Agile Project Management & Product Strategy - A Case Study - Conclusion (#4 in the series Agile Project Management and Product Strategy - A Case Study)
By Eric D. Brown

After releasing version 1.0 and capturing $3.5 million in revenue, the company was able to attract quite a bit of interest from investors and potential buyers. They ended up being gobbled up by a much larger competitor for quite a bit of money (many times multiple earnings). I’d like to say it was all my doing…but it wasn’t… I just helped them to see a new way of looking at the development process.

Using agile methods allowed us to deliver real value to our clients and to our company by create a product in half the time. We were able to deliver $3.5 million in revenue because we focused on the needs of our clients and delivered those features that they thought were the most valuable.

That is what Agile Project Management is all about. Delivering value to clients.
