Combining the concepts of agile project management, risk, and artificial intelligence can help organizations achieve improved efficiency and effectiveness. By Dr. Heidrich Vicci

Description: In project management and software development, agile brings value to customers more quickly and with fewer difficulties. Agile teams avoid taking risks with a big launch by delivering work in small, consumable chunks. A key concept of agile is that development is an iterative process, and products must be continuously improved. Adaptability - Agile principles can be applied in a wide range of situations. The role of artificial intelligence in your organization can be determined by the kind of agile AI practice you develop.
