What is Agile?

Quick Definition

An iterative approach to project management and software development that delivers work in small, frequent increments rather than one large release.

How it works

The Agile Manifesto, published in 2001, prioritizes individuals over processes, working software over documentation, customer collaboration over contracts, and responding to change over following a plan. Agile isn't a single methodology—it's an umbrella philosophy that includes frameworks like Scrum, Kanban, and XP.

Agile in practice

Instead of spending 6 months building a product in secret and launching it all at once, an agile team ships small updates every 1-2 weeks. Each iteration includes planning, building, and reviewing—creating a feedback loop that catches issues early.
