Florence Nightingale revolutionised nursing during the Crimean War, emphasising hygiene, organisation, and compassion. Known as the "Lady with the Lamp," she also pioneered data visualisation, creating her famous "coxcomb chart" to demonstrate how improved sanitation reduced mortality rates. Her work reformed healthcare, laying the foundation for modern nursing and inspiring evidence-based practice worldwide.

This method, foundational to Agile, encourages innovation and adaptability in competitive markets.
