Abstract
We consider it worthwhile to spend a little bit of time explaining to the reader how the concepts of Agile and SCRUM can be applied in Innovation Scorecard measurement environments. Where do these concepts emanate from? The idea of ‘agile business’ (doing things fast and dexterous) was developed in 2001 by a group of like-minded business professionals, in a totally relaxing environment, united to create an alternative to the less flexible ‘waterfall model’ (cascading) in, use at that time, in software development. This model was not able to respond quickly to changes and constant changing requirements often driven by customer needs, business needs, or both. This group created a document known as the ‘agile manifest’. This manifest contained what they considered to be the most important principles that needed to be in place to make this approach work in all kinds of business environments.
