Agile & Small Business Implementations

You may think of Agile implementation and immediately picture a large business working on transformations with large teams. Yes, Agile is a great methodology for large teams, but it is also just as useful in the small business environment. Agile can help small businesses handle large projects and improve their capacity for what they can take on. Imagine your team being able to handle more projects because you have the tools you need to effectively complete all opportunities that come your way. Every business, large or small, can benefit from having improved processes and more efficient employees. 

Often small businesses rely on outside contractors and remote teams or individuals to help handle the demands of projects. This delegation of responsibilities requires better communication skills and tools. When you have better communication, you are able to find solutions and work together to bring projects to completion. It’s important to note your strengths and weaknesses, and how you can grow together as a team. Focus on what talents your team has that are unique and put those unique talents to work. When you do this, you allow employees to own their talents and promote innovative new ideas.

Sometimes smaller businesses use outdated and manual methods to approach projects. For many people, it’s hard to change when your methods worked in the past, even if those methods were not efficient. When you work with a consultant outside your organization, it is easier for them to look at your current processes and evaluate where you can make improvements and see growth. For many companies that may mean integrating new platforms to get the job done faster and without waste! Agile provides you much more efficient ways to accomplish your goals, getting everyone on the same page.

As you can see, Agile is more than just a methodology for large enterprises, it is also a great fit for smaller businesses and teams looking to get ahead and improve their processes.
