Competition is increasing, customer requirements are changing, customer demands are increasing, with such a fast-paced-ever-changing world, comes new challenges. This is the crux of the advent of new methodology – Agile. Various research bodies such as Gartner, Forrester, Kennedy etc., predict that Agile methodology will be the next disruption. Though it is true that we increasingly associate the word, Agile, to Information Technology (IT) industry because of the latest trends in technological advancement (Social, Cloud, Analytics, Mobility), one common myth is that Agile methodology is applicable to IT world alone.

Agile is finding its root deep in varied industries such as construction, product development, electrical, etc.
