Far from being reserved for developers alone, the Agile method can be used in a wide variety of fields. Based on the Agile Manifesto (2001), this method is ideal for marketing and project management, for example.

The principles of the Agile method focus on :

• Individuals and their interactions, tools and processes;
• To functional software rather than exhaustive documentation;
• To exchanges with customers rather than contractual negotiation;
• The ability to adapt to change rather than to the implementation of a plan.

In concrete terms, the implementation of the Agile method is based on 12 fundamental principles, including :

• Customer focus and satisfaction through regular delivery of high value-added features;
• Regular collaboration between users and developers throughout the project;
• Maximum reduction of unnecessary work ;
• Regular feedback on work done and areas for improvement.

An interim manager finds his or her place in a scrum project. He or she works on precisely defined, time-limited projects that are easy to break down into their various stages. As a resource from outside the company, the interim manager has the necessary hindsight to determine the different sprints, put in place the necessary measurement tools and set precise objectives for his or her team at each stage.
