Abstract
The agile approach gives scope for managing work as small consumable teams and enables incremental, value-based developments for quicker customer delivery. The concept of agility is transcribed into support functions of the organization basically into Human Resources (HR) as it is the driver and enabler of agile culture in the organization. This paper is the literature review on agility within the HR department and the HR processes. This paper looked at information available in the blogs, columns and few research papers from industry and HR thought leaders. The concepts, practices and experiments with Agile HRM from industry have been collated and presented based on which a model has been constructed.
