=== The iron triangle in project management ===

The difference between agile and traditional approach is that with a traditional approach, scope is fixed and won’t change, but the time and cost can change. This means that projects can often deliver late or over budget affecting quality negatively. In agile approaches, the pyramid is inverted. Time and cost are fixed (e.g., time-boxed short cycles called Sprints), but the scope remains variable and can change. This ensures quality remains stable by prioritizing high-value features within constraints.  
With some adaptations, it can provide an efficient working method and mindset for our challenging objectives in the next 4 years.

Key characteristics of Agile are:
* Focus on delivering value early and frequently. Decisions are based on what is known.
* Close collaboration between all parties involved. Continuous stakeholder involvement at all levels.
* Plans are created with the involvement of team members.
* Incremental development with short cycles.
* Scope management by continuous (re)prioritization of the Work Items. Embracing change, continuous learning and improvement.
* Just enough documentation and control.

This method aims to continuously improve and streamline all project processes.
