The fact is that a significant portion of the market for business software is held by small companies. I've worked for a number of small software houses supplying an industry-specific product which has achieved a dominant market share in that sector. How can this happen if economic laws dictate that bigger is always better?

Size is relative. If you have a small sector a small software house is probably quite big in comparison, as opposed to something such as the CAD market.

To me, the facts show that small can compete in some markets with big. Seeing as there are economies of scale benefitting the larger outfits, the smaller ones must have something going for them to stay in the race.

I reckon that, if a large software developer competes in a small market, it wouldn't be using all of its resources. It would use, say, a development team. As a result, the difference in real size (of number of developers in this case) is probably rather small.

Agile is the adjective, agility the adverb. I used each in my post, the first to describe a 'team' (a noun), and the second to describe the verb 'to scale'. I believe my grammar is correct.

Your grammar is correct.

But the method itself is called "agile."
