This is an empirical study done in one Fortune 500 company where agility was adopted while the team was working on in order to deliver a product consisting of responsive web design. The adoption resulted in Pragmatic Agile approach, where the agility and Hero team approach was found to result in significant savings in both efforts needed to make the product and quality of the product delivered.
