Making a business case for agile starts by understanding what agile is about and considering how agile can help you. You have to define your own metrics and track them to see if agile is bringing you business value, and reflect on your agile journey to learn, and adopt.

Your mileage may vary

Over the years I’ve heard many managers wanting data that shows the business value of agile as a whole. They look for things like:

  • Agile is xx% cheaper
  • Agile makes you yy times faster
