This book presents cutting-edge research and thinking on agile information systems. The concept of agile information systems has gained strength over the last 3 years, coming into the MIS world from manufacturing, where agile manufacturing systems has been an important concept for several years now. The idea of agility is powerful: with competition so fierce today and the speed of business so fast, a companys ability to move with their customers and support constant changing business needs is more important than ever. Agile information systems:

have the ability to add, remove, modify, or extend functionalities with minimal penalties in terms of time, cost, and effort

have the ability to accommodate and adjust to the changing needs of the end-users.
