Finally, "Business Agility" refers to the "Ability of a Business System to rapidly respond to Change by adapting its Initial Stable Configuration". It can be Sustained by maintaining and adapting Goods and Services in meeting Customer Demands, adjusting to the Changes in a Business Environment, and taking Advantage of Available Human Eesources... Agile Development has largely become Synonymous with Digitization : Senior Business Leaders have realized that their Companies cannot take Full Advantage of Digital Tools and Technologies without having New, Amped-Up Processes for managing them. The Value of these Processes is Immense.

Agile Development cannot be a Priority Solely for the Technology Organization. Senior Business Executives must include it on their Agendas as well, thereby signaling the Importance of making the required Technology and Cultural Changes. The Top Team´s Attention will make it Clear that Software Development is a Joint Process. It entails Frequent Interactions between Business and IT Groups, and it requires Widespread Acceptance of a Test-And-Learn Approach....
