CIO OPINION
The gains driven by the agile methodology can be countless . In times like ours , where every minute counts , having recurring responses and deliveries is something that cannot be ignored . It is not by chance that research carried out by MIT teams indicates that the use of these methods has grown at a rate above 30 % since 2017 in large Latin American companies . In markets such as the United States and Europe , it is estimated that more than 70 % of companies already use this type of approach .
More and more companies want to use agile methods . But why ? To understand the reason for this movement , just look at the numbers of businesses that were already using Agile before the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to their traditional competitors . McKinsey reports point out that agile organizations had results up to six times greater than corporations that had not adopted the use of actions such as squads , scrums and sprints , among others .
They had this benefit because they were able to perceive changes more quickly and because they were also able to respond to changes with the speed that traditional operations cannot . They were able to check the information and change routes before the others . But does this indicate that Agile Transformation means that companies don ’ t need to digitize their processes and operations ? Absolutely .
The point here is precisely to show that digitalization and Agile are parallel paths and that they can , mutually , assist in the evolution journey of companies .
Digital Transformation is a facilitator for generating business , regardless of the model adopted .
