Why Agile Sprints?
The Agile Sprint is an approach to creating and
improving user experience and product design,
placing the business, technology and
(especially) the user in the spotlight.
They benefit the business in several ways:
1. It allows for and encourages change
throughout the project - no nasty surprises
2. The outcome is approved by the customer
before the big launch day, keeping everyone
sure of themselves
3. Internally the business benefits from
increased revenue (USPs are recognized
early on and made the most of), a faster
speed to market, control of costs due to
only the “right” features being pursued
and more
