The document discusses applying Agile principles and methods to international development programs to make them more effective and able to facilitate change. It argues that traditional development approaches deliver considerable waste and do not adapt to changing needs. Using Agile techniques like kanban, standups and burnup charts, the author has helped over 380 marginalized entrepreneurs in developing countries increase their revenue and profitability. This Agile, digitally-led approach aims to empower locals to transform their own communities and nurture peace through prosperity.
