Instead of power trickling down from the top, Agile recognizes that the future of a firm depends on inspiring those doing the work to accelerate innovation - and add genuine value to customers.

It recognizes that enhancing the capacity of those doing the work depends on giving autonomy to self-organizing teams, within broad parameters of control.

It realizes that the key to success is not to do more work faster. The key is to be smarter by generating more value from less work and delivering it sooner.
