Agile marketing[1] is an organizational effectiveness strategy that uses self-organizing, cross-functional teams doing work in frequent iterations. It aims to drive growth by focusing team efforts on those that deliver value to the end-customer. This emerging practice in marketing applies selected principles of agile software development.[2] Proponents argue this increases the speed, quality, flexibility, and effectiveness of a marketing department.
At a high-level, agile marketing may be described as a group of teams organizing around the question “How can we best deliver value to our customer?” Teams collaborate across an organization to execute a set of high priority tasks over a recurring short (1-4 week) period - adapting direction, objectives, and processes as needed.
