For decades, business leaders have been painfully aware of the huge chasm between their aspiration for a nimble, flexible enterprise and the [[reality of silos, sluggishness, and frustrated innovation. Today, Agile is being hailed as the essential bridge across that chasm. Agile, say its enthusiasts, can transform your company, catapulting you to the head of the pack.

- QUOTE: ... In the core of Agile project management lies the word "agility", which means "mobility, nimbleness", as well as from the Latin agere: "keep in movement". This signifies the ability to move something forward in a quick way that allows easy changes of direction.
So, in terms of project management, "agility" has five essential attributes that form the building blocks of the Agile process. Those are:
- Transparency.
- Customer focus.
- Adaptability.
- Sense of Ownership (Effective Leadership)
- Continuous Improvement
