For those who may not be aware of the work that we do here at Initforthe, we are a software design, development, and consultancy company that adheres strictly to the Agile Manifesto and its 12 key principles. In today's article, we are going to share exactly why we adhere to the Agile Manifesto and its 12 principles, as well as share the benefits we have found from doing so. Without further ado, let’s get straight into it.
To put it simply, we implement the Agile Manifesto into all the work we do because we believe that it is the path to any project's success. It makes mapping out your business, identifying key values, and product planning a breeze. Agile serves to resolve all issues that you may find in your day-to-day business and ensures you deliver and realise value.
We have found that by adhering strictly to the Agile Manifesto, it is better for the users. Agile is all about the customers, meaning we are engaging with the right people from the get-go. As well as being beneficial for your customers, it is also beneficial for your business too. Essentially, our bespoke software solutions do 10 times the work without the need to hire anyone. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, not when Initforthe are on the job.
Benefits of Agile
One of the biggest benefits of Agile and our services combined is the amount of free time you will now have. What will you do with all that free time?
Here at Initforthe, we believe that at least 80% of what you do can likely be automated to some degree. So, with all that in mind, what is not to love? It is not something that you are going to regret! In fact, some clients have reported saving up to £100,000 in salaries while our automated processes take over.

Your Software Holds the Data. But Does It Know How Your Business Works?
Your software might hold all the data about your business, but does it actually know how your business works? In two recent conversations, I challenged business leaders to question something they'd always taken for granted: whether the work their people were doing needed a person to do it at all.
From unnecessary CRM administration to an entire department dependent on one employee's knowledge, both conversations revealed opportunities that went far beyond making existing tasks easier. What if our systems could understand how work happens, learn from our best people and eventually take responsibility for much of the routine work themselves?

AI can write the code. Your business still needs an engineer
AI can now write a lot of the code we used to pay developers to write. That doesn’t make software engineering irrelevant. It makes the bit that was always more important much harder to ignore: understanding what should be built in the first place.
Vibe coding can turn your assumptions into working software incredibly quickly. But if the assumption is wrong, you’ve simply built the wrong thing faster. Good engineering starts before the app, CRM or automation. It starts by understanding how the business actually works, where people add judgement, and which parts of the process shouldn’t exist at all.

Four interruptions, two lost hours and the process your people shouldn’t be driving
Four interruptions can wipe nearly two hours from the useful part of a working day, and that’s before you count the interruption itself. Add long manual processes, routine human error, rework and stress, and you get a working environment where good people spend too much time recovering, correcting and chasing.
The answer isn’t to tell people to focus harder. It’s to design a better system, one that drives the process, preserves context, moves routine work automatically and only interrupts people when their judgement is genuinely needed.
