They allow us to adapt to the changes that internal or external situations present very quickly.The speed of change makes it possible to be more competitive and strengthen the company’s position in the market.

In Agile Methodologies keeping people motivated is very important. To do this, suitable working environments are suggested, so that everyone feels supported. In this way, they aim to improve results.This focus on each resource encourages responsibility, increases autonomy, and fosters transparency. In addition, by working collaboratively, good communication, participation, and working towards a common goal are encouraged.

Agile Methodologies have the benefit of potentially reducing failures in our work. By having continuous reviews within the process, it is possible to quickly identify any errors and learn from them in real time to improve and not make the same mistake again. Work becomes more efficient and surprises are avoided.

When working in large groups, Agile Methodologies are of great
help in making quick decisions, avoiding hierarchies, remaining operational, and always aiming to maximize results.

By having fast and valuable feedback as part of their communication model, Agile Methodologies ensure that the customer gets quick answers and/or solutions. The client ends up being part of the team.

By being in constant contact with the client, it is possible to get to know them better, to understand what they want and how they want it to be done. This prevents surprises when delivering results, since changes are made throughout the process as part of the communicational back and forth proposed as part of Agile Methodologies.
