What is Agile and why knowledge workers use
it?

For any Knowledge workers (software engineers, doctors, lawyers, accountants

etc..) there are two important components they emphasize on:

1.Process
2.Quality

Since knowledge work is less structured and invisible, we as knowledge

workers continuously learn, innovate and emphasize on changing things. This
is when we adapt a process called Agile.

Agile is a process that is iterative and incremental where small sections are
completed
for frequent inspections and adaptability.

Lea
n Lean Product Development

The entire reasons why projects prefer to implement Agile is to reduce waste. The main idea of Lean is to reduce waste.

7 Principles of Lean Core Concepts:

1. Eliminate Waste: Lean ideology is to eliminate waste. Any value that does not either add or benefit customer product is
considered as waste. Lets consider adding extra features to the product beyond requested by customer is waste of time, resources
that could be useful on some other projects and budget.

There are Seven wastes of

Lean: 1.1.Partially done work
2.2.Extra processes
3.3.Extra features
4.4.Task
switching
5.5.Waiting
6.6.Motion
7.7.Defects

2. Amplify Learning: For knowledge workers not just limited to people in the area of technology, a medical practitioner or a
teacher should continuously upgrade their skills. Keep themselves abreast with new dimensions in their required fields. The best
way is to communicate and getting| feedback
