Van Bennekum has been credited for changing the word "software" to "solutions" to open Agile to everyone.[8] He works for Agile can proliferate beyond IT departments into others like human resources and marketing.[5] Agile is a methodology for project development that require speed and flexibility. It's a philosophy that involves a different way of working and organizing. Until a few years ago, Agile was a framework specific to software development.

During the last few years, van Bennekum worked on the Integrated Agile Transformation Model.
