Reap the benefits of Agile methodology in product development with Mural 

Adopting Agile product development software isn’t just about changing how teams work — it’s about achieving better outcomes all across the board. Let’s break down this methodology’s biggest benefits and how to make the most of them with the right tech partner (aka Mural).

1. Stronger customer focus

Agile keeps your users front and center, ensuring customer satisfaction stays at the core of every decision. With Mural, teams can create and visualize customer journeys and map user feedback collaboratively:

• Use our customer journey mapping templates to uncover pain points and opportunities.
• Create user story maps to ensure development tasks align with real customer goals.
• Collaborate on an infinite canvas that captures feedback from stakeholders, keeping user experience at the heart of every decision.

2. Faster delivery of product outcomes

Agile for product development helps teams ship updates quickly and consistently. According to Zippia’s research, 71% of respondents cite accelerated software delivery as their reason for adopting this methodology. Mural accelerates delivery cycles by:

• Enabling real-time collaboration on sprint planning boards to define tasks and priorities clearly.
• Offering visual Kanban boards to streamline workflows and maintain momentum.
• Providing integrations with tools like Jira, Asana, and Trello, ensuring seamless task tracking and execution.

3. Proactive product issue detection

Agile’s iterative structure helps detect product issues early. Instead of waiting until the end of a project to uncover roadblocks, Agile teams solve problems incrementally, saving both time and money. This proactive approach accelerates time to market and fosters innovation, enabling development teams to adapt quickly to changing requirements and emerging technologies.Mural’s software supports proactive issue detection by:

• Facilitating retrospectives with dedicated templates, allowing teams to reflect on sprints and apply improvements immediately.
• Enabling brainstorming sessions to surface potential risks and blockers before they escalate.
• Using visual clustering tools (including AI-powered options) to organize and prioritize feedback, spotting patterns that reveal underlying issues.

4. Improved team collaboration

With Agile frameworks emphasizing communication, cross-functional teams break silos. According to our 2024 Teamwork Research Report, over 50% of knowledge workers say poor teamwork has led to employee burnout — a challenge that Agile directly addresses by prioritizing teamwork and open communication​.Mural enhances team collaboration through:

• Visual sprint boards for planning and tracking progress, keeping everyone on the same page.
• Facilitation tools — such as voting sessions, timers, and countdown features — to add structure to meetings, making them more effective and outcome-driven.
• Async brainstorming and prioritization tools that enable distributed teams to contribute at their own pace, reducing meeting fatigue.
• Integrations with tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom for frictionless collaboration within existing workflows.
