The COVID-19 pandemic and other recent events have increased the need for the legal industry to adapt quickly to remain competitive in an ever-changing business and legal climate. An agile transformation will shift an organization towards embracing an innovative approach to transparency, shared ownership, accountability and consistent improvement. In addition, legal technology organizations can benefit from building their own culture with the adoption of agile values and principles while tailoring technical practices to improve the collaboration of technology teams, business groups, and end-users.

What is an Agile Approach to Product Development?

An agile approach to product delivery is based on a set statement of values, principles, and practices for iterative and incremental delivery of value. It enables a deeper conversation between the business and technology teams that ultimately will benefit the end-user because it is guided by their needs and preferences obtained through constant feedback. By going through an agile transformation, technology and business teams can change the mindset and culture of an organization so that team members embrace new ways of working and achieve greater collaboration and trust.
