The session talks through the development of a business based Agile model to introduce agile culture, strategy, project management and tools to High Growth SMEs as a way of managing growth and change in any business sector and environment.
In software development agile is used to manage scope creep and similarly, in high growth businesses their growth is their scope creep. HG businesses need to manage this scope creep effectively in order to continue to manage its impact on the business and its people
The session includes case studies from established geology, film production and PR businesses, an innovative fashion start up and software business that are using agile more widely at a strategic level of their business.
