1. Shorter development cycles result in a faster time-to-market:enabling the business to respond to market conditions and gain or maintain competitive advantage.
2. Increased productivity results in increased efficiencies: such as higher throughput and lower costs

4. Ability to adopt and delivery emerging technologies: provides competitive advantage by ensuring the business can be first to market or early to market with differentiating capabilities
5. Higher job satisfaction among team members: translates to increased employee retention and increased ability to recruit top talent
