And today, it is becoming true even for products, producers, and other market elements. And especially so now, with the market conditions being extremely hostile, every product, producer, and technology must adapt to the demands of the new age. The agile methodology, besides being a milestone in the history of the software industry, is in a position where it has to prove its mettle or adapt to survive. And in that line of thought, there are a few trends that are expected to manifest in the year 2020. One such of the most likely trend is that of distribution. The very design of the agile methodology warrants co-located teams capable of reacting quickly and communicating very efficiently to changing conditions. This design will ensure more distributed agile teams in the near future. Another trend as a result of such ubiquitous presence would be its adaption ceasing to be optional. The above trends will further groom another vogue of higher demand for agile coaches, leading to a wider repertoire of training offerings. Eventually, the sheer volume growth will boost the agile adaptation from team level to organizational or business level. However, the list of innovations and trends does not end there. To help get a holistic idea of the developments of the industry, this edition of CIO Applications presents the top agile consulting/service companies that deliver the best outcomes for their clients. It also offers insightful inputs from subject matter experts along with observations from CIOs and CXOs.
