Agile Marketing - Gateway to Wider Agility
Marketing agility often becomes the trojan horse for broader organizational change. How agile marketing teams create pull for agility in adjacent departments and leadership.
Agile marketing helps marketing organizations develop better campaigns faster. It helps marketers find sustainable pace and flow in the hectic marketing world by using Scrum, Kanban, and other agile patterns in a way that fits marketing work. At its best, team members act as “mini CMOs” - thinking cross-functionally and feeling empowered to deliver results, not just assets.
But then the team hits a problem or opportunity that requires collaboration with other functions. Suddenly Agile Marketing looks like an agile island in a sea of traditional management. It is a bit like agile development without DevOps: the team can move, but the surrounding system still decides how much impact actually shows up.
That is why Agile Marketing can become a gateway to wider agility. It is a useful stopover on the way to a more interesting destination: agile business teams that can organize around customer and business outcomes across functions.
