Work was organized into Program Increments (PIs) and sprints, allowing incremental delivery, continuous feedback, and quicker adaptation to market changes.
Employees participated in Agile training, certifications, and retrospectives, fostering skill development and continuous improvement. This empowered teams to deliver better results.
