I have been unable to find a simple list of companies that are using agile / lean for biz funk purposes (e.g., marketing, content development, finance, etc). So I figured I’d create my own list. I’ve only included examples that I could verify with at least one source. Not a perfect method, since not everything on the internet is truthy, and some of the links are a few years old, but it is a start. So consider this list to be one of those “living documents.” And you can help to keep it alive! If you know of another company that is using biz funk agile, please feel free to suggest it (and your source) in the comments.
