What is Agile? Why be Agile in your projects?

Based on the proven DSDM Agile Project Framework (AgilePF), the Agile Business Analyst (AgileBA) is crucial to the success and competitiveness of organisations in the rapidlychanging environment working in an Agile way. The Business Analyst is a critical role within an Agile project team.
