Going Agile: The Elevator Pitch

What we are trying to achieve is to change the way IT interfaces with business. Instead of business trying to work out ahead of time all the details they want, the business collaborates with IT to work out what the requirements are.

This is further broken down into time, with development continuously delivering functionality. The business doesn't need to have every detail set out ahead of time, but just enough of an understanding of the features that development can take place.

The advantage of this is that development becomes a feedback loop, where features can be gradually introduced, changed, enhanced and even removed based on business requirements. In short, it allows business to concentrate on what is needed, and for IT to respond to these needs as they arise.
