, and managers’ reluctance, and describes how these problems can be solved. If strategic decision-making is delegated and teams are fostered to its maximum extent, it is possible to unleash all the underlying value of the agile approach. Large enterprises are also examined how they have implemented and illustrated the use of Agile and how it results in radical changes to the product development and customer value proposition. The findings are intended to assist large organisations in solving problems and implementing agile frameworks appropriately. Therefore, this paper sought to explore how through embracing agility big organizations can continue to compete, foster creativity and manage the dynamic business environment.
