What are agile methods?

This is an abstract.

Agile methods help to become more responsive and shorten lead times. There are many agile methods (frameworks). A common denominator is the connection to Lean.

Every organization needs an individual solution

There is no "One Size Fits All" approach but each team, each program and each organization needs individual solutions and a method and techniques suitable for it.

Methods that are just frequently mentioned in this context are:

Scrum

Scrum is an innovative framework that brings together the core elements of good teamwork. Scrum is particularly suitable for developing solutions to complex problems. Scrum is often used to manage projects.

Kanban

Kanban is a framework from the Lean toolbox to get work flowing along the value chain - from the genesis of an idea to delivery.

LeSS

Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) provides a consistent agile solution to work with multiple tightly coupled Scrum teams together on a joint product.

SAFe

The Scaled Agile Framework - SAFe - is a scalable and configurable framework that enables lean & agile work with multiple teams or across the entire organization. The coupling of the teams is less tight.

Design Thinking

Design thinking is a creative process for new ideas. Agile teams use this method to trigger innovations, develop new ideas and solve problems. The results are solutions that really inspire customers.
