Nowadays, innovation and agility are both crucial competences for a sustainable business, albeit that they are often tackled separately. Innovation does not require agility, but agility can greatly leverage innovation capabilities. Agility does not come for free; you often need to make a considerable effort to create flexible organizations and IT systems, from renovating or replacing legacy systems to perhaps even changing the organizational culture. Hence, organizations need to choose where to focus their efforts in becoming more agile.
A service can be formalized under a contract. The service system can be subject to regulation, such as Basel II and III, Solvency II, etc. ), and their relations.

No new requirements may be added during a sprint; this keeps the team focused, but is criticized by some as not being agile enough. Scrum identifies four basic types of meetings. The aforementioned daily standup or scrum; the sprint planning meeting, to decide upon the sprint backlog; the sprint review meeting, where the results from a sprint are reviewed; and the sprint retrospective, where the team reflects on what went well and what could be improved for the next sprint. The latter is very interesting, because this provides an explicit learning cycle, which is perhaps one of the main success factors of agile methods.
