Agile development is a conceptual framework of software engineering based on iterative and incremental development, specifically tailored to the speed of delivery.

Although there are many agile development methodologies, CI&T uses the Scrum methodology. Scrum is based on sprints, a concentrated development effort often measured in blocks of four weeks. By using Scrum, we can deliver results more quickly, while also promoting flexibility to address customer needs.

CI&T migrated to Scrum in 2006 and right off the bat our customers were adhering to the methodology incredibly quickly. Agile development goes hand-in-hand with Lean IT to deliver greater value to our customers’ businesses and eliminate waste to help them reduce costs and improve quality, speed and business agility leads to business agility. With many certified Scrum Masters, CI&T is a market leader in successfully employing agile development with clients such as Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Yahoo! and many others.
