With Agile's penetration into all facets of a company, hiring managers now screen their new hires on the principles needed to be successful early in their careers. Following feedback from industry advisory boards at universities and partnership with hiring organizations, project management, and agile concepts now populate course competencies and specific benchmarks across all disciplines.
