Agile management is a project management system born from software development to accommodate the rapid-fire frequency of technological change and customer requirements. While there are two major systems recognized under Agile project management, at its core, Agile is simply the notion that targets move and move often. Therefore, instead of beavering relentlessly on a set target, the journey begins with a view to the horizon. The most effective distance may not be a straight line, but a flexible framework that bends. Moreover, Agile management works across organizations, to permit intra-organizational teams to row at the same rhythm.

 

Because "software is eating" entire industries (Marc Andressen, founder of Netscape), the same process of digitizing goods and services is now eating its way through entire skill sets and disciplines. Just as products such as books, have become completely digital, there is very little standing in the way of AI actually writing the stories we read. We may be at the precipice of a world which functions quite differently. For example, the cameras in regular cell phones, not to mention more powerful surveillance cameras, are sensitive enough to detect a person's heart rate and the refractive properties of a person's skin.  As such, software applied to surveillance camera data could signal, for example, who is usually anxious in a crowd or who is suffering dehydration. Skills in areas as diverse as medical diagnosis and criminology might soon be happening to us and all around us at all times.  

 

Because software is, therefore, executing the competence, those project management systems used to create software are now required to best create today's products and services.
