What Agile Business Management Addresses By Willson Marks

Agile business management looks at how an individual or an organization adapts to its environment to deliver top performance in a given amount of time. The baseline of this theory expects that each organization or individual is engaged in several projects simultaneously in an organization or in collaboration with another organization.

Moreover, each project is interconnected with various other projects in some way that derives the total proposed value. Defined upon these assumptions, a management tool is mandatory to help organization adapt to the constraints and facilitate an organized way of recognizing the business' value.

The business environment today is much more complex, challenging and competitive. Everyone should know whether they wish to be an integrator or an expert. As a result, projects are separated into different parts and are consequently managed by a group of people. Moreover, many projects require hiring highly skilled individuals which adds another hierarchy of complexity.

Looking at the division of projects in an organization, the two major issues that need to be addressed are:

1. How can an employee in an intense work environment with many projects that are incorporated with other projects be able to program his/her own work duties?

2. How can a business owner, project manager, or coordinator manage his/her own projects or other parts of projects?

Both the above mentioned issues are addressed to ensure the delivery of top quality work and sufficient employee engagement in a continuously changing environment. All organizations and individuals, that are a part of this extremely complex system need a process to manage its tasks and offer their clients the following support:

- Cost estimate and time planning

- Flexible work planning

- Controlling

In order to devise the best possible solution, organizations/ individuals should be organized and adapt their tasks as per the continuously changing environment. The primary idea of agile business management is based upon the assumption of well organized structure that is in conformity with the present business environment. Implementing this will also ensure better employee engagement in the organization.

1. Remuneration and trust

One needs to create trust for easy access of knowledge.

2. Social engagement

Based upon the fundamental assumptions of trust, the organization should be connected to its environment. This is important for further growth of an organization, projects and employees.

3. Optimization

To help the system develop in the long run, an organization requires optimization. This phase is significant in optimizing the entire entity and the delivery of values.

4. Coordination and forecasting

This phase is responsible for the coordination of the network of connected projects and forecast of the availability of those behind.

5. Task completion

In this phase, the panel is responsible for acknowledging the results for the sprint. Each team member has a predefined calendar that shows available time period and the tasks list for individuals.
