Why Agile methods are so popular?
Agile approaches, have grown exponentially in popularity because they are a logical response to uncertainty. Begin small, don’t plan everything at once, and be prepared for changes. A natural reaction to uncertainty is not to devote all of your resources to a solution that may or may not be the best solution. It is preferable to create a portion of the solution, test it, and get feedback from those affected on how effective it is before deciding which component of the overall solution to deliver next.
Certainty required to plan any initiative in detail at the outset and manage that plan over time is no longer appropriate. It is preferable to start with an idea of the capability you want to achieve while remaining open to how it will become a reality. In this way, it is possible to respond to market shifts and changes, customer and supplier requirements, system innovations, and data use.
