How Agile Is Helping Unilever Go Forward Faster (Article Forbes, June 17, 2020)
Unilever's Refreshment division partnered with Xebia to find a way to respond to changing market dynamics more quickly and adequately. The key to success turned out to be Agile. Working with a Kanban board and carefully selected Scrum methods freed up project capacity, improved innovation strength, and shortened their TTM. This new way of working hasn't gone unnoticed. Unilever Global asked the team to share their experiences, as this project shows how change can be sparked at any level. It doesn't always require a top-down approach.
