Why Government Leaders Must Embrace Agile Agile is a pathway to innovation in many Government agencies. It is a response to challenges in Information Technology where traditional software development processes often did not yield expected results. This resulted in many projects exceeding budgets and timelines, and ignoring needed requirement changes. At its core, Agile is about priorities, placing individuals and interactions above processes and tools; working products above comprehensive documentation; customer collaboration above contract negotiation; and responding to change above following a plan. Leaders can embrace this approach to improve processing times, and coordination among development teams and users. This presentation provides practical steps on how leaders can better understand and support the innovation practices introduced by Agile.
